1. Have you asked any women who aren't in these specialist areas why they aren't or have you read the arguments by the politicians and (I hate using the word) extremists? I have listened to both sides. Women aren't in…
You probably want FORTH then :)
Tl;dr version: Everyone offended with everything and everyone reading about what they should be offended about in a media outlet using one liners suggesting that they should be remembered for a clothing choice rather a…
Well it depends how you do it. There's certainly some mileage in doing it like that properly: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/lukeh/archive/2007/10/01/taking-linq...
Yeah my 5 year old is sitting there eating a sock.
Excellent. Thanks for the tip.
I wonder if DHCP works on Hyper-V again now (it didn't for the 10.0 cycle which was a PITA)
Source? AFAIK only .net will which is not visual studio.
One thing has for me: people are spending lots of money on them. Top slicing that is pretty easy. Oh and most problems are solved or canned so all we're doing is gluing things together and making it look pretty (which…
As someone who is old enough to have written "programs" and sees the instant relationship to "apps", I vigorously disagree. Lets consider these points: 1. Firstly there are competing platforms on which to deploy your…
That's not going to happen any time soon. Not because they don't want to but because the whole process would be monumentally complicated and expensive. I suspect we'll see a new 100% managed code IDE in the next 3-5…
Within the last couple of months literally. I think to be honest that some of the stuff Microsoft have been working on behind the scenes is probably scaring the crap out of Apple and Google. There's not been a platform…
Yes. It's now Microsoft circa 2001.
Yes there is. It's the world wide web. An interoperable universal interaction standard. Or it was until Google started pulling an IE6 game. I use Firefox for everything because there is no central motivation to…
That's basically it but the amount of light reaching that sensor is improved by a somewhat larger lens than you usually get on a smartphone.
This. to quote my father (who is actually a professional photographer): Pissy lens; pissy photo. You need chunks of glass at the moment regardless of sensor size. I carry a basic DSLR around with me (D3100) and a decent…
Definitely. I've got a centos 6.5 VM that is a master svn server for a multinational with a 22Gb repo and 190 users and does front end http and ssl for 45 requests/second (average with peaks of 200/sec) and it barely…
That's of absolutely no use when the box is under heavy load. Perf counters just stop working. We had a system wide thrashing problem with ReaderWriterLockSlim which doesn't work properly under load. Took 15 mins to log…
I'll add something here. The CLR is a PITA when it goes wrong. Its a total bastard to debug. JVM on the other hand has wonderful instrumentation capabilities at runtime. At best you get a minidump out of a CLR process…
Virtually none of SQL server is. Most of SharePoint is. Exchange is all c++ still. So we might see SharePoint for Linux yet. The other two I suspect are very tied to win32.
My sister is a psychiatrist and has the same opinion on the subject. There's nothing wrong with postulating and analysing it, even if the views are perhaps unpopular. Nothing should be beyond discussion even if it's…
I get what you mean but a tab is purposely meaningless and unqualified. It means 1 indent, not 8 spaces, 3 bananas or one tree. It is a unit. How the user displays that is up to them.
Go uses tabs. That's the law. It's in the documentation. Groups of spaces and tabs are semantically different. Tabs mean indentation. Spaces mean spaces.
I don't really want that. It's a PITA getting a job lined up for when you've quit plus the garden leave time. It's easier when there's just notice to consider.
UK here. The current company I work at tried to get me to sign one. I took the contract to my solicitor who just crossed it out and said hand it back and tell them to accept it or fuck off. There were no complaints.…
