XAML/Silverlight was pretty fantastic. Significantly more sane layout model (by virtue of having more than a mote of sanity at all). It did handle a very wide gamut of clients during its time. Why? Because it was designed for creating

Very recently two other engineers had a long debate on a PR of mine that really had no material impact one way or another. My approach rang true with the article: "they can sort it out." I do enjoy a certain degree of challenge at

This is basically what was happening late 90s and early 2000s, except with the div. ARIA didn't exist at the time so this presented a major accessibility issue. We now have ARIA, but the "use the right element" cargo cult per

RAG can't create associations to data that isn't superficially (found by the indexing strategy) assosciated to the query. For example, you might query about one presidential candidate and lose out on the context of all other presi

.Net was built for interop (mostly with COM+, but that's close enough to C ABI once you get a function pointer). It's pretty good at making it easy. GCHandle and pinning in general aren't incredibly rare, heck, merely passing

Pixels can also be re-locked with a custom ROM present (I think Graphene is the only one that does this, though). For that reason alone I'll be transitioning back to Pixel (once this phone is beyond help).

This seems vaugely similar to C# Code Contracts. The difference there is that it was embedded as an assertion into the method: Contract.Requires(start > 0); Contract.Ensures(someReturn != null); I loved it. It gave you much
