Millenials (people born after 1980 and before 2000) are defined as : lazy entitled unattached not motivated by money want more holidays more horseshit The point of this post is to share a truth more and more commonly agreed upon: Millenials are not real. “Millennials” as a concept is mainly a huge pile of crap. And I just stumbled upon wonderful talk by Adam Conover, and I think he made the point pretty brilliantly so please what the talk..

Painting in Progress - from imagination As I return to the painting on my easel, reworking both the major figures and probably everything else as well, I am put to mind of a lesson by a former teacher, Carol Pylant . She told me to be paint over the edges of my foreground figures when working on backgrounds, so the backgrounds don’t get too “stiff.” Of course, this applies not just to edges. “If you painted it once, you can paint it ....

Visual Studio 2017 just received an update ( version 15.2 ). Among other nice things, this update brings full support for Python back into the official release of VS2017.

I just upgraded my copy of Visual Studio, added the Python Development Workload to it via the VS Installer, and finally (and very hap..

I've recently started using a VPN all the time (at least as much as possible). My more tinfoily nerd friends all recommended PIA so I signed up for that. There are some issues and frustrations I wasn't expecting so here's what I've seen so far. Extra-annoying captchas from ReCaptcha. It seems being on a VPN exit IP automatically classifies you for the most-frustrating setting of ReCaptcha. I've seen this even on PIA's own tech support f....

I have been upgrading a few projects from their original PCL profiles (now deemed obsolete) to the Net Standard platform specification. It turned out to be a relatively straightforward process, but it does have its small hurdles, especially so if in the meantime you also want to transition to the new, streamlined, .csproj format as the migration will leave you with a now obsolete project.json project. In this article, I will cover upgradi..

Let’s start by looking at the two remotes: Two different "remotes". The one on the left operates a television, and the one on the right controls a central heating and cooling system. At first glance you will notice that one of these remotes is dark, and the other is light. Yo..
