This was one of my key take-aways from Dale Carnegie's classic, 'How to Win Friends and Influence People'. I've seen it mentioned on various reading lists for those wanting to go i…

Not sure why this has been posted. It looks to be an old list - far from 'ultimate' for 2014. The .Net FOSS community has been gaining momentum in the past few years, with most new…

Thanks for the super quick reply! I'm glad to hear I'm not completely crazy with this idea. Multiple 20GB images make my diddy little SSD cry, so this feature would be fantastic.

One problem with using Windows guests on Vagrant is how big they are. You can be looking at 20GB for a stripped down disk with just the OS. This can easily become prohibitive if yo…

Try Linqpad for a scratchpad too. Don't let the linq name fool you - its great for general purpose fiddling about. It has been truly indispensable when developing on .Net. http://w…

Great! I was going to say F# should be supported, but then I remembered there's this: http://www.tryfsharp.org/Create Still, I can definitely see myself using this to share little …

Came to say the same thing. Bring back mouse chording damnit! (Not to mention all of the little things that made Opera, Opera).

Emphasis on was . Now tab management and the side panel are non-existent.

Check out the MSR project Pex (for .Net, not PHP however) http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/pex/ It is designed to generate input for your code (the public surface by de…

See my other reply for the perils of an express mode, which the lifts in my building do have (of a sort), and everyone knows about. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6326890

We have our lift buttons on the outside. You choose your floor, and are directed to one of the 6 lifts available. This seems to confuse every visitor to the building, who will walk…

Yep, I've been advocating running a headless nix VM on Windows for a while now, where you can easily 'shoosh' in (as Hanselman likes to call it - never heard this before myself). T…

I recently returned back to the UK from a 2 week long US road trip, covering 2000 miles. We downloaded the Nokia Drive data for the states we were visiting in advance onto my girlf…

This has so many missing features that I would expect from an Opera browser. Lots of seemingly little things that add up (where's the mouse chording!) Where is this bleeding edge O…

Given the way the City works, do you really want us to not include bonus?

> Anyway, I'm done with this thread I'm glad you've decided to follow your own advice and stop digging. Ignoring your original reply to arianvanp, you'll see that interesting discu…

But he isn't 'the' authority in FP, simply 'an' authority. And this particular thread seems to be more grounded in discussing FP concepts than Erlang. I had a similar thought when …

Having spent 2 mins with it, aside from what has already been mentioned... No mouse chording (distinct from gestures). Wikipedia even highlights Opera as a key implementation of mo…

Does this use the same process-per-tab sandboxing that Chrome uses? I'm one of those crazy users with far too many tabs, and I was always sceptical that Chrome would be able to han…

The former of course. Because Linus is a git :) Though my French boss goes for the latter, but with a very soft J. In fact, he pronounces it like 'Gîte' http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

Doesn't the G stand for Graphics? That has a hard G, so I pronounce GIF with one too.

I think its well known that Microsoft are working on the former, a non-gaming Xbox (save for casual games perhaps), primarily designed for films, TV and music. Unfortunately I can'…

But you haven't yet answered Akamel's question of why this exists, with comparisons to the existing standards (OData in this case). Everything I've seen just says that this is simp…

I strongly suggest you have a look at OData. The latest developments define a similarly lightweight JSON data format. It does everything this proposal does, and more (methinks the …

I wouldn't just say 'quite common'. I'd say it's the norm. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BritishBrevity ...usual warning about a tvtropes link, and your subsequent dro…
