Re:Google Calendar should prevent spam by default on Thursday February 22, 2018 @05:56PM (#16442342)

Unless I'm mistaken, I really don't believe it's an issue with the spec. There's nothing in iCal (RFC 5545) that says you have to take iCal objects attached to emails and automatically include them in the calendar. In fact, iCal servers are simply configured to accept the xml requests and distribute a list of VEVENT objects (among others) for display. They aren't inherently connected to a working inbox.

My guess is they have loose rules around auto-adding iCal attachments detected in IMAP/Mime messages. It's notoriously difficult to get email and calendars working. There's a reason ActiveSync is so damn expensive.

That is currently an Apple issue. iOS projects have to be compiled on Apple hardware.

Visual Studio 2017 RC announced by Nat Friedman. (CEO of Xamarin prior to acquisition).

e: kinda surprised its the mobile group who's announcing RC for VS as a whole

It has to be right? Why would Github be so inclined to lean towards Microsoft over Facebook.

e: just doesn't follow that they have enough of a vested interest in msft to be deceptive.

Thats what this move is. VS for Mac is a rebranded Xamarin Studio.

Re:Visual Studio for Mac on Monday November 14, 2016 @03:43PM (#12953160)

Visual Studio for Mac is a re-brand of Xamarin Studio. However, perhaps more importantly than the software itself, opening the Visual Studio brand to the mac environment signals Microsoft's commitment, yet again, to meeting developers in their chosen environment. Xamarin Studio is also based on MonoDevelop, so maybe this could accelerate a VS linux port, if they're so inclined.
