What have they got to lose? 30% cut of app store, icloud, apple+ TV, Safari users, Maps users, Incremental Market Share. Realistically lots of people could end up preferring Linux …

I learned to program in middle school and I loved it, you couldn't tear me away from the school Commodore Pet. My kid we played with scratch for a bit and she had fun making some g…

Its pretty sad at the end of the page it talks about other resources, the first few are 2008 ish. I'd expect them to be obsolete, but is that just become the industry standard now?…

I like coffee though for the flavor, the caffeine is not the point. I'd like decaf but never found any I like and the decaf process looks pretty sketchy with lots of chemicals.

There have been rumors about the 'Sun Valley' gui refresh for months. This is from October https://www.windowscentral.com/windows-10-sun-valley-ui-octo... . Its not exactly a surpr…

Terrorist acts are only part of it though. Sure 9/11 was cheap but implementing punitive sanctions across countries hundreds officials requires an awful lot of tracking and monitor…

Has anyone seen a big - multi year system done in FP? Lots of people love FP, it seems great for your own side project, but I'm not convinced it works in those typical big corporat…

I thought Jira was slow then our team started using Service Now. Holy that is junk.

Agreed C# and Java are virtually identical. However the cultuer is completely different. The plethora of libraries to me ends up being a handicap. We have had a bunch of different …

I worked on a big distributed system with C# and windows servers. Was rock solid I miss it so much. I'm not drowning in Java/Spring/Linux app its such a horrible mess, security is …

Its Jira combined with outsourced or contract developers that only care about getting that feature added. Our app is a mess, loaded with technical debt and hugely difficult to supp…

BTC is so pointless to me. The problem is it keeps going up. It looks like its more likely to hit $100,000 before $0, so you can still make a lot of money by buying now. Which is w…

Yes I use Excel DNA, it just doesn't have the same flexibility that I can email anyone a spreadsheet file containing both code and data.

I do a lot of both. Excel really is great for data where there are less than say 100k rows. Its just so easy to see exactly what you're doing and what the data looks like. If you h…
