Look at all those brackets!
I encountered this when reading this blog ("http://blog.3d-logic.com/2014/12/08/c-async-development-not-only-for-for-c-developers-part-i-lambda-functions/").
It's a C++ lambda function and equivalent to this C# code:

No matter what I do my Google Chrome browser doesn't seem to recognize it and change the language of the navigational links.
As an example, I had my settings before in Chrome for my languages set to English and Filipino, the Philippines' native language.

The idea, if I can paraphrase Uncle Bob, is to leave the code better than when we found them.

We're always on the lookout for things that can help us speed up our work, to give us those extra seconds of performance boost. And one thing that's been a challenge to us is the fact that our processors may be really fast but the bottleneckUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34376226.post-32488637628272343282009-11-10T01:59:00.002+08:002010-09-28T17:00:08.593+08:00Getting dizzy using the Spec Explorer Modelling GuidanceWhile creating a sample Spec Explorer application, you have this feeling of being lost. The thing is if you follow the steps of the Modeling Guidance (using the "Author a model from scratch" option), you'll soon get lost since the steps and the sample code are not consistent and continuous.
For example, in Step 1, you have this code in the Example section:

While I was playing around with Spec Explorer and I hit this error:
After this, very simple IDE operations like Copy/Paste are not working. I have to restart Visual Studio 20101 Beta 2. It's getting a little bit frustrating.
And the thing is, once the above error was encountered you have to close Visual Studio 2010 using the Task Manager since closing it using it's own window is of no useUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34376226.post-51128779946547248842009-10-25T01:06:00.006+08:002010-09-28T17:03:16.682+08:00Missing "ADO.NET Entity Data Model" Template in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 Ultimate EditionWhen I installed the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 Ultimate edition, I wanted to know how the ADO.NET Entity Data Model can make me forget my good experience with LINQ To SQL.
