I'm sure this is just a troll post but wouldn't anyone your property management "caught" using this device simply say they used off the premises and that would be the end of it?

The implication wasn't clear because, frankly, it's a silly thought. This post is ripe for that "that's not how any of this works" meme. I can understand the emotional intent, but it's important to ensure that

> which means runtime errors in the object tree usually causes the entire app to crash with very abstract error messages. This is absolutely untrue. Xaml errors can be caught like any other error, and most errors get swallowed rather tha

Your comment reads that you're angry at Github for not taking a more open source approach. That's a fine opinion to have, but it doesn't make sense to demonize them for being a for-profit company. They are not robbing anyone

$20 is less than a drop in the bucket, but $20 dollars for essentially a donation is another matter. For the companies that already contribute monetarily to open source, I don't think much changes. The unfortunate reality is that for c

if the terrorist organization is able to fund itself, then no, 10 to 1 is not money well spent. You'll lose in the long run.

jetbrains is doing a very good job of creating good error messages, but just like any other jvm language, you can run into huge, messy, jvm stacktraces. In my experience, Java/jvm proficiency is useful

lambda's are much more limited in flexibility when compared with linq. Because of the way java lambda's work, I imagine there are some scenarios where they are more performant, but it probably comes down to the specific problem&#x

"not least of all, the variety of form factors and new players such as Chrome OS, which isn't included here for logistical reasons." From the article, no the chromebook is not the reason for the bump in linux. It would be int

It's not a personal attack because I don't actually know anything about you, and I'm not claiming to. I'm making that statement in regard to your two posts up the chain. They are statements that don't reveal any sol

No, no no no. I cannot believe that you are honestly saying a 2x increase to throughput in production is something you "shouldn't take seriously" because the code isn't as readable as it was before. Programmers are expen

To be fair, the correct use case for Dispose is extremely confusing in .NET. Dispose feel like a language construct to novice developers, but it's left to library designers to properly implement it. There are multiple cases of Microsof

You got extremely lucky. Not that windows is much better, but in general there are hiccups to upgrading with most linux distros as well as windows.

Enjoyed the article. My personal battle with f# has always been searching for what is idiomatic. Everything feels a little bit foreign when you write something in f#. One of the responses the author leaves in reply to a comment is something

I've read a few of this guys blog posts and they are generally fairly interesting. This one a little less so, but I had a good chuckle from the line about why he implemented generics in magpie. "Magpie has generics because I’m fir

Garbage collection does not actually solve the problem of lifetimes. At least not in the gc'd languages I am intimately familiar (c#/java). I cannot comment on whether or not Go solves the problem of lifetimes because I don't

I could see how this statement could be construed as inflammatory, but I don't think he was implying that Go is a play toy. He was implying that you can't make a judgment on the language based on making play toys (the toy IRC clie

This is a really weird article. It manages to "cover" a huge amount of ground while simultaneously saying pretty much nothing.

This is a guess, but if I were to have a problem with the term CQRS Library, it is that the query and command sides of CQRS really shouldn't be linked in any way. CQRS is a methodology that stresses that decoupling above all else. If y
