I noticed the same exact thing. It's nice Microsoft finally see that its UWP/Store thing is a failure and start supporting the good old way instead of persisting to force developers using something they don't want.

Thanks for the link. I saw that guy at the TV and the fact he never used a computer but didn't understood why it was a big deal.

A similar technic also exists to use Windows in VirtualBox on MacOS. http://danielphil.github.io/windows/virtualbox/osx/2015/08/2...

But Microsoft have no phone offering. And if they release a new phone, as a an ex-hobbyist Windows Phone developer who experienced all the consumer and developer hostile moves (no upgrade from 7 to 8, numerous lies, etc.) I'll be very

I support it too. Big corporations pay almost no taxes in our country; instead it is individual and small and medium entreprises that are heavily taxed. This makes it very hard to start and run a business in the long term.

Did you try the service before ranting? It have been available for years for free and keeps getting new features. I don't like the new UI, but as a private git repository it is solid. We also get recently a huge extension of free build

Yeah the new name is really bad (as per usual with Microsoft). The previous one, Visual Studio Online bring no confusion and when very explicit about what it is. It's a bit saddening as the service is great.

Exactly. The fact that the .net framework will not implement .net standard mean the latter lost immediately most of its raison d'être.

No they aren't. They are porting WinForms and WPF to Core but keeping them closed source.

Exactly my thought when reading the article: the example with threeProvider goes against the point made by the author as it allows more scenarii to occur.

They are not idiots: they work to save a dying industry (most news outlets are running on public subventions) that is beneficial for them by presenting their political opponents in a bad way. How poor the law is is not their concern.

It's actually the way they do it in Japan too, so it's not only a labor cost problem that is at play.

Windows 10 UI is objectively bad on a lot of points like consistency, search from the Start menu, etc. At least up until Win8 you could switch to the classic theme to get something looking like 98’s UI. Now you have no choice but to suffer

Yes but food and housing is not included either when attending a private school.

You forgot to mention the private schools are expensive and use a somewhat pyramidal scheme where older students teach newer ones to repaid part of their school fees. In public education all teachers hold PhD or engineer titles so they have

Today I learned. I'm still sure it is written as a double entendre just like the last sentence of the article.

No he's right. Haxe was developed by a French game company to target the Flash runtime instead of using Adobe's compiler. It can also compile to other languages: it was uses to code the full stack in the same language will using p

Everything you cited exists also in the traditional university system. Projects (one or two per subject per semester, sometime with a high degree of liberty for the details), getting help from other students (just go in the CS student assoc

Just keep in mind that most higher education is "free" anyway in France (either around 400€ a year for registration fees or totally free for people which have a government scholarship) and there is no exams entry at the university

They are still not many choices out there: either Apple with high-priced defective keyboards and no desktop solutions or Linux which is still a gamble especially on laptop. In some regards, the situation is worse than a decade ago. On Micro

I did it one time. It was really long to download all the build tools and source code then even more to compile the thing. A lot of free space was required (there was few remaining on my SSD). After that the resulting browser was approximat

This become even more awful when the target language is not English because English is used as a pivot language: there is now two rounds of errors. I’ve heard from a researcher specialized in the AT field that a rule based Japanese to Frenc
