You're missing the point of `await`. Await does change how your program is structured, unless we're talking about most trivial cases. You can use `await` inside a `for` loop—can you do the…

This sounds sweet. In my book, C# designers have a history of striking a good balance between simplicity and flexibility. This however always leaves me eager to look at Haskell/ClojureScript/…

Thanks for taking time! I still don't agree though, I edited my post as well to explain why I think this is exactly the moment you need to tweak the language, and not the libraries. (And this is …

This is a nonsensical comment, and I voted it down. The same point can be made about any time languages got a level higher. This kind of rejection of powerful in favor of complex-but-familiar is preci…

There is some creative use of C# async/await in this blogpost: http://praeclarum.org/post/45277337108/await-in-the-land-of-... Basically, the author implements a “first…

I'm curious; how did you know that? Edit: Ah, of course it's in the source.

This is precisely the point Rebert Pirsig explores in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. You should read it if you find this to be curious.

“But most servers do support it, this seems to be a mechanism for routing around administrative issues in organizations.” Spot on.

It's kinda intuitive, but I'm pretty sure it's wrong. Imagine you fall in coma and sleep long enough that all your body cells have been changed. Do you wake up a different person? I don…

Thanks, I didn't mean to imply this. I edited the post.

UPD: Ilya is in coma with no brain activity, but not dead yet. ( http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&pre... ) -- Ilya was very vocal about his contempt …

Being gay isn't illegal in Russia, “gay propaganda” is. This doesn't make the law less absurd.

You can't drag the title, but you can drag the icon.

Well, this brought me here.

There's really no point to porting some parts.

I love Xamarin's support and devs. The devs are extremely friendly. The tools are getting better with each release. Kudos to Miguel, Nat, Rolf, Seb and other folks I don't know :-)

Let us not forget the human. An additional benefit of refactoring is you are going to feel better motivated, which may help you produce better work in next few days. So will anyone maintaining your co…

Care to elaborate? It probably lacks punctuation characters, case-insensitiveness and RemoveEmptyItems option, but is there anything else missing?

A Russian cafe Ziferblat has been doing just that in Russia for two years already. The model was pioneered by a very passionate and modest guy called Vanya Mitin. Actually, the article mentions it: &g…

A UI designer I know has been using Sketch for months now, and he's very happy about it.

>Second, while I do a lot of branching in Git, that has nothing to do with the branch selector on the Github UI. My thoughts exactly.

I'm not at all sure it's legal but it has been trivial to view decompiled source code for any .NET class with tools like Reflector for years. If you need to see how it's done, you will …

My first thought was Aberforth.

I doubt name makes a bigger difference than usefulness.

I think he means commercial use in closed-source projects. So it's not v2 vs v3, but GPL vs Apache or MIT.

At least in OS X, you can type Ć by holding C and pressing 2: http://i.imgur.com/6xCSVW5.png

It's already there in Mavericks by the way.
