C# 6.0 Features
   C# 6.0 has been officially released along with the Roslyn compiler platform. I feel it is my duty to inform the world of my opinion on the topic as undoubtedly millions are interested to learn what they should think about it. Adopting mine is the easiest way to have a correct opinion...

Discrediting Questions about the Next Number in a Series with the Lagrange Polynomial

Discrediting Questions about the Next Number in a Series with the Lagrange Polynomial
   For quite some time I have been annoyed by the kind of IQ test questions where you are given a series of numbers, quite often without any explanation and are expected to provide the following number in the series. These are the type of questions I fail most often on IQ tests and maybe this is the reason I hate them so much. I can accept that I am stupid but I cannot accept people claiming that these are Math problems. This is not simply not Math. This is anti-Math...

Sir Terry Walks with Death

Terry Pratchett death tweet

    Sir Terry met with Death today. This was announced on his Twitter in a typical Discworld fashion (see above). Of course we knew this would happen as he was fighting Alzheimer's disease for almost a decade. He is my favorite author and I am sad that he is gone but at the same time I smile all the time to all the clever ways his fans apply quotes from his books to the event.

I ATEN'T DEAD - a placard Granny Weatherwax puts on her body when she possesses animals to avoid accidents.

Don't think of it as dying, said Death. Think of it as leaving early to avoid the rush.*

...and many others. I guess it helps that he has the Death character in his books.

    Now that the greatest wizzard of literature is dead I wonder if the morons composing school curriculum for literature classes will dare to include him. They manage to suck the fun of reading every book but I believe that Terry is even more powerful than them. Go ahead put him in the textbooks and write endless analyses I dare you!


* - fun fact that may not be known to people who read Terry Pratchett in Bulgarian - Death speaks in caps but he still uses bigger letters where appropriate

Wolfenstein: The New Order печели наградата "Игра на годината според Stilgar" 2014

Wolfenstein: The New Order печели наградата "Игра на годината според Stilgar" 2014
   Всяка година малка част от гейм разработчиците с нетърпение очакват да разберат кой ще е носител на най-престижната награда в бранша - "Игра на годината според Stilgar". Групата на чакащите е малка защото за всички е ясно, че най-престижната награда е достижима само за много качествени игри, а гейм разработчиците не са идиоти и много добре знаят, че повечето неща, които са произвели нямат шанс да се класират. Така и така закъснях с наградата двайсетина дена, така че на въпроса...

Implementing IDisposable on Types which Own an IDisposable

Implementing IDisposable on Types which Own an IDisposable
   Implementing IDisposable is a subject discussed so many times that it is highly unlikely I have anything to add that is not common knowledge. However checking the whole first page of Google results did not yield any article that mentions how to implement IDisposable on objects that own an IDisposable object. While the actual code is simple I have seen people forget to implement it or use the unnecessarily heavy Disposable pattern to implement it. But first…
