It has been about two weeks since we shipped .NET Core / ASP.NET Core 1.0. The team has used the past two weeks to take a deep breath, and is now getting started on planning what is coming next. Now that the "small, lightweight" version is launched, time to start shoveling stuff into it.

In a recent survey, Gartner found what early adopters already know: The cloud is changing IT careers in a big way. You know someone will kick you off their cloud sometime

Orleans is a framework that provides a straightforward approach to building distributed high-scale computing applications, without the need to learn and apply complex concurrency or other scaling patterns. It was created by Microsoft Research and designed for use in the cloud. Now you too can take a little trip along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip.

This is actually a pretty amazing bit of technology - basically bringing event sourcing (CQRS) into the .NET framework (and in the process making my efforts over the last 3 years largely redundant ) - but the rainbow projecting unicorns write-up doesn't really help their cause.

Microsoft isn't going to make its self-imposed deadline of having Windows 10 installed on 1 billion devices by mid-2018, company officials have conceded. Shocked. I'm completely shocked.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Stack Overflow alternatives
Code Project
CodeProject is a similar site to Stack Overflow with developer queries as well as a ‘quick answers’ section for questions that get asked on a regular basis. However Code Project differs in the fact that it also has an extensive range of articles as well as a discussion area. It is said that a lot of the content on CodeProject focuses on Windows programming.
The only reason this post[^] is newsworthy is because of the above quote.

The culture is definitely different here.

Forgive me saying so but having been around for 30 years I have noticed inflation here on CP (quality of articles deteriorated with exceptions) and battle on SO for getting points. I used to contribute heavily to Experts Exchange in the past and learned a lot helping other people there. I do see a pyramid with a few experienced and knowledgeable individuals at the top and a bulk of wannabees under that. Once again, forgive me saying so.

I tried both, and while here I was able to give in SO I stuck because I have no the points to answer/opinion...
SO also has no articles - a big problem with me...

The number of good authors is limited; the more authors you have, the lower the average quality will be. The alternative to allowing poor authors to write is to allow articles only by invitation or after peer review. IMO, these would be cures worse than the disease:
- CP would need a cadre of experts on tap to review articles for accuracy prior to publication.
- CP would need a cadre of reviewers to bestow the (coveted?) rank of "expert" on writers.
I don't see how this would be possible without increasing the CP staff way beyond its current size, possibly turning CP into a paid site.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Also consider that a poor article for you, maybe the exact savior for other (less experienced/ talented) member...

We don't really need a team of experts, though. We already have the ability to write our own articles as alternatives to others, start comments and discussions, make suggestions/edits, articles are reviewed by the community before going live, private messages, blogs, etc. And in most cases, moderators will tell you what is wrong with your article before approving changes.
Still, more accurate than Wikipedia and much friendlier than SO. The SO community can be vicious and, sometimes, for no reason. Never had that issue on CP.

I've seen newbies ask for input on their formatting and naming conventions, only to be shot down by Sergey, because he thought it wasn't appropriate (the thread was closed). So this site has a little bit of SO going on behind the scenes. Sad.

But SA is one of a million - and everyone! can report him, regardless of rep points... (actually he got sacked two times already in past)...

I recall a few votes helping him out, so still in the small numbers, but more than just one guy. Glad to hear your reply, though. Have an upvote.

Because this thread has attracted low quality answers (i.e. ones that weren't written by this particular moderator or any of his chums and may give valuable SO reputation points to people who aren't in the club) it is now closed for further comment.
Seriously, SO - valuable resource as it is - spends so much time gazing at its own navel that it gets embarrassing. Don't discuss that here, let's take-it outside to META and have a proper fight! There's a two word quote without a link to a source - SOMEONE MUST DIE FOR THIS! OMG! The sky's going to fall on our heads! Thou shalt not suffer a newbie to live ...

I posted a question on SO last year that got downvoted before it has solicited a single response. Apparently my QUESTION was poor quality
For this reason I have little to do with SO. Unfortunately it has emigrated miles and miles away from where it started. It's now very much an elitist club where only rock star devs and coding ninjas go to have hang out whilst they tell each other how awesome they are
