I don't give a flyin rat f*ck about how you view my "unprofessional profile".

And yet you replied, nothing more needs said :zzz:

lol ... given your "unProfessional Profile" is soaked in Windows only sauce this must be a sad day in your life? But guessing one of these (profile OR this post) is the joke, as how could it take a windows jockey this long to try Win10 for the first time?

Putting people down ... sadly codeproject itself is hugely big on this, look at the newsletters as a start. Wasted hurtful by-lines, in place of inspirational or insightful commentary. I still read the articles as they mostly contain the original spirit of this site, the want to share/learn in an open manner that acknowledges we can all learn more. I did raise this with one of the site managers, only to receive a reply more in tune of an anonymous post. Once he had calmed down he tried to explain his newletter by lines as humour. Sadly the difference between deliberate hurt and humour appeared to have been lost. Like teachers who stay too long, sometimes the art and sensitivity is lost.

Guessing your cat also maximised the app ... by default under win10 it does not occupy the whole screen, unless you are running in tablet mode. Perhaps you need MS to take over you preferences, would appear that this small decision is beyond your reach ... time for the pussy to take over, pussy whipped much?

The concept has been announced, but still in development and thus may not arrive. Planning currently has it being Intel based, and following the ideal of being a laptop on a phone. Form scale adopts, and (like the full surface) it supports 3 monitors when docked, an extension to the current Continuum model. Look into the div previews of their bridge environments for examples (bridges are this current phase of mixing win10, ios and [was-to-be] android apps). All subject to viability - and the halt on current phone push is to prevent backlash ... if you believe the spin :) ... could also be as simply as they are not selling, lol

The community articles are worth while ... it is the new letter which sucks. The person compiling the newsletter is obviously too lazy to look at the contents worth, and instead just makes snide comments ... cheap and boring :zzz: And funnier still is the way in which codeproject continues to collect revenue from add space for those very same companies it attempts to ridicule ... cheap, boring and obviously willing to sell its own beliefs for a few cents. Easier to ignore rather than taint actual contributors.

So generous of you - and given the endorsement how could I refuse. Can see by the sentiment of the reply I would be wasting me time doing nothing else. Keep up the fight to knock everyone else down, speaks volume.

the biggest downer

Funny stuff ... almost as funny as that "www.woutware.com[^]" web site ... site report gave up on the review, too many errors - classic. Guessing the products are lacking the same quality. And about time you implemented touch support on that site ... what century did you knock that up in, not to mention the out-of-support .Net versions you (cough) products are offered on ... and lastly iis7.0 - at least you have deployed .Net4.0 there (less security patches - lol). Happy to ignore your post on any one of the above points - troll fail ;P

Nah ... join in. Off to down vote and troll some of those articles ... how many alt accounts should I create is the only real question left.

aimed at software developers

Perhaps I am against the trend here. Rather than fight the mood should I create a number of alts and start hammering this treatment out to new articles as they come in. A snide remark her, a down vote there, a false claim about sample code not working ... aim at the heart of those developers? Follow the leader. Ah, if only developer had hearts. And trolling is way more fun/easier.

why you posted this in Insider News?

Why not - it is the forum that the "comment" link on the email takes you too. Would have rather posted it to the newsletter author, but alas that does not seem possible. Appears he/she is happy to deal it out but not able/willing to take it. Or is question from a point of "why bother"? The articles are still honest, it is just the clickbait styled newsletter which has become toxic. Time to cure the disease.

unadulterated hype is smut

How about simply report the fact ... or an unbiased statement of the articles content ? Currently codeproject is turning into a click bait bucket - and that's an ugly look.

Got the latest newletter email and it is truly depressing; The Daily Downer[^] Why the need for repetitive sarcasm on every link? When did the codeproject staff start turning out this bitch rag, looking to past posts and I can see it has been off for some time now, guess the saturation of negativity has just reached its limit - or perhaps it is just standing out as a bitter pill within Christmas joy. Only appears to be the staffers, articles have not (yet) turned - so what's changed?

And it's still broken in IE

What a stupid comment to make - did you even try or is your base instinct to claim defeat and ridicule others ... either way your next employer/customer are now forewarned.

I was going to join the constructive conversation, but sadly the current email news manager ruined that mood; WTF was the snide comment of "Not cancelling it?" required? If it was the 1 or 2 "funny" remark fine, but it is not. The whole email is littered with cynicism - well done codeproject, lets turn this site into the open warfare and bitchy comments. For the moment I will join the takers. Apologies to the OP, but had to vent my disappointment.

"I thought C# ran only in a .Net / Windows environment" ... sorry, and YOU are teaching at which University? Business does not expect teaching institutions to be fully informed of the subject matter they prescribe to qualify their students in, but something as widely known as the above is a basic expectation. Brutally honest, but a fact - and scores a fail.

Move out of granma's house ... cure your addiction to cat videos ... any pay something more for some decent ISP performance (given you install times). All the small things revealed by you rant. (and yes, there is a post category for that :) 2 xbones, a surface pro and a desktop later ... no problems myself. Not yet feeling at home with the new xbone UX, but time is my friend.

Too soon ... even in another 10 years, still too soon :thumbsdown:

You quote xaml as if you can take SL, run it under WPF, and then again under UWP - if only it was that easy. I was an early adopter/fan - but I will NOT be recommending a third rewrite. And to underline that decision once moved to UWP it will lock us in to a much smaller Win10 market. Dislike JavaScript but the one app will surface on all desktops from Win7 through 10 (and beyond Windows) ... not to mention escaping the current rewrite trap that MS has us falling into. And yes, Win8 apps "will run" provided small UI fails of charms and swipe bars (pushed in the name of metro styling) are no longer important. There are important differences between running and being part of the platform :(

hmmm ... WPF, try running xbap in the edge browser. WPF has already become the WinForms environment it was meant to replace :(. WUA ... universal only under Win8 - no Win7, no Win10 - basically a 1 hit wonder and also now burried. Silverlight ... many jumped into a great ideal, web/desktop/SharePoint apps ... and now dead. Spent time with all 3, lost credibility based off pushing these bleeding edge "futures" that got dropped after so many promises. Time to look elsewhere.
