Remember to tell w32tm to reload the configuration too.

My guess is that it was created because of Windows Phone 10. But it's not a feature I'd like even on my phone.

Funny thing is that it does refuse to change the time when the delta is large. So it trusts these random bytes in the TLS handshake blindly, but when it gets the correct time from the time server some seconds later, it doesn't dare to change the time as the delta is too large!

It's easy to turn off the feature, and its described in their original blog post. The article doesn't mention it directly though.

I'm Norwegian too, and remember watching it on a Swedish broadcasting channel when I was a kid. We had two channels, the Norwegian state funded broadcasting channel, and the Swedish state funded broadcasting channel. Good times!

> Jesus almighty that is a lot of licenses. No wonder MIT has just become the unquestioned default.

This is a specific thing per ecosystem/community. Some use a lot of MIT, some Apache, some BSD, some LGPL, some Boost and so on.

I suspect a lot of this is due to the viral nature of licenses. What license is compatible with MIT? MIT obviously, so let's just choose that :)

Really inspiring! Nicely structured, and easy to follow along, especially with the "Try it yourself" links. Amazingly addictive to tweak with variables :)

A nice and clear explanation of why tail recursion is necessary and how it works. I usually don't like mathy examples, but it worked fine here. I especially liked the section on trampolines as I didn't know how transpilers usually did that. Well worth the read.

This doesn't sound good at all. On the flipside, I've heard and read several people who say Xamarin has been a critical part of their success and like the ecosystem and libraries.

Three years in IT is a long time, so maybe things have changed? I would love to hear other experience reports too.

PS: "Indian code farm developrs (...) low quality garbage (...)" is a gross simplification and generalization which further strengthen negative stereotypes. I advice a different wording to avoid feeding trolls and haters.

Any why are christmas trees green?

> What is the size of a minimal Fabulous app?

Agree this is interesting. Historically, Mono-applications on mobile was at least 10x bigger than Java application as they included the entire runtime system.

Can the runtime system be shared now? Is .NET Core a thing on mobile, and is the resulting download smaller?

While download size is no longer a problem for me, my guess is it is still a big problem many places in the world.

And it also contains lots of other symbols (non-emojis) easily accessible! How could I not know about this! Thanks.
