Going out of beta in a few days: https://github.com/SolutionsDesign/HnD (and already in production). Customer support system. .NET core, asp.net core mvc.

They also kicked out Karl Peterson, who designed the first MVP logo (the diamond with the large MVP inside it) and wrote about 3000+ reply posts a year in various visual basic grou…

I've been a C# MVP for many years before they didn't renew me because I was too critical towards MS' direction (this was before they OSS-ed .NET). When I was awarded, it felt like …

Or you know, Google could have emailed them, told them exactly that and waited for a response before pulling the plug on the servers. While you make sense from Google's PoV, it doe…

Ironically, they let you know every time they can that you can contact your personal adwords sales person by phone.

I think they still are mainly focused on their ad business as the core of the company and cloud is something they 'do on the side'. For Microsoft, Azure is core business, it's the …

- It gives then 'streetcred' in the OSS communities using GitHub. This goodwill is valuable. - It allows them to peek into any private repo on GH right from their own office. All m…

> It only deploys to our development/CI environment automatically. Deploying out to the production tier is a button press still. Ah missed / overlooked that!

> Code review is overrated. Scientific research suggests otherwise though.

> or we may just post the commit in chat for review before we build out. Isn't that 'after the fact', considering your teamcity polls the gitlab repo a lot, so a commit will trigge…

> The whole point of Core is that MS have rewritten .Net and ASP to learn the lessons of more modern languages. ASP.NET 4.6 is standing on 19 years of cruft which is why it has so …

Blendle offers articles across various outlets. It's a dataminer's dream: they can monitor the interests of the readers of the articles like no online newspaper/article site can as…

Nothing will change. Remember, the XBox One sports a Blu-ray drive, made by their archenemy Sony. (maybe not physically made by Sony, but most patents regarding Bluray are in Sony'…

E. Yourdon was right after all! I knew it!

Good point, didn't think of that.

One word that I don't associate with floppies is 'reliable'. I don't know how many times I had bad sectors on my floppies back in the day. There's no protection against magnetic fi…
