[–] fredsanford 12y ago ↗ Another site that doesn't work with either adblock or ghostery running... [–] IbJacked 12y ago ↗ I thought so too, at first, but then I discovered it's just an odd site design.There's a big X in the upper right corner that acts like a Close button. Clicking it hides the article and re-enables the rest of the page. [–] fredsanford 12y ago ↗ I don't see an X of any sort. Just the left hand sidebar, a white stripe at the top that says "Blog" and otherwise empty whitespace.I guess I better get to work on my ideas for next-gen obnoxious ad and tracker blocking.

[–] UnFleshedOne 12y ago ↗ Now if only xcode wasn't a steaming pile of an IDE comparing to visual studio... [–] deletes 12y ago ↗ Can someone provide an objective comparison? [–] _random_ 12y ago ↗ No ReSharper. No NuGet. No extensibility. Single language. ...Ballmer did not say "developers, developers" for no reason. Say what you want, but Microsoft always strived to provide best tools and libraries. Even if their communication is a mess. [–] hdra 12y ago ↗ The only extension I use is NuGet ( which I think is built in now?), but it still is the best IDE I ever used. [–] fredsanford 12y ago ↗ No...Microsoft did just enough to get you to continue to eat their dog food. It was the best dog food available, but... Still dog food.I still wonder why they break the help and documentation system every 3 major releases or so.
