Windows does have a C# compiler by default. It is located in the `Windows\Microsoft.NET` folder. Not very discoverable, though. And starting with Windows 10 a metro app called 'Code Writer' seems to be installed by default for cod

You're not weird. PowerShell does have barriers to entry and that's why I also had used Cygwin on Windows until recently. And it might not change because it is a very different monster than POSIX. It is unfortunate for sure, but s

It is not only ugly but also slow. One of the pain points while using PowerShell. It seems that Microsoft didn't care much about the emulator until recently. Thankfully things are changing, it was improved a bit in the Windows 10 anniv

:( Why is it not the default? Is there a technical reason? I cannot think of any possible downside that the shortcuts would bring.

Actually I liked that feature. We used to chat with each other using it when I was in school. It was definitely a right choice for Microsoft to disable the Messenger service, but I was a bit sad when it actually happened.

It may sound crazy, but I did suffer from it myself. My Windows XP installation was guaranteed to be infected by the worm, because like you said, without any interaction (I didn't even open up the browser, to make sure I was not cr

That's interesting, I've always thought the WebSocket spec is too complicated with all those frame types and message fragmentation, and I completely ignored contunation frames when I had to implement the protocol myself. But it se

Yeah, but both parties can leverage the existing connection without resorting to a message-based protocol, can't they? They could just assume they're now sending and receiving bytes after the upgrade. What I meant when I said &quo

Well, just by looking at a glance, kqueue seems to pose similar problems. I mean, the problem mentioned in the OP: 1. Kernel receives some data, and wakes up A 2. A reads some data 3. Kernel receives some other data, and wakes up B

by yokohummer7 10y ago
So, the kernel is free to assign a connection to a new thread even if there is a previous thread working on it? Because the kernel has no idea when the previous worker will be done processing the data. So the user has to manually unregister

Funny, it seems that, by the standards of the OP, the fork you mentioned is not "Python 2" either. It backported type annotations, async/await, and many more from Python 3. So when are we expected to see a "true" Py

by yokohummer7 10y ago
Might be an off-topic, but recently I learned that Windows does come with a C# compiler. It's included in the .NET runtime, which is installed by default nowadays. This might be useful if you're extremely lazy to install any lan

One thing I find odd about the display is that it somehow changes white balance occasionally depending on the content. I'm not sure if this only happens on BootCamp or not, but it's a bit surprising. Is there any setting to turn o

Oh wow. I can't believe I didn't think of it earlier! As a Vim user I've always been told it is good to swap Caps Lock and Esc, yet I haven't actually tried it due to my laziness. Probably now is the time.

Well, my experience is the opposite: while using the new MacBook I realized how infrequent I was using the function keys. The only times that I noticed the "missing" function keys were when I tried to open up the web developer con

When they say the privacy issues of Windows I see a double standard. Android is, to my mind, equally "invasive" as Windows, if not more. Except the fact that Android's source code is open, they are pretty much same regarding

I have zero knowledge about microcontrollers, so forgive my dumb question... But how do you program with 16-byte RAM!? I believe even ENIAC had more memory than that? (Though I'm not sure if ENIAC had such a concept like main memory.)

I was thinking more about the "proper noun" aspect of the UNIX commands. I mean, what do `awk`, `sed`, `tar`, `xargs`, `df` mean? Why does `free` only print the remaining memory, not the disk space? Why is `top` even related to pr

Well, how about this: ls . -r -file -fi *.html | cp -d /home/new_dir/ It is a bit shorter than your bash equivalent, still doing the same thing. I think you're mistaken about what `cp` (`Copy-Item`) is intended to
