I think you're more or less right on your reasons. I do have add-on thought as far as demand shifts contributing to price increases; A lot of the demand was driven by people wanting to move into bigger houses. Those who didn't h

I've done some substantial refactoring to a WPF app via Rider. I could at least consistently get a static -preview- of my WPF component/layout but the drag/drop, IDK how to even get it to work. However, at least for WPF the e

There's some truth to this. As a C# developer, I get to deal with a lot more: - Bikeshedding over LINQ - Going back and optimizing LINQ - Helping Developers understand someone else's LINQ, Reflection/Attribute Abuse - Helping

I can't do one for Decompiling, but I reverse engineered a Pole-line drafting application in order to write utilities to fix the data corruption it sometimes caused.

Closest I can think of is the days of yore where .NET Component licensing was a thing that was encountered frequently enough it was mentioned more prominently in books. This was useful for a lot of 3rd party developers that wanted to provid

As others have mentioned, the peripherals/etc related to a specific model of microcontroller and how you work with them play a big factor. But I'd also like to throw in: - 16 years or so ago, the US side of the Auto industry was t

That doesn't work in practice; there's a legal difference between a part on a new vehicle that was DIT (Damaged In Transit) and one pulled out of a lease.

Hard to say. I think to some extent there would have to be something to 'extinguish'. At this point, 3d rendering is a bit of a crapshoot; Multi-platform vendors will likely have a pluggable rendering pipeline anyway (i.e. need to

One thing everyone forgets about the Volt and the timing of it's demise; the end of production coincided with the phasing out of a lot of the tax credits/incentives provided by the govt. For most of it's life it was a 40k veh

Honestly? I don't know for sure. On one hand, my understanding is that they used TLA+ to validate the model[0]. One would assume that if they went to that trouble there is at least a specification for how it should work. OTOH, Specif

What's interesting to me is I thought at first that maybe the only reason this won was because California is one of the few states where non-competes are illegal (this being a form of de-facto non-compete.) Then I read the link and saw

I think the SECC1 design was more based on practicality of cache that was available at the time; While the connector was 'proprietary,' the Bus design itself was probably a more protect-able part of locking AMD out. FWIW AMD'

Yeah this can be a hard problem to solve. In most managed languages to 'properly' deal with it you typically need to accept locking on some level (like with ConcurrentDictionary in C# or ConcurrentHashMap in Java). One semi-elegan

But... one sometimes has to ask -whether- it would have happened if they didn't sell it off. I feel like any deal involving IBM at that level would involve some absurd amount of bureaucracy, even back then.

You're absolutely correct. A few years ago I went gluten free to see if it helped with some other health issues (it did, NCGS.) So, between late 2016 and the end of 2020, I avoided gluten as best as I could. Which all but eliminates mo
