First, let me just say that this seems great. It looks like a perfect way to use reasonable defaults (project name, Version) and use the existing `dotnet publish` infrastructure to…

This is like opening a time capsule and examining all the little details. Almost more interesting than the barebones, locked-in-time product page for a paid C compiler, is the lock…

A reasonable high-enough DPI option I've been watching for a while is a 55" 8K TV. We're close to the 8K utopia! - HDMI 2.1 can push 8K @ 60Hz over a single cable (though I am told…

I hope people don't actually believe PowerShell is NIH. PowerShell had good reasons to exist in 2006, when it was released to the public. LINQ didn't exist yet, most of the "Window…

Nope. At work we have a similar setup.exe file. The setup.exe is a bootstrapper that installs prerequisites first, then runs the ClickOnce installer which is separate.

A lot of people in the comments here miss the context: this was written by Microsoft ecosystem developers. Some of the items on the list specifically target Microsoft MVPs and Regi…

If you haven't even seen Windows 8, please don't comment on it. It's clear from even a quick look at Windows 8 what awkward transition between "tablet" and "desktop" he's talking a…

I blame XAML, and I'm justified. Some of my teammates here have changed Visual Studio to open XAML files with the XML editor, which means * Visual Studio no longer crashes all the …
