mikescandy··on Google details new 24-hour process to sideload unverified Android apps

If I understand correctly, the 24 hour wait is a one off. After the sideloading feature is enabled, it should stay on.

mikescandy··on Visual Basic 6 rebuilt in C# – complete with form designer and IDE in browser

You completely missed the fact that this is built using Avalonia, which means that you can run this on desktop (win, linux, osx), mobile (android or ios) AND browser (using wasm) with almost the same codebase. check https://github.com/BAndysc/AvaloniaVisualBasic6, and feel free to try the desktop ones.

Watch Scott Hanselman helping out a guy setting up a Windows/WSL/VsCode development environment. During the process they go through a lot of subtle things related to Windows, terminal, WSL and vscode. Quite impressing.

mikescandy··on Growing Ubuntu for Cloud and IoT, Rather Than Phone and Convergence

They tried phone convergence (continuum, the one core across devices), but the real focus is now cloud and services. Also, the fact that Microsoft ships Ubuntu as the Linux on Windows subsystem definitely shows an alignment on the companies' plans.

that was quick.

mikescandy··on Dear Skype/Microsoft: Problems with Linux client

I guess the userbase is not worth investing. (As a Windows phone user, this is something I hear quite often)

mikescandy··on Why C# Is Not My Favorite Programming Language

that was my same feeling. I'm a C# developer, and even though I consider myself a decent dev, I never thought of C# as a toy language. I guess I'm not that good.
