I specifically said python, flask and Django, the guy I was replying to then asked for an example, where I used only Django, and now you’re using that against me? Obviously we don’t use Django for everything. But like with web-applications,

It’s having to explicitly tell the computer what you want. C# is obviously not C, but it’s not python either. By the time we have an app running in Django, we’re not even finished with Entity modelling in a Core web-api. I do think stuff li

Do people really use .NET core, and if so, why? We’ve been a C# house for several years, decades really, and I’ve always preferred it to JAVA so I’m actually excited for Core. But we rarely use it. Not because it’s not great, rather because

I’m completely out of my field, but I never understood why it was so hard for us to imagine that other animals were capable of having rich inner lives or even being self-aware. To me it seem obvious that other animals would also possess var

It also works better than agile when you’re buying software and you can’t just sign on on something without knowing what it’ll cost. Which is 99% of the time in the real world. I think the golden middleway is somewhere in between, where you

The “back” function seem broken on mobile. Also, it’s not a fun learning experience if you don’t get the correct answer when you get something wrong. It’s also not “unlucky” to be wrong, don’t patronise your users.

You mention some of it, I genuinely don’t want my OS to install short cuts for candy crush and mind craft when I’m not looking, it’s more than that though, because I really don’t like my corporate windows 10 either and it’s free from all of

I’ve made the opposite switch this year, completely abandoning windows for my personal use. I still use it professionally, being in the European public sector you’re married to MS and it’s quite honestly a healthy relationship for a lot of

I don’t think the web has changed and I think HN is the perfect testament to that opinion. Almost all of the interesting content I consume online comes from personal self-build blogs, HN or real news papers like the NYT. I don’t think the c

I always found it rather interesting how similar Buddhism is to Christian, and how different they are typically taught. The teaching of Jesus and Buddha are really giving you the exact same advice. Self-sacrifice, honesty, hard work and bei

I think that would explain why they aren’t performing on par with python developers. I also think a lot of python developers started with C, and that typically makes you a better programmer, because if you’ve suffered through memory allocat

We’ve been a C# house since .net 2.0 and having recently moved a lot of our things to first JS and then python I think it’s the tooling. Visual studio does a lot of things for you without a CLI. Want to deploy? Right click on your project a

Well, yes and no. The iMessage app is really, really awesome when you’re sitting with your Mac. Until you want to message someone with an android phone. :p

When I google things the top results are a mix of advertising, advertising pretending to be content, the Danish wiki article and maybe a link to some short no-content post on Quora, medium, reddit or similar. None of which is interesting. G

I wonder when Facebook is going to get disrupted. It seems to me their key feature is having everyone connected, and while anecdotal, my friends list sure hasn’t been affected by these scandals. What has been affected is the perception. It’

I usually just do, hey Siri, set alarm to x. Then you can have as many alarms keeping track of your cooking as you want without touching your phone with your foodsy fingers. If Siri understands you that is. I agree with your point though, i

The blogs of old are still there, I mean, this article even links to a few. They are just really hard to find, and that’s the problem. The internet didn’t stop being interesting, HN is a great example of this in action. The blog article abo

Google is better at localized stuff, but very often I prefer the English version. Like in the case of Wikipedia, if my goal was to look something up on wiki I’d always pick the English version, but on google it’s on the second or third resu

2018 was the year I adopted ddg, not because of privacy, but because google result sucks. Almost every time I search, I don’t get a single result I want on the first page. The first 3 results are sponsored adds, then there is the Danish Wik

I think you can say something similar about programming languages that don't have automatic memory assignment. It can be perfectly valid to have a pointer reserved in memory, without having given it a value to point to yet. I see why t

CS50 is an introductory course, I think almost anyone can do it. It may take a lot of effort, but once you finish, you’ll have obtained the ability to learn X from its documentation because you’ve learned basic CS and not just google coding

I truly don’t get how sites like udacity are able to sell thousands of amateurish introductions to various trends, when you can literally follow CS50 in all its incantations for free on edX.org. Sure it won’t give you a video guide of X pop

I use Firefox for development, but I use safari (privately) and edge (professionally) for browsing, and see no real advantages to using either Firefox or Chrome for that. I think modern Firefox is a much better browser than Chrome though, b

I prefer Edge to chrome actually, and especially professionally where chromes security settings won’t accept internal SSL certs as safe. Bing is terrible, but I don’t think Edge is.
