Why do we even give any press attention to when Elon expects anything to be ready? This is likely going to be another "We'll have full self-driving by the end of the current year of 2017", then 2018, then 2019, then 2020, then 2021, then 2022, all over again. Still waiting on my cyber truck delivery from 3 years ago. Yawn. Probably running out of money and needs some additional funding, so it's time to make another fraudulent promise.

I was fairly shocked to see .NET Core 3 / .NET Standard 2.1 documentation missing even though .NET Core 3 has shipped the release version. I don't think I've run into undocumented core APIs ever with .NET.

Your WinForms project needs to be .NET Core to reference a .NET Core library. Referencing a .NET Core library from a .NET Framework project is not a supported scenario. It can go the other way though - a .NET Core project supports adding references to .NET Framework libraries, but keep in mind there may be a few APIs that aren't available in .NET Core. It's fairly rare that you'll run into this though. Just remember - .NET Core new and backwards compat, .NET Framework old. You can't add a reference to a new .NET Core project from an old .NET Framework project.

Sounds like they are looking for PowerShell :) Such a massive improvement over text pipeline CLI scripting.

I don't understand how everyone working off of the main branch would even work, that seems ridiculous to me. Topic branches are the standard way of doing things and IMO the best way of doing things. Let's say you and another colleague are tasked with adding a feature, say adding a new window to an app. He starts to work on the view model, and you work on the UI. He finishes a portion of the view model and you want to start testing your UI with it while he finishes the rest. How the heck would you accommodate this without a "feature/new window" branch that you can both push to and pull from? You shouldn't be merging a half-finished view model into the main branch because now everyone else will have a half finished view model when they pull! Or let's say you get sick and need to take a few days off and someone else has to finish up your work...that means: a) they can't because you haven't been pushing code from your local repo to a feature branch in the company repo at the end of each day, or b) he can because you've been pushing incomplete buggy code to the main branch which gets pulled any time anyone pulls the main repo, so now everyone has your half finished code in their code base and has to deal with whatever problems that may cause The way you were using git before and the issues you are having with it now is clearly an organization and management problem. If you guys had someone good at managing distributed projects directing things it would be a world of a difference. I would suggest hiring a consultant who is good at this to help you guys develop a better process. Everyone should be committing many times a day to their local repo, and pushing to the company repo at the end of each day or when they finish something and want to share progress with someone else working on the topic. If the main branch gets some significant updates then you can merge those with the topic branch regularly so that when you finally finish the topic 2 weeks after you started you don't have 2 weeks of merge conflicts to fix all at once, rather you only have to deal with any issues from the last merge you did a day or two ago. Responsibility should be managed such that people working on different topics are extremely unlikely to change the same files. Git is a beautiful thing if used properly, but that requires good management with well thought out processes, discipline on the dev team and well organized code with good separation of concerns.

The way that line is worded is very confusing and ambiguous, but I take that to mean either A) from now until 2022, the amount if IP traffic is going to be more than the last 32 years of internet activity combined or B) the total annual traffic in 2022 is going to be more than the last 32 years combined

The most shocking thing about that article IMO is that by 2022 40% of the global population still won't be internet users.

This rather startling prediction comes from network infrastructure specialist Cisco which reckons that by 2022, 60 percent of the global population will be internet users.
EDIT: oh crap, am I still allowed to quote the article like that or is the EU coming after me now?? :rolleyes:

The Office 365 subscription is so cheap and comes with so many nice features that I honestly don't even know how this is a debate anymore TBH.

Yeah, Unity started off with ActionScript based scripts and added C# later so the scripting is kind of wonky. Xenko is much more C# friendly from what I can tell and apparently has a very good engine but the editor needs a bit of work from what people are saying. Looks super promising though!

I was actually looking to start a game project and was about to start learning Unity but this looks really interesting. Do you have any experience with it? Pros/cons vs Unity?

Ah...makes sense. Is there a way for admins to move this thread or should I repost it?

Does not compute :confused:
I don't really understand what you are getting at. What I would like is that for each news item, the newsletter would have a small link, like for example a link that says "[discussion]" next to the "Source: XYZ News" line in each news item that goes to the forum discussion for that news item. "So - link to what?" - the thread in the insider news forum for that news item.
Does not compute
I'm not suggesting it should be the default when you click the title of the article, I meant that there should be a link somewhere for the discussion, i.e. next to the source line perhaps, or a little discussion icon next to the title that goes to the forum or whatever.
I think it would be nifty if the daily newsletter had links in each news item to go to the forum discussion thread for that news item. It would encourage more discussion about the news items, and it's kind of inconvenient to go to the forum and find the thread for it "manually". I'm often curious what fellow CodeProjecters are saying about the news items or I want to say something about it myself but the friction involved in getting to the thread often dissuades me from doing it in the morning. Thoughts? :)

When I was a young lad and I played a lot of FPS games, there's was always something about the way the IntelliMouse felt that nothing else could match. When I could no longer get them I gradually just stopped playing FPS games because of frustration that I couldn't get another mouse to feel the same and I couldn't quite adapt to the way other mice moved no matter how hard I tried. I've tried all manner of hardware for both gaming and development, but IntelliMouse + Comfort Curve keyboards just do it for me in a way nothing else can. The mouse I settled on with the most similar cursor feel to it is actually a Gigabyte mouse right now which I like, but I'm excited to see they rereleased the IntelliMouse! I'll have to give it a try to see if it actually is as good as I remember it or if that's just nostalgia talking.

Working on it? It's been out for I don't know how many months.
