Are they? Just about every article I see on cloud provider market share places AWS first, followed by Azure, and then Google is a fairly distant third.
MS is also attributing a huge chunk of its growth as of late to Azure and related services.

If you are going to rank an article as 1 then please have the nerve to say why.

I personnaly did not cast any vote to your article (I suppose here you are talking about the Bowling scores one). However, I flagged it as a "wrong type" because, imho, you do not explain anything about your implementation. It consists only of a brief introduction, three screenshots, a "How to use the code" section, and short "History" and "License" sections.
I suspect the persons who have voted 1 have the feeling that your article is way below their expectations of a CP article. Maybe if you would mind putting a little more efforts on the "Implementation" part, then these people may modify their votes accordingly.
Anyway, I would say chilling a bit would not do any harm to anyone

What do you expect. The article discusses the iterative nature of scoring a game of bowling. The algorithm is posted. There is not much more to the code than the scoring algorithm which is posted in plain text.

That's probably why it got a one vote: it's a poor article.
That doesn't mean it's a poor app, just that as an article it's - frankly - barely a tip.
Quite how that got through moderation I'm not sure ... I would have voted "wrong type" on it myself if I'd seen it in the queue.

I am working on the details. I appreciate the real devs coming out of the woodwork to call me out and say "hey, you can do better". It is on the way; complete with code and explanations. My normal articles have been well received so this is an eye opener.

Hopefully someone can change it, or Elsa he might have a stroke.

No idea what this is about, but you deserve a 1 if you are blatantly copying someones code (plagiarism) or when you're simply dumping code without explanation. If you visibly put some effort in it, it becomes a 2 quite quickly; after all, with some work it will be "decent" (3).
..so, I'm interested enough to look at the article and it does seem like a code-dump. If it is less than a page worth of text, it is more of a tip than an article. Your profile says under articles "Legend". I can't look at the code with your eyes, I have no idea why it is like it is.
It may be great code, but I'm not going to play the archaeologist and dig into it based on a few lines. As much as I dislike marketing, you're doing a lousy job at displaying your idea. Hide it for a few weeks, take some comments from the editors, and answer those questions in your article - don't just dump your idea or solution, explain how you got there.

Thanks. The devil is in the details. It is up to me to do the details and it is up to you to be the devil.

The site also asks for a comment if one votes with a one (as it does with a five); while I appreciate a five without comment, I can not appreciate a 1 vote without explanation. I hope you haven't seen many of those.
I don't know where most of our users' read, but I'm often found on the toilet. A code-example and a screenshot with some answers to some common pitfalls, and I'm sold. At that point it is no longer a code-dump I need to explore, but someone sharing experience

Thanks for that. LOL, you guys are teaching me patience.
I updated the article to include all those missing things like code and an explanation.
Cheers!

Looking at the C++/MFC code, all I can say is, OMG, C#/.NET is a vast improvement.

Oh the irony. Last year a radio station asked the following question and gave away 50000 bucks for the right answer.
Here is a link to their website, sorry, in German only: Link[^]
I heard it while driving to work. The lady they called did not know the answer. This was the question:
Quote: What was the holiday job of 17-year-old Albert Einstein at the Oktoberfest in Munich?
And the correct answer would have been:
Quote: For two weeks, Albert Einstein assisted as electrician on the Oktoberfest and screwed in hundreds of light bulbs.
Hundreds of bulbs? one Einstein? So I guess we really need relatively few Einsteins. A few thousandths Einstein per bulb.

Did you perhaps mean to post this as a reply to the thread below?

Indeed. Perhaps I should get myself some new glasses.

GitHub is for code dumps. Articles are meant to teach something. So my guess is that they felt it was insufficient to be called an article.
