For me, an emphasis on Go indicates that I won't have problems with cross compilation and that I'll have a static binary to run. I'm more inclined to give a tool a try when I don't have to deal with language sandboxes.

Thanks for the tip, does FluentMigrator require me to duplicate the table structure in it's DSL or does it have a way to pick up EF Core tables & detect changes? Re encryption, I was looking for a way to do automatic TLS via https

Using it for two days now on OSX for a client so I don't have much experience with it. First impressions are ok, the documentation could be better and it's not very googleable as you get a lot of irrelevant hits from normal .NET,

General answer since this is a general question. DB engine: Postgres, something more exotic (dgraph, cassandra etc) depending on use case. API layer: Microservices with grpc, write services in languages which are/will be good for each

As a foreigner in Germany, I'd add to that list bureaucracy & the German language, a duet that does little to bolster the willingness of non-native speakers founding companies here.

Simplest solution I've found is to run the devserver in a gulp task instead of using any of the pipeline/compressor projects.

I'm all for less sprawl but artificial limits like the ones you're describe would IMO only needlessly accelerate gentrification. For instance, it's very difficult to get a spot at a daycare in Munich, not because there isn&#x

It's understandable that developers aren't abandoning their current projects, but starting new ones suddenly carries the risk of developing for a platform that you have doubts that gamers will buy.

Alright, these were approximately the fields that were Postgre-fied. CREATE TABLE event ( "references" text[], (was 2 tables, references and reference_on_event) "entities" text[], (ditto) "actors&quot

Anecdotal, I migrated a sluggish multi table SQL Server setup to a single table PostgreSQL by replacing the previous EAV setup with hstore and m2m "article-tag" tables with array fields. Exactly the same functionality, only 20x fa

I was hoping some of meteor's users could answer a few questions about it. Can meteor use Postgres instead of MongoDB? Could meteor do sync with the database through a server-side rest client (instead of mongodb)? Is TDD possible? Is C

I'm pretty sure that at Jane Street you get to solve engaging problems and get paid 250K+. OCaml or not, they're not going to have problems with hiring.

I seriously doubt OCaml's benefits over Python are so great that they overweigh not being able to hire someone proficient in it.

But people need to learn things like OO and memory anyway, why not do it with a language that teaches you both? It's not like the introduction to programming in Java would have final bufferbuffers everywhere to avoid garbage collection

I went through a similar switch from MSSQL to postgres. We moved 7 applications of various sizes over and the biggest hurdle was office politics. The migration never took more than a day for each app. ETL and reporting were not affected sin

Despite the overall ecosystem being rather small, the standard library and adjoining experimental packages are excellent. I wouldn't be surprised if go 1.2's stdlib would cover most of what Python's stdlib and Twisted can do.

I'd purposely avoid drawing any lessons from Iceland. We have the world's smallest independent currency and devaluation cut our purchasing power in half.

I'd want to add that working in a windows for dev, linux for deploy environment will eventually make you constrain yourself to using libraries which work on both platforms.

I've found that CoffeeScript is great at standardizing the various styles of coding JavaScript that exist in an office.

I've mostly worked on the server side of things for the last few years but last year I decided to dip into mobile. I felt disappointed after trying MonoDevelop as I found a lot of the things I had really appreciated in server development mi

The quality of this leaves a lot to be desired* and you would be better off with using a 1.4 project from somewhere like https://github.com/xenith/django-base-template . *Hardcoded ubuntu user and hardcoded py26 and py26 paths in different

Same here. I recently upgraded a 2007 model for family member, added more RAM & a 120gb SSD. It runs faster than my 2011-pre-SSD-upgrade did. The new MBP is a fantastic machine today but I wonder whether it'll be as good in 2017 as that

That kind of framework enthusiasm doesn't really stem from the closed minded mindset I was referring to. Most Ruby & Python devs I've met would admit that Java is a much better choice than their perspective languages for something like

This is just my experience but if there has existed a common line of thinking with the rabid Java fans I've worked with, it would be closed mindedness to the point of being its own brand of Stockholm syndrome. The thinking that whatever the
