We are about to launch a new .NET core service and I've been working with .NET core for about 2 years now. Not only is Linux not a second class citizen (it is the easiest platform to run on and scale), but dropping support would make no sense from a business or technical standpoint. Microsoft is making a ton of money by supporting cross platform.

We aren't using SQL Server, but I've used most of the big RDBMS and SQL Server is the best. It just tends to be more expensive.

So far it has been anything but a "pain".

This has been my experience as well. JetBrains Rider on my mac is nice. I prefer it to VSCode. I'd recommend it if you can afford it.

.net core is definitely better than .net framework in regards to nuget issues in my experience.

FWIW, I live in east midtown and someone here is keeping chickens because I hear a rooster most mornings.

A common problem for everyone, i'm sure.

"I come from a C # background, this is my first Silverlight project, but I'm new to Windows."

Now that is comedy!

Maybe jQuery will help? https://stackroboflow.com/#!/question/11261

I got a surprisingly comprehensible (and similarly recursive) ListView question: https://stackroboflow.com/#!/question/15327.

Sounds like jumpstarting your userbase would be easy, once you allow users to define other users :)

Well, so is Richard Lewis.

"His arms wide.."

Perhaps in the mind of the crows, they are giving gifts as a reward. In effect, training the human (in the article).

That is mind-blowing, and makes me want to reevaluate the concept of gift giving.

There's a famous quote attributed to the Inuit that Marcel Mauss mentions in The Gift: "Gifts make slaves like whips make dogs." Both halves of that statement are provocative.

So can we consider our paychecks to be gifts then?

That robot would make a good pro footballer.
