    In Western Europe at least, I think you would have a much better chance if you were applying for a .NET, Java, or PHP position (which given your C experience, you should be able to…

    For iOS it's being able to save things first. The ability to use the chat on iOS is a second priority for me.

    Looks great! At first glance, this appears to be the service I've been searching for. I'm currently using raindrop to bookmark items I intend to read later, but its search and reco…

    I can recommend Pop!_OS for a good out-of-the-box Linux distro for development

    I'm already seeing a lot of enterprise companies gearing-up to go all-in on Blazor. Having a single language (C#) for web, mobile and all other back-end services must be huge draw …

    How did you manage to get different scaling to work, if I may ask? That's the only thing I haven't been able to get properly working myself. I have a similar laptop screen, and 3 e…

    To be fair stuff like Design Patterns, SOLID, Domain-Driven Design etc. come up in a lot of interviews for "business application development" roles in other languages as well, espe…

    Not a PHP developer myself, but in my area most web development is still done in PHP. The modern PHP language is a lot like any other high level language now, but the main attracti…

    Off-topic but thanks for the tip on Seveneves! Never heard of the book before, but looking it up seems like my cup of tea :)

    Oh, you're right. I overlooked that last paragraph.

    I'm sorry that you feel that way. I was already aware of the fact that it was both half a film, and that the second part wasn't green-lit yet. Despite of this, the film completely …

    I'll rather do it on Denis Villeneuve's behalf, who I regard as one of the best filmmakers of the current era. I couldn't care less about Warner/HBO.

    George R.R. Martin also wrote his books on a DOS machine running WordStar 4.0

    It's fantastic. Go see it in Imax if you can. Going to the theaters will help to get part 2 made.

    Give it another decade or so, and I can see Lucasfilm/Disney making full feature films starring only deepfake 'clones' of the original trilogy characters in their younger/O.T. form…

    ASP.NET Web Forms + Telerik components always came really close for me for web apps. And to lesser extend Xamarin Forms for mobile as well.

    Me too :) I'm not Danish but that movie holds a strange fascination for me.

    Fair enough. I had the same feeling with older tablets that I owned (early iPad's and Samsung Android tablets), but the iPad Pro did hit a sweet spot for me.

    I own a 2018 iPad Pro, and it's possibly the best & most versatile device I've ever owned. Among the things I use it for are: surfing the web whilst on the couch, checking in on my…

    It's not just 'simple CRUD apps' vs 'advanced apps', I find it's also language/ecosystem specific. I've worked on Java and .NET projects (typed languages) where ORM's are a fact of…

    I disagree. I use it daily as my tool to manage data in MySQL, Postgress, Sql server and Db2 databases, and it's probably one of my favorite JetBrains tools. As a Linux user there …

    Tip: install Pop!_OS - Nvidia edition. I also have a (1st gen) Thinkpad X1 Extreme with a 4K screen. In addition to that, I have 3 external 4K screens connected to it (so 4x 4K scr…
