It's not a new golden age of fitness. There may be a short-term boon, but people's motivation will eventually nose dive without social interaction. "Previously, 50% of gym-goers quit after 6 months." Why would you not…
I feel like part of the reluctance with accepting C# and .NET as fully open source platform, outside of the Microsoft ecosystem, is somewhat due to Azure. At the moment, the three main cloud providers basically…
I quite appreciate these kinds of posts. Fun and silly, yet make you think about the way computers work outside the box.
