If you want to use a custom RequestCultureProvider to customise how the applicable culture is determined for an incoming HTTP request (for example, by looking up the chosen …

This is a blog response to the question ‘How can you minimize the impact of the persistence layer on your domain models?’ posted on reddit /r/dotnet, showing how I would have implemented the solution in the purest form of OOP that is possible with C#. (Note: The implementation of the factory and persistence classes is …

Kernel modules can be passed parameters that affect how they work. The parameters accepted by a module can be identified with the command modinfo. In the example below …

On my laptop I use a Bluetooth keyboard and a Bluetooth mouse. Occasionally the Bluetooth adapter in the laptop shuts off completely, which means that it is not even possible to restart the Bluetooth service with sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service.

As a fun way to improve my C, I started programming the Arduino using Atmel Studio instead of the friendlier Arduino IDE. Below is my very first program. It blinks a red LED and a white LED according to a preset pattern. #define F_CPU 16000000UL #include <avr/io.h> #include <util/delay.h> struct Led { int pin; int …
We use smtpop.dll in one application to retrieve email from a POP3 mailbox. Today we had to connect to a mailbox over SSL, which smtpop.dll cannot do. Our code to retrieve email is in a façade class, so I expected a simple replacement of smtpop.dll with another library and calling new methods. But the tight …
