But why won't they just work on a separate branch still sitting against the main git repo? So long as the internet is up it offers the same thing basically.
If they work at the same company, yes. It’s often (always) easier to use the central repo than to figure out connectivity or send patch files.
But if they’re in different companies, and there is no central repo visible/accessible for both devs, then yes the D in DVCS is definitely appreciated.
I have something of a young name which is also uncommon, not many people over 30 with it, when I was young I googled my full name and got only one result, today when I google myself I find a ton of people who are usually my age or younger.
There aren't a lot of people who are using my email, one is an older folk who uses it, and I always mean to contact him, and one was a DJ which accidentally used my email address instead of his.
People always say that good typography beats everything but I have yet to see anyone explain typography more than the "use serifs for this and use sans serifs for that".
* The longer the line the more space between lines
* Do not to mix font families
* Do not use fancy fonts
* You should probably give things more space around
* Use left aligned text, not justified
Of course, such rules are too simple. They have exception, implications, corollaries, and conflict with each other. Balancing this out is the art of typography.
Jason Santa Maria's new book from A Book Apart, On Web Typography, helped me as a non designer really understand good typography. I still cannot necessarily create good typography like the masters but I can now recognize it.
That's 330 ppi by my calculation. The iphone has the same pixel density and it is very much good. I don't see the reason to push 1080 pixels on my tiny 4.5 or even 5 inch phone.
I've seen a lot of talk about how far Mono has gone in recent times but not much in writing. Do you have anything about the progress that was made? Blog posts, announcements, anecdotal evedence? I'm looking for stuff to show to the team so we could consider expanding our C# development to linux too.
The BCL is such a great tool that I am sometimes baffled by other languages heavy reliance on package managers like npm or gems to get basic functionality.
It is consistent, well behaved and while not complete, it is very solid. The only complaint I have are that it has some dark corners (System.Diagnostics come to mind) and the fact that non of the classes are easily used for testing and that I have to wrap a lot of basic functionality like file system access or the TcpClient to be avle to test my classes.
