DevExpress supported WinUI for a little while but decided to abandon support.

One of the biggest problems with WinUI compared to WPF is that DependencyProroperty is implemented as native code, so for .NET developers, there is a huge performance penalty getting or setting any property on control.

In majority of cases drugs simply fail due to issues with solubility and absorption, not metabolism.

Foxconn is Taiwanese.

Visual Studio had a built-in migration utility which could get you 80-90% there. However if the original VB6 was spaghetti code written without Option Strict and Option Explicit enabled you had much bigger problems.

The biggest breaking change was the removal of the global Printer Object so any printing code needed a complete rewrite.

Microsoft used to distribute source code for a WordPad sample app with Visual Studio.

Aspartame is arguably the safest artificial sweetener. It's made of two naturally occurring amino acids and it's rapidly destroyed by the acidity of the digestive system.

The bundling of .NET Framework with Windows held back C# for many years because it tied its support lifecycle to that of Windows.

The runtime changes needed to improve the language could not be made easily due to the need to support it for 10+ years.

I thought it was amusing that California has a Horseless Carriage license plate. Doesn't that just mean it's a car?

AMD probably decided that their transistor budget was better spent elsewhere.

It's Polish Notation actually.

Excel even had its own custom C compiler.

I use a gaming mouse and assign common shortcuts to the extra buttons.

One nice advantage of mac os is the built-in Dvorak-Qwerty layout which retains Qwerty shortcuts. You need an AHK script to achieve the same result on Windows.

I believe it's a myth. It was most likely due to efficiency and cost reasons. Black was cheaper than other pigments and was less likely to show imperfections.

Acetone is not considered to be a VOC.

Mazda Soul Red is what's called a "Candy Color“. It's achieved with a translucent red layer applied over a base color layer. It's rare for an OEM to offer a color like this because the thickness the coating is applied changes the color and It's much more difficult to achieve a consistent color.

Silicone has very low surface tension, imagine water on a non stick pan. If paint encounters a droplet of silicone it will shrink back on itself and form a hole around the contamination.

Many TV stations would reuse tapes leading to many shows getting lost as well. The BBC routinely deleted content until it changed its archiving policy in 1978. Until then thousands of hours of programming in all genres was deleted.

Smaller biotechnology don't compete with big pharma they collaborate and partner with them every step of the way. They need companies like Pfizer which have the resources and expertise to fund more R&D, complete clinical trials and get drugs approved world wide.

I think they mean ReactOS.

Isn't this a Nintendo trademark?

It's interesting that he argued the case for only having heap allocated objects in Delphi considering C# has stack allocated stucts.

The hardest part of learning dvorak is losing the ability to type Crtl + C, Crtl + V with one hand.

I recommend getting a gaming mouse were you can remap hot keys to spare buttons.

>For example, there is nothing (official) comparable to javadoc for C#.

I'm not too familiar with Java but DotFX is an official project that builds a static HTML website from your source code comments.

Government programs need to be able to negotiate drug prices to get a fair deal before subsidising them.

Whenever a trade deal comes up between the US and Australia, they always want to kill our PBS system that negotiates lower drug prices with pharmaceutical companies.

They don't add methanol. You can check this easily by looking up a Safety Data Sheet. They will add a bittering agent to make it extremely unpalatable.

3 weeks of outdoor exposure means absolutely nothing. The minimum for most paint manufacturers is at least 2 years in a sub tropical area like Florida.

With the amount of pigment they used to achieve that level of whiteness there is gonna be no was to clean this without damaging the coating.

I read the abstract of their paper and I can tell that the paint they created will be completely useless in the real world. No paint company would be interested in this.

They used a 60% volume concentration of barium sulfate. This is very high for an exterior paint and pretty much guarantees that it will have a very poor mechanical durability. The high amount of pigment with make the paint matt and attract dirt easily. Barium sulfate doesn't absorb UV so the paint will be degraded by UV easily.
