Say you're making $60k with $40k in expenses. Saving $20k. You move and now make $120k and your expenses double to $80k. You're saving $40k; twice as much. But in reality, not all of your expenses increase that much,…
Washington has no state income tax.
The proof is in the pudding. My savings are growing at an astronomically higher rate than it was in the Midwest. I used to tell myself the same thing before I moved.
> So if you make $60,000 in a small midwestern town, that's the same as making $120k in Seattle or the Bay Area. Not true at all. I made almost that exact jump when moving from the Midwest to Seattle. You're forgetting…
I'm running the Anniversary Update. Maybe things got better. It also sounds like you might need to rebuild your search index and make sure all the folders you want to be searchable are indexed.
You're upset that search got rebranded to Cortana? It can definitely search your entire PC. I just typed the name of a script I have sitting on my D: drive and pressed enter and it opened it.
> The lack of respect is infuriating. That's why I hate things like hackathons. We need people to think of us as engineers rather than tinkerers, and the labels we accept aren't helping.
UWP advantages: Way better security model Unified error handling Clean install/uninstall (no rot) Much faster and more capable version of XAML running on top of DirectComposition with easy DirectX interop Native support…
Which is why UWP has a capabilities-based sandbox.
Once you connect your box to the Internet, installing malware affects everyone.
Apparently Microsoft isn't allowed to evolve Windows with objectively better API's. Have fun with your GetLastError, fifteen parameter functions, and poorly documented flags. But hey, at least it doesn't have much…
You can install UWP apps from other sources. Side-loading is enabled by default since November.
We do. Unit tests, integration tests, manual smoke tests, code reviews of every commit, design reviews, self hosting... Sometimes your test matrix is too big. But I agree: sometimes you have to move slower in order to…
Even if you get better at estimating tasks, it's extremely hard to account for bugs that aren't discovered until later. I usually have a pretty accurate estimate for small tasks but never go back and add the time spent…
And you have to remember to log the error at every level of the stack, otherwise you're left with an error code that has no context.
The solution is to just make RAII wrappers for that stuff.
It's still not great. The train is slow, has way too many stops between Seattle and the airport, and sits too long at each stop. Many of the long distance busses are overcrowded during commute hours and the drivers…
Except they're not. Full paths, hidden files, and file extensions are also now check boxes on the default File Explorer ribbon, along with a button for copy full path. Plus, all the individual settings are searchable…
All of the Windows shell supports UI automation, so if you run into corner cases like this that aren't scriptable, you can just use PowerShell to automate the clicks.
Visual Studio has had that for awhile now. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn160178.aspx
They make it easier to diagnose crashes by providing more context than just an error code without extra effort (like a call stack). Fail fast is another option but that takes control away from the caller.
The problems are that ClearType doesn't look good with rotated screens (tablets), semi-transparent backgrounds, or animations. Edge actually has ClearType on by default in the upcoming update though.
