Yep, nothing to abscess over.

Who are you chitin ? I'll file that one away - it's just sick enough to require a petty-cure.

I just stumbled upon this : Services Updates | Parcelforce Worldwide[^]. Note the rules about transporting hoverboards.
"Last updated: 7:46 Wed. 7th Sep.
Hoverboards
Account customers will need prior written agreement before they can ship Hoverboards. If you are an account customers and want to ship these items can you please speak to your account manager, as we will need to assess the Watt hour rating of the Hoverboards and provide additional carriage requirements where appropriate."
Marty McFly take note. Also, you would think that they could be designed to deliver themselves

I often run into code with this comment at the top (MS stack stuff):
"This code was generated by a tool".
Q: What code, besides what I personally have created, was not written by a "tool"? [sic]

Well, that would be the part of the code that is NOT auto-generated!

Funnily enough, that's exactly the sentence that each of your colleagues used.

Most of the code I run into is either generared by a tool or a fool...wait a minute I'm the only programmer around here...

Perhaps it's meant in the Shakespearean implications (as said to Tybalt in Romeo & Juliet).
Strangely enough, it still fits the context perfectly.

Has anyone actually attempted to create a UWA (Universal Windows App)?
I am in the middle of developing one and there are lots of lessons learned.
It's not WinForm Development (of course) and it's not WPF. It's almost WPF but it isn't.
Lots of new things you have to learn for simple things like copying to clipboard so that it works on all devices.
A couple of the most interesting things I've learned is that it is very difficult to find anything on the web specifically about UWP. There's the official Microsoft stuff and then not much else.
Microsoft has large github with samples: Windows-universal-samples/Samples at master · Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples · GitHub[^]
But, I've also only found two books that even specifically cover the topic from a C# viewpoint (not including HTML5).
Universal Windows Apps with XAML and C# Unleashed Amazon.com: Books[^]
And most of the stuff in those books I find comes at it from a XAML standpoint instead of a programming / automation C# standpoint.
Anyone else trying to dev real UWA out there? Just curious. This would be a good CP poll.

That's why I decided to learn Unity 3D. I wanted to learn to create video games and was going to do so using Universal Windows but could not find many resources.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I was wondering if others had the same experience with that.
Thanks

I have the start of a blog post about writing UWA apps - the aim is I'm going to cover my journey of learning the ins and outs of it.
