As the Higgs fills in the last missing particle for the Standard Model, creating such a new accelerator seems very speculative. Maybe there is nothing else to find at higher energies, there is no hint of them at the LHC and the Standard mod

Because you are disadvantaging people for a behaviour they might never exhibit. There is a reason we do not punish people for crimes they have not yet committed. You should judge people on their actual actions and not on your prediction of

Maybe the most popular small libraries should be merged together into a single library that can be used to reduce the number of dependencies, in the hope it can become a standard. Like a jQuery for npm.

The post only mentions .NET Core, but should actually be mostly talking about ASP.NET Core that runs on top of .NET Core. The features such as dependency injection and Razor Pages are ASP.NET Core specific. Microsoft have announced that the

The irony of bank lending is that the companies that are safe to lend to, do not need the money. The ones that really need a loan are the ones that might not pay it back. When you do not need to borrow, your bank is constantly trying to enc

Occam's razor cannot be used to assert that when something exists, if must be or indeed is likely, to be in its simplest possible form. Human DNA has plenty of redundant areas and yet we still exist. Indeed, probably all organism have

I think Joel Spolsky is fantastic, I read his excellent blog articles way back when they were first written. His intelligence, business acumen and subsequent success are not in dispute. I am a big fan of his ideas and work. But even I would
