There is a similar [common][1] idiom with `using` in C#. When you need to create and later dispose several resources, to avoid excessive nesting you write using (var outFile = new StreamReader…

Yup, I have this as well. 1 is black, 2 is yellow, 3 is green, 4 is orange, and so on. It has a side-effect: it's easier to remember phone numbers because I visualize sequences of colors (239 is yello…

In my experience, it's fairly trivial to create a library binding so you can use ObjC library in C#. They even released a tool that generates bindings by header files, called ObjectiveSharpie.

I am a bit confused as to what this does. Does it allow me to chat over someone's WiFi network with another client running this software? Something else?

Congrats. Must've been a tough ride.

Born in 1992, I felt this way as well. I literally spent months playing Crash Bandicoot when I was 9-13 years old. When I finally got a computer, I realized I don't like the aesthetic of the newer gam…

I know this is silly but is SHA-1 of your StackExchange username 28a0b3fe0e151fefc417ad7d526b99d726d0f319?

I was expecting to read a criticism of the new version. (I haven't used it myself yet, and I haven't bought ST2 either—I keep using the trial version.) Instead what I got from this post is that the bu…

If I understand correctly, this corresponds to `lock` in C#: lock (_gate) { x[i] --; } At least in C# it is considered preferable to lock on a private field, as opposed to locking…

Just received it, thank you.

Um, perhaps. And what exactly does this have to do with Russian girls?

Is this meant to be sarcastic or serious?

Yup, and I found C# versions of UIKit classes more convenient to code against. Regarding your point about MonoDevelop, I won't spill the beans but Xamarin is preparing something exciting to fix IDE pr…

I think the mistake is so popular because we know how to write “ghost” and John.
