It does make it much easier to get going. Most of the packages you expect to be able to use are there. This only becomes an issue if you want to run cross platform. Once nice thing they added recently is that they issue warnings if some of

Another great polyglot was Sir Richard Francis Burton [1]. Not only did he speak more than 20 languages, but he led an incredible life. Edward Rice wrote a great biography [2] (although I read the earlier edition). Burton himself wrote a gr

Yes, exactly. It's great that we can continue along editing and committing. The freedom that DVCSs bring has really changed the world of development. However, feeling the pain of not being able to access other repos shows both the valu

I have kept one off and on. I like writing using pen and paper. Given that I type much more quickly and I'm at a computer all day, a file-based journal is more pragmatic. I wrote a simple script 14 years ago to automate the organizatio

I would pick a set of technologies that you want to learn. This will require a bit of research, of course. It's a bit of a personal decision, based on your predilections and your past experience. There is a ton of activity in the space

I went through a similar phase when I was younger. I had been involved with amateur radio since I was 13 and everything in my life pointed to EE at university. By the time I got there, I didn't see the point anymore. I no longer found

This is the biggest design flaw with this laptop. It is a very unflattering angle and makes the video essentially useless. It's the one reason I can't recommend it to people (or I recommend it with a caveat, if they use the camera

First, you're comparing two different domains. App developers (whether mobile, web, or some other environment) live at the top of the stack. As such, they must wrangle many disparate frameworks and libraries to achieve their goals. Fra

One advantage of storing multiple schemas in one database is that a connection can be shared (assuming a shared authentication strategy). This is because, as mentioned in the article, the switch to one schema vs. another happens after the c

I think they each have their place. More and more of what I do involves rich client work and so I often need Node just to build the client. For API work, I think .NET is just getting better and better. Now that it's cross platform with

One thing that caught my eye was the strange phrase trop va qui dure, which I was having trouble translating (I'm not a native speaker). I felt better when I looked at the Wikipedia page which said that the origin of the name remains m

Yes, they've taken pragmatic steps to deal with it, given the current situation. It seems that there may be another aspect to basic income refusal that isn't immediately evident. Perhaps the suspicion that is prevalent here for re

I meant profit in non-monetary terms, but in terms related to the experiment. When you run an experiment, and you get a result you didn't expect, there may be a new discovery or a silver lining if it's an undesirable discovery.

This seems like the kind of surprising result that the scientific method begs for. Instead of trying to understand it, or profit from its prevalence, the organization is attempting to reduce it. It doesn't seem likely that this type of

I just installed D4W a few days ago for the first time. It's been great. It's a seamless experience on W10 Pro with Hyper-V. I've used VirtualBox a lot and I like it but I always have to fuss with the network bridge and such.
