> All anyone wanted was a retina macbook air. That's it. Everyone was perfectly happy and just wanted a nicer screen. The non-touch bar 13" model is exactly that. It weighs the same as an Air and has a smaller footprint, with t

Only if the track record you're referring to is one that you cherry-picked based on your agenda.

You're being intellectually dishonest. You have no way of knowing about correct reports that the intelligence community provides the military on a constant basis.

"the government" is made up of a shit ton of people. I don't think there's some grand conspiracy involving the intelligence agencies, the Obama administration, and even Republican Senators to make all this up.

Right, the other 90% of the world saw how ridiculous the election was with all its focus on email scandals and fake news, then can read Trump's Tweets and see how even further disconnected from reality the US government is about to be.

Are you suggesting that if one assessment is inaccurate then we can never trust them again? It's undoubtedly not even the same sources or investigators as this report.

Dear lord, either Hacker News has a surprisingly large Trump-supporting crowd or it's part of the Russian social media campaign. Keep sowing that uncertainty and doubt on a report that is backed by classified information. Do you want t

Good luck when your program is dynamically linked to a library built with a different version of STL.

There are real use cases where you need granular control, like implementing WinRT components on Windows. Basically, anytime you need to have a barrier between error code-based and exception-based code, or at ABI boundaries.

To be fair, SurfaceBook has a 15W TDP dual core CPU.

I'm talking about the UWP/XAML/DirectComposition world, which admittedly is not game-related.

Thanks. I assumed iOS was like Windows. Although Windows also has scroller controls that you create on the UI thread but delegate the actual event handling to the compositor.

You're never going to get smooth scrolling if you need to hit the UI thread for every touch event. The platform UI frameworks use background threads for scrolling, directly in the OS compositor.

Undoubtedly due to blocking the UI thread on I/O.

Do custom elements allow re-templating? It's pretty powerful to be able to separate the visual presentation of a control (i.e., markup) from the logic. Every determinate progress bar has 0..1 progress and current progress properties,

When you're the president of the United States, you need to speak precisely and choose words carefully. The stakes are a lot higher than when you're "talking to someone you respect."

I'm a "pro" user that does development. I do all my work via Microsoft Remote Desktop so I care most about portability, battery life, screen size, and keyboard/trackpad usability and comfort. But I also like to play vide

Both UWP and Xamarin Forms have all of that.

They also use Tizen for their TV's and appliances.

Looks like it uses Xamarin Forms for UI, which uses XAML and is WPF-like: https://developer.tizen.org/development/preview/getting-star... Seems like that might be the only option: https://developer.tize

UWP and Xamarin apps can use XAML, so it's not like the underlying ideas of WPF/Silverlight are dead.

Better title: Xamarin Studio rebranded to Visual Studio for Mac.

The markup is a pretty small part of XAML/WPF. The actual framework, controls, and rendering are the bulk of it.

That's my big takeaway from the last week. I don't want algorithms influencing how I think.
