Isn't a CTE in Postgres (unlike in MS SQL, AFAIR) also an optimization fence? Just something to keep in mind when using it as a substitute for subquery, readability vs performance …

Yup, it's a bit unfortunate, but that's how it is most of the time. I found myself using F# for core libraries with clearly defined boundaries between APIs and assemblies - IMO tha…

I'd say that ~98% (statistic pulled out of the thin air) of Single Page Applications are - in fact - Single Page Websites in your terminology. At least that's what I usually see wh…

Looks interesting... Do you actually support 'full remote' positions? I'm asking because the application system on your site has 'Permanent legal right to work in the United States…

It's something that I noticed too. I had what I think was a pretty unique opportunity to be involved in project(s) from the very beginning to the 'end' (i.e. support phase) from my…

Makes sense. I mean, I mostly work with C# and F# on the back-end, but I created my fair share of WPF apps which I vastly prefer to web front ends. I also tinker with Scala in my f…

Huh, that sounds intriguing. What 'kind' of engineer are you looking for? Any specific platforms, languages or fields of interest? I went through the site and the portfolio consist…

I figured as much. Unfortunately there's no Emit for AOT where you could do something like: https://github.com/jonwagner/Insight.Database/blob/master/In... On the other hand, I won…

Damn, thanks for pointing me in that direction. It's exactly what I've been looking for. Technically, I implemented some of that stuff myself because I needed REST client that woul…

Lately I checked the Perlin noise performance test that was linked to on reddit ( http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/31mzu1/go_vs_ru... ). Summary: Benchmark: C# (Mono) -…

AsNoTracking makes the materialization indeed faster, but EF always has a cost associated with it, both for initial use (set up of the context etc, which is noticeable) as well as …

For working with HTML (parsing, extracting), I'd like to add HtmlTypeProvider from F# Data as one of the options. :)

Even then, for query building I found EF (or any LINQ provider for SQL) to be easier solution than string concatenation. Well, at least for relatively simple queries with paginatio…

- Writing a WPF app in F# is a real pain (no partial classes, no nice MVVM framework support like Caliburn.Micro). C# is way better there. - Accessing the DB is easier in C# (just …

ADO.NET uses DBNull: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.dbnull(v=vs.1... There's one valid (if obscure) use case for it, other than that it is pretty much redundant: ht…

No problem! Happy to help :) ORMs get a lot of flak and while some of it is truly earned, the rest comes from the misuse/abuse of the tool. I always thought that using ORM function…

Even the bulkiest ORMs allow you to use raw SQL. That's why you can use 80 - 90% of the features on the regular basis and hand-tweak regions which cause performance problems or pla…

I would love to see pattern matching and at least some kind of tuple support. I don't know if it's ever going to happen in C# though... The `using` static is actually really good n…

I'd love to see some kind of typeclass support in F#... In the meantime, honest question: what are modules in OCaml? I tried to read up on it online, but my understanding of the to…

Just a quick question - if the views are set to be deprecated, what would be the way to do a (long) series of collection transformation without spawning multiple intermediate colle…
