Comment Re:Documentation if latin for useless paper work (Score 1) 123

With .net core, which is becoming .net 5, if the documentation is bad you can clone the source code and work out what it actually does. Then, if you are feeling charitable, clone the documentation and submit a pull request to fix it.

Or at least raise an issue against either repository pointing out the problem, hoping someone else will fix it.

An open communication channel with the developers makes a world of difference.

It sounds like this procedure doesn't make tinnitus go away, but may accelerate your ability to ignore it.

I've had tinnitus for decades. Usually I'm completely unaware of it. Like breathing or other bodily functions, I can focus on it and hear it. But even when it is noticeable in a quiet room, it's no longer annoying.

.NET is still effectively Windows only

You clearly haven't been keeping up then. .NET Core is cross platform, and the version 5 release will see it become the only version of .NET. Version 5.0 release candidates are available now, though I expect there to be a few more iterations before it is production ready.

Sure, the ".NET Desktop Runtime", including the windows forms GUI assemblies, will remain Windows only. But .NET console applications, that avoid direct system calls, should just work on linux.

The windows desktop application is dying anyway. Many people seem to be building web apps instead. It seems like the .NET team are pushing further in this direction with Blazor. Running the .NET runtime in the browser via web assembly, with a HTML UI. (I'm not saying that's a good idea, just that this is where they are heading)

Comment Re:I'm betting on Tesla (Score 1) 84

So some highways and parking lots. (but apart from that, what have the romans ever done for us).

And how many accidents have occurred while these features are enabled?

I would like to see each vehicle evaluated by the same criteria, based on the same miles driven. Though at least California is forcing companies to provide some data. Tesla isn't really participating.

Comment You don't hear about success (Score 3) 41

This is a common problem with engineering. You only hear about the problems, not the successes. Particularly if that success doesn't seem to impact the bottom line. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Though I'm sure Youtube could quantify the ad revenue from people with captions turned on, and compare that to the support burden of spam etc. Obviously they don't believe the feature is worth the support cost.
