I'd certainly recommend the Pluralsight course, it goes into greater detail and shows a lot more examples. Thanks for mentioning it!

I did a talk a while back on async/await in C# for anyone interested: https://vimeo.com/191077931

I just upgraded my XPS 15 to 32GB, 2400MHz RAM. Unfortunately with the XPS 13, it seems the RAM is soldered to the motherboard. Personally I wouldn't get the XPS 13 for work, but go for the more powerful XPS 15.

Due to "InfinityEdge Display", there's no room to put it anywhere else. It does make the built in webcam rather useless, I've got an external (Logitech 920) webcam.

Look at the InfinityEdge Display here: http://www.weboo.co/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/New-Dell-XP-1...

Depends on the audience and the application. As Photoshop and AutoCad are both mentioned, I think that's the benchmark and not something like Facebook that wouldn't benefit as much from running as a desktop client.

On a side-note, didn't Facebook just release a new UWP app and didn't they regret going the HTML5 route to start with (not focusing on native apps)?

I saw a lecture from Stanford years back (2008) that talked through this, really interesting lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ8SkcUSdbU

Also, if anyone wonders, DAWG means: Directed Acyclic Word Graph

Thanks! I thought re-posting was frowned upon, no matter if the content is considered good or not. I'll check the links!

Ah yes, of course. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for the future!

Yeah, I agree. The original title was a lot more descriptive.

Compiling and running ASP.NET vNext requires Mono 4. The mono project will most likely leverage a lot from Roslyn and vise-verse.

Yeah, I can imagine that. They're probably overloaded with applications from all over the world (at any given office).

There are a lot of good tech companies in Australia! Good luck and let me know if you got any questions, I've been down here for almost 2 years on a sponsored working visa, it's lovely and not nearly as deadly as rumored :)

For what it's worth, Google has an office in Sydney (AFAIK this is where Google Maps was born).

Have you considered looking at a Working Holiday? This will allow you to stay and work in Australia for 1 year, 6 months per employer and can be extended to two years if you work on a farm for a little while. It's also easier to get a sponsored working visa (457, for 4 years) in Australia than in US.

Have a look at http://internships.com.au/ there's a bunch of good information on it!

How does Source and Steam fit together? Would it make sense to lower a potential fee for Steam exclusive games built on Source? Would it be "risky" trusting the same company with both the game engine and distribution?

It's really great seeing Source 2, Unreal Engine and Unity lowering the bar for game developers to deliver their products.

Note: This chart only includes companies that are privately held, have raised money in the past four years and have at least one venture-capital firm as an investor.

Interesting! I wrote mine in LaTeX and merging what I got from proofers got a bit difficult at times.

Congratulations on publishing your first book! Did you have to write the book in Word, or could you use something like LaTeX?

Yeah, previous post have been about the move but it hadn't been done yet.

In case you prefer video format, this is from a talk I did a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNTf680fTHE

How can Apple get away with that? I am genuine interested! Sounds pretty much like the same thing Microsoft did with Internet Explore back in the day, except they didn't force you to use their rendering engine, but shipped the OS with their browser as default?

Some funny things in there:

    switch (gamemap) {
        case 24: /* Secret level? */
		nextmap = 4;
		break;

I like buying clothes myself, so I wouldn't have someone do it for me all the time. However, I also like getting clothes as Birthday/Xmas gifts and my family knows what I like.

My shopping is 50/50 in-store and online, when I do in-store shopping I like to have my wife with me, mostly for company and to verify what I pick fits and looks good.

I did a talk a few months back going over the changes up until today, and what is coming in C# 6, this was before they decided to drop primary constructors.

He might have been that times IT Administrator? We've come a long way over these past 30 years, but think about it for a second, if you're an IT Administrator today handling all the office machines, you probably have the power to click 1 button to turn them all off? (Depending on the setup of course..) There's obviously more access rights involved today.

Doesn't answer "who" put the button in there, I'm just thinking out-loud! :)

I rather have lots of people reading my book, getting less royalty per person, than having less people reading my book getting more royalties.

I write because I want to share my ideas and point of views, not because I care about the money. It's nice though when someone pays the 5 EUR it costs, that keeps me awake with the coffee I can buy for the money.

It's been delayed.

Nice until it's shut down like every other awesome service..

Joking aside, there are tons of solutions that monitor website changes and it's a good way to monitor news!

Highly doubt it will go unnoticed since it's election year. Hopefully the media will be all over it no matter what.

From the article:

The accelerator is similar to other accelerators, but diverges a quite a bit also. Instead of cash, the “investment” is 120 000 – 250 000 SEK in SEO and online marketing. The accelerator will also take 12% in company equity

250 000 SEK = ~$36 500 USD

Yeah, I'm sorry I completely missed the link to that.

Regarding linking, did they require linking or just content that talks about the product?
