I 100% agree with you about the touch bar, but you might be underestimating the user-hostility of modern Windows and the shoddiness of Windows computer manufacturers. I've had devices from from Dell, Microsoft (3x), and…
Especially true as API design seems to have moved away from using exceptions in non-exceptional situations; handling them locally is not desirable in most cases. In the old days we'd have a Parse method that would blow…
This point grinds my gears toothless. I've been angry enough at the misery and indignity of TSA procedures to point out (in an airport) how easy it would be for anybody to bomb the dozens/hundreds of people stuck in the…
