That actually sounds like a fun Roslyn analyzer project.

Why would they do that?

I honestly thought you were being ironic at first. The pricing info is in their FAQ: https://slimfaq.com/faq (specifically at https://slimfaq.com/faq/24-getting-started/84-how-much…

The default terminal got a bit better in Windows 10. I've been trying to run stock for the last few weeks (rather than installing ConEmu ( https://conemu.github.io/ ), which is wha…

And technically you should just use the 'ProgramFiles' environment variable, since the folder might be called something else if your install is in another language. And Windows all…

I'd prefer opt-in, and a nice directory of robots you could essentially subscribe to. I did a little thinking about this a while ago when the Gunio robot was annoying some people a…

And all that shuffling costs tax dollars.

My wife and I opt out every time. Whenever possible, we just aim toward the line that's using the old metal detectors* (since the new machines are either slow or prone to breaking,…

Can't watch the video right now, but the summary at the bottom mentions France and Bulgaria - does it bother to mention the geographic differences between the US and those countrie…

Yeah, I still don't understand the logic behind this. I've used the App Store and the Windows Phone Marketplace, and of the two I've actually bought a lot more stuff from the Marke…

In this case it's not as much about keeping it secret (since anyone who sees/handles it might have the number memorized or recorded) as it is reducing the attack surface. If the fu…

Sadly, I can :) Just a few years ago I looked at my receipt from a local Dairy Queen and it had all but the last four digits printed on it. I complained to the guy behind the count…

That's what the last three paragraphs of the post are: suggestions for solutions to the problem.

I think they meant that no one except for McDonald's was allowed to serve french fries (or anything similar to a french fry).

just try managing AD users in PowerShell - sure its easy once you've written your own custom script or mapped it to a web interface or something, but there's no built in equivalent…

Ran into a similar one about ten years ago; a medical records system with the assumption that you wouldn't need dates before 1/1/1900. You know who goes to the doctor a lot? Centeg…

The net result is code which breaks in spectacular fashion when the first unexpected condition is met. Which is generally what you want to have happen. Failing fast is a good thing…

"People used to say shit like this on slashdot all the time" I think that to myself about at least one HN article/comment every day :)

It was the best piece of blogging software available. Then they did that horrible ribbon redesign and ruined a near-perfect interface.

"doesn't really do remote employees" That might be the crux of your problem (and the problems a lot of other companies are having with hiring). This is just my totally biased outsi…

I don't know that it's the _only_ reason. I'm guessing another big part of it is that government agency software projects routinely run way past due and over budget, and often end …

This is excellent, and I'm fully behind it. Some of the best coworkers I've ever had were 5:01'ers - they got things done on time because they had to, and they didn't burn out. Jus…

Lots of programs already have this integration. Is it a bug report or feature request? Forward it to FogBugz. FogBugz figures out where it belongs (and if it gets it wrong, you tel…
