In Western Europe at least, I think you would have a much better chance if you were applying for a .NET, Java, or PHP position (which given your C experience, you should be able to master any of them). Golang has a much smaller market share

For iOS it's being able to save things first. The ability to use the chat on iOS is a second priority for me.

Looks great! At first glance, this appears to be the service I've been searching for. I'm currently using raindrop to bookmark items I intend to read later, but its search and recollection functionality leaves much to be desired.

I'm already seeing a lot of enterprise companies gearing-up to go all-in on Blazor. Having a single language (C#) for web, mobile and all other back-end services must be huge draw for them. > What's funnier too, is that it&#x27

How did you manage to get different scaling to work, if I may ask? That's the only thing I haven't been able to get properly working myself. I have a similar laptop screen, and 3 external 4k monitors. I would love to be able to sc

To be fair stuff like Design Patterns, SOLID, Domain-Driven Design etc. come up in a lot of interviews for "business application development" roles in other languages as well, especially C# and Java. What's ironic is that oft

Not a PHP developer myself, but in my area most web development is still done in PHP. The modern PHP language is a lot like any other high level language now, but the main attraction of PHP are (still) the massively popular (and stable) ope

Off-topic but thanks for the tip on Seveneves! Never heard of the book before, but looking it up seems like my cup of tea :)

Oh, you're right. I overlooked that last paragraph.

I'm sorry that you feel that way. I was already aware of the fact that it was both half a film, and that the second part wasn't green-lit yet. Despite of this, the film completely lived up to to my expectations.

I'll rather do it on Denis Villeneuve's behalf, who I regard as one of the best filmmakers of the current era. I couldn't care less about Warner/HBO.

It's fantastic. Go see it in Imax if you can. Going to the theaters will help to get part 2 made.

Give it another decade or so, and I can see Lucasfilm/Disney making full feature films starring only deepfake 'clones' of the original trilogy characters in their younger/O.T. forms.

ASP.NET Web Forms + Telerik components always came really close for me for web apps. And to lesser extend Xamarin Forms for mobile as well.

Fair enough. I had the same feeling with older tablets that I owned (early iPad's and Samsung Android tablets), but the iPad Pro did hit a sweet spot for me.

Programming, video editing, graphics design, writing papers, etc... For these applications the iPad Pro has been a disappointment Apart from maybe graphics design, I don't believe the iPad Pro was ever advertised to do those things (

I own a 2018 iPad Pro, and it's possibly the best & most versatile device I've ever owned. Among the things I use it for are: surfing the web whilst on the couch, checking in on my RSS feeds, casual gaming, watching movies, re

It's not just 'simple CRUD apps' vs 'advanced apps', I find it's also language/ecosystem specific. I've worked on Java and .NET projects (typed languages) where ORM's are a fact of life, and actu

Blazor comes in two flavors: Blazor via WebAssembly and Blazor server-side over websockets/SignalR. The contents of this story directly relate to the latter one.

I disagree. I use it daily as my tool to manage data in MySQL, Postgress, Sql server and Db2 databases, and it's probably one of my favorite JetBrains tools. As a Linux user there aren't that many good options available, and I am

Tip: install Pop!_OS - Nvidia edition. I also have a (1st gen) Thinkpad X1 Extreme with a 4K screen. In addition to that, I have 3 external 4K screens connected to it (so 4x 4K screens in total), and it runs smoothly without having needed a

Well to be honest, I really like the open-source approach that they have decided on for the development of the standard. You can follow the development of it's reference implementation on the Github repo of the project: https:/&#

I'd imagine that the security implications for non-wifi devices are somewhat less than for wifi-enabled devices. ZigBee devices do not "phone home" over the internet, and in addition to that are not able to download and upgra

Amazon and Apple are both members of the CHIP working group. As far as I know, CHIP uses Thread as one of it's protocols (the other being a BLE derivative). Sidewalk uses WiFi, which is not very efficient for low-powered devices (eg. s

That's not true at all. There are tons of ZigBee/Z-Wave devices available, most notably the Philips Hue series. I have over 60 ZigBee devices in my house, and so do a lot of people that I know. Also you can expect the next-gen low
