Having been a sys-admin once upon a time (2006-2008), these answers are straight forward. Servers used to have discrete ME cards which were paid add-ons. Competition in the early 2000s drove these ME cards to be integrated in the motherboar

I’m surprised that the article and the discussion here don’t assess the impact the booming short-term rental market has on keeping otherwise available inventory off the residential market. Many cities have a lot of empty dwellings on any gi

FWIW, C# also has compiled into native executables/libs for many years via `mkbundle`[1] and into JS via several projects like Bridge.NET [2]. [1] https://linux.die.net/man/1/mkbundle [2] https://g

I'm surprised nobody has yet brought up the update that just came through which fixes issues in graphics card switching in new MBP's. If it preferentially uses the discrete graphics more than it needs to then, well, you know, batt

Especially when/if using Xamarin.Forms (and not XAML). It's a very good fit for a functional language. Code equals data.

That was just an internal working name. Xamarin.Forms has first and foremost been a code patterns library, not a WORA framework (despite how it may be used in practice). It's a unique leaf on the MV* tree. The central insight from it&#

Lot of overlap, but VS Code has a much bigger ecosystem/community. Xamarin/Visual Studio has advanced debugging features like thread inspection, "immediate" console for executing commands while the program execution is p

The makers of this product would even tell you that you aren't in the target market. This is a System On Module, not a Single Board Computer. The later is a "unbox, boot up, and play" experience. The former is "unbox, wi
