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 and all that :)

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 that's where the language shines right now. You

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 when various companies are using Angular (or Ember,

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.' listed as one of the requirement

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 early working days - since my very first yea

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 free time, but I don't really know much about the JVM ec

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 consists of multiple (and very different) projects, so I&

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 wonder if it wouldn&#

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 would work with PCLs and be a bit 'nicer'

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) - 1052.041381 ms, Java - 5

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 every other query after that (expression tree parsing etc, n

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 pagination and stuff. For filters, Dynamic.Linq would be helpful he

- 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 select a nice micro-ORM), type providers do not always cut i

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: http://stackoverflo

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 functionality (where convenient) together with SQL (where nec

by Hakeashar 12y ago
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 places where you just have to write SQL (e.g. recursive

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 news. I have seen people who seem to be really

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 topic is still murky. Regular modules don't really

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 collections? So, essentially, equivalent of .view, transformation
