It was the next logical step for Russia after they built their own GPS and their alternative to the World Bank, the BRICS bank. Their biggest enemy has proven that they cannot be trusted and they are the ones who invented the Internet. Anyt

Capitalism is unethical. No economic system is perfect. Ironically, when the rich in the US are in financial trouble, they force government to be communist. Like in 2008 recession, companies were bailed out using taxpayers’ money. I am not

US residents have to compete with prospective students from other countries. Some of those countries rank better than the US when coming to STEM subjects. They end up getting admission ahead of US residents. Solution is to improve teaching

Clear and concise to someone new to programming. Also less typing. Comparison of an a market leader to a new entrant is designed to make you switch from market leader to new entrant in the market.

Thanks. It makes sense because it doesn't have statement. Ternary operator wasn't going to be possible.

> What's the difference between ternary operator and inline if/else? There is no difference. Ternary operator is a syntactic sugar for if/else. > Is there even any reason for if/else that doesn't return a valu

Maybe they are saying it is much easier to enter the country? I will give an example with my own country -> South Africa. We have more white people than all other Africa countries combined. We have more Chinese people than all other Afri

Even though South Africa has 11 official languages, English is the most official language in South Africa. When speeches are delivered by public officials, they are 99% in English. All official documents have English in it. Even the governm

Visual Studio copied Resharper. VS now suggests some new language features.

For that to happen, functional languages have to take over. Most people are just not into functional programming languages. They prefer imperative programming languages. I feel Microsoft is doing a great job of slowly forcing C#.NET Develop

I have been programming in C# for 13 years now. Majority of new features are just syntactic sugar. Code I wrote in 2009 is still running even in 2019. I don't rewrite my applications in a newer version each time there is a new release

If I use twitter again, I will use it as a news source. I will follow news outlets, IT personalities, sports personalities, sports clubs, and Presidents. I won’t even tweet. Tweeting when you aren’t a celebrity or public figure is a waste o

The way I understood it, prospective doctors are only tolerating huge college debt because they will be highly paid and be able to pay back huge college debt. If fees goes down, people will simply avoid being doctors and study something els

I singled out Britain because they were the most vocal in the fight against apartheid. Maybe it was because they were our former colonisers. They are the ones who imposed sanctions that helped. As for US, it was in fact the CIA who gave apa
