Some notes for my link archive.
A long time ago, I asked [Wayback/Archive] c# – Console application using Clipboard.GetFileDropList: how to check if that came from a cut or copy operation? – Stack Overflow.
Back then, the use case had disappeared, so I didn’t follow up. But a new use case might appear soon, so here it goes:

[WayBack] Mad With PowerShell: FileInfo and DirectoryInfo objects are not populated upon creation in PowerShell.
TL;DR:
- Apart from the
FullName property, the other poprerties of FileInfo and DirectoryInfo are populated later than their instance creation
- A call to their
Refresh method populates or re-populates them
- That method is implicitly called when you request other properties than
FullName
Example: see the [Archive.is]fileinfo.cs: Length property

By now this
should be out of [WayBack] Draft – .NET Glossary Diagram – Scott Hanselman: a list of common terms to describe various parts of the .NET ecosystem.
He has a nice list of sentences where each term is used.
I’ll try to use them myself as well, so I gave it a start at paulcbetts/refit: The automatic type-safe REST library for Xamarin and .NET.

Ah, C. The best lingua franca we have… because we have no other lingua francas. Linguae franca. Surgeons general? C is fairly old — 44 years, now! — and comes from a time when there were possibly more architectures than programming languages. It works well for what it is, and what it is is a relatively simple layer of indirection atop assembly. Alas, the popularity of C has led to a number of programming languages’ taking significant cues from its design, and parts of its design are… slightly questionable. I’ve gone through some common features that probably should’ve stayed in C and my justification for saying so. The features are listed in rough order from (I hope) least to most controversial. The idea is that C fans will give up when I call it “weakly typed” and not even get to the part where I rag on braces. Wait, crap, I gave it away.
Great re-read towards the end of the year: [WayBack] Let’s stop copying C / fuzzy notepad
