Yes sure N95s are better but they are so hard to keep on for long time for me since I wear glasses. I finally found a comfortable one made by Aegle, I think, but they seem to be out of stock everywhere.

I hate to post my own app but it does do part of what you ask and it does it locally. Nothing is sent to any server.

It does on-device text recognition on your photos, stores on local SQLite database and lets you full text search.

MS wanted to buy Xamarin way back. Xamarin held back. I remember some comment to this effect from Miguel. Now that .Net Core looks awesome and will work with LLVM backend. Wouldn't it just another step for MS to create what Xamarin's core product is. I think Xamarin realized this and gave in. their IPO dream shattered.

rdio is using the xamarin tools for ios and android.

mvc + mono website on linux success story - i haven't seen one.

I don't know guys, I just picked up dell venue 8 pro. this thing is nice. the whole Metro things works really well and it is fast and smooth. The quality of games/apps I am seeing is already better than my kid's Nexus 7 (long way from ipad tho). If they market this thing right, I can see it(windows tablets in general) gain some hold in pure tablet world.

isn't .ToList() part of linq too. technically the first solution is also using Linq. would be interesting to make them implement sort algorithm too.

text.Split(' ').Where(x=>!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(x)).GroupBy(x => x).Select(x => new { word = x.Key, count = x.Count() }).OrderByDescending(x => x.count).Select(x=>x.word).Take(10).ToArray();

MSDN subscription(for work) comes with Azure hours. I can run 6 768MB linux VPS for free. sure I will use MS.

Someone told me that is a mis-quote, Henry ford never said that. But it is a perfect mis-quote.

it worked perfectly for me on digitalocean

Fantastic customer service experience. Apple,Amex and costco should get together and make it all about customers instead of about shareholders.

How can this be sustainable? all this fragmentation/versions - iOS new >=7 and <7, all different versions of android, windows 8 metro etc etc. how many different platform specific versions are these service providers like say pandora suppose to create?

I feel like unless the app is taking advantage of some inherent hardware capability of the phone/tablet everything should eventually be HTML5.

being very heavy excel keyboard shortcut user, assumed it wouldn't be the same in mac. never tried it.

Having worked in nyc financial world, I can say excel is here to stay - at least for foreseeable future. Heck, the only reason I have windows running in parallel in my MBA is excel. We use to have what we called "excel test" for all quants and analyst positions. We use to QA our excel sheets just like any other software application. I am surprised that many companies don't do that - it only makes sense.

thanks, works perfectly.

Good to know

if you think devs working on these framework don't understand client side javascript/HTML framework on its own and need to be explained for their particular framework, may be they outta be not writing code at all.

Also, another thing that bothers me about MS is that they hide so much real HTML/javascript from devs with visual basic like facade called webforms that MS devs don't get into a new platform unless they see a document like "Angular js for .net" title.

Who cares what the backed is, as long as you are getting data using xhr, angular js and HTML is same.

these valuations just don't make any sense.

"AngularJS For .Net Developers"

I don't get that. Is HTML different in Microsoft world?

IT/developer scene in big NYC banks is even worse. People with no experience faking up resume get business analyst/QA position cramming some basic skills in few weeks and they are paid $55/hr for doing nothing. This cannot last, can it?

very cool. will try it out tonight.

I just don't get this app. There are thousand alternatives cheaper or free.

i agree. at first, didn't even realize it is translation.
