It does, yes. MS sets the base for the core stuff more so than on other ecosystems though.

Firearms license yes, though transferable from overseas. Permit yes, but just apply online in a few mins. No tags required. Edit: Oops that was for NZ, not Aus.

The hope is to hold the pests back to a level at which the native species can survive.

Note we have some offshore islands etc where 100% kill has been achieved. We're not even close to being able to achieve that on the mainland though.

Basically accurate here but "hunters" does cover a pretty diverse group of people with many different motivations. They include many who care very deeply about conservation and unfortunately also those who threaten to poison milk

I live in New Zealand and spend some time in our back country deer stalking, trout fishing and exploring. NZ uses about 80% of the worlds supply of 1080 poison[1] and our next trip is into one of the areas where it is dropped every few year

SPOILER: You need a way to defeat the regex (see other comments here). Then think about what the "foo" actually does (and read the error console).

That's not cool. The last thing we need is more things for people to use as reasons for not using HTTPS at all.

Can you please clarify exactly what you mean by compression? Is this referring to typical gzip compression in HTTP results or something else?

async doesn't really give you anything new you couldn't do before, just nicer syntax for composing it all. As you say you've already found other ways to compose your asynchronous flows for you.

"WCF, AppFabric and ASP.Net" happen to give you an awful lot of that sort of infrastructure for free, I rarely directly use anything async in my web apps either. I do wonder how you're managing responsiveness in the forms app

.NETs Entity Framework lets you do this using the fantastic LINQ syntax. Commonly you will say which objects to select, then give a projection into a new anonymous type with only the columns you want.

I wonder what the chances of them getting this to us in NZ are...

This looks great and is close to something I've specifically looked for in the past. My only suggestion would be that the pricing is going to be awkward for my use case. Typically we work with many small clients and one of our issues is man

I have not looked at this framework in particular sorry, I was only really commenting on JS vs. C# here.
18.
by barrydahlberg 15y ago
Being able to write C# instead of JS is a pretty big point IMHO.

Yes it's good for testing but if you want a host name and a background task it gets uncheap pretty quickly. Time for some creative engineering perhaps.

Nice to see such a simple and straightforward approach taken. I'm starting to feel better about AppHarbour now that things seem to be rolling out more regularly. Currently my only complaint is that we want to run many very small prototype s

RailsCasts gets recommended to beginners a lot but every time I go there I'm kind of overwhelmed and have no idea where to start. The archives go back to 2007 so starting at the beginning seems likely to cover outdated subjects now. On the

AppHarbor is an alternative to Azure styled after Heroku. I use both and currently I would summarize the situation as: - Azure is big and stable and ready for production use but it also comes with the Microsoft way of doing things which can

This is how we use github among other things. AFAIK there isn't standard support for this sort of thing in the browsers though.

Nice that they have add ons and pricing for them but I wish they'd sort out their own preliminary prices first... http://appharbor.com/page/pricing Until there is solid pricing and a decent story around support it's very hard to use for

Useful if you are composing the function with others which may not be built specifically for strings, e.g. filter, map etc.

It sounds like you want to be at home so that your little girl gets more of your time. Working effectively from home requires getting as much time to yourself as possible. It's going to be a tough conflict. I'm a dad with a 20 month old son
