I did use it two years ago, and it was mature enough if we followed these constrains: * do not rely on Xamarin Forms, except for some menial configuration ui * do not link native libraries, because fixing them after i.e Xcode upgrade can be

It is interesting that when I considered next language to write a side-project in, I was choosing between Ceylon and Kotlin. In the end I did choose Kotlin. My reasons included: * support in IDEA * focus on java interoperability * nice inte

How does flow stand now? I have tried to use it ~6 months ago and the tooling felt kind-of wonky and I didn't feel like maintaining the interface files if so much of it seemed to be in flux.

I think understood the Elm/Haskell/Purescript, i.e: Javascript dev sees Elm and might think "Wow,a type-system and it is awesome, didn't expect that" Haskell dev sees Elm and might think "I am missing so many f

Well, that is how we quickly go to the argument of "Lets replace the complicated social security system with basic livable wage being handed out to ever-one." comoonlz known as universal basic income. If one looks at it from econo

If I were in your position, I would probably do these steps: 1. Make sure I know where do I stand with my personal safety net. Will I have problem with visa? What is my 'runway', i.e: when will I start having problems with paying

Fortunately we seem to be moving away from that now-days :) And I have talked with our guys and I can sort of see it from their view-point. from their point of view it often is the hunt for the last `checkbox`, the last necessary tick somew

You mention that you might write an article on distinguishing the tangential feature requests from the useful ones. I would really like to read that :) Especially if I could send it to our product managers, because our product has been in a

Question, how does Switzerland avoid becoming more polarized country with so many referendum questions each year? Do you think there is a risk passing a referendum resolution that passed just by a small margin? I have been thinking about th

So should I think about Reason to Ocaml as Elixir to Erlang, or is there more to it? I smelled hints of Chris Grangers light-table, or even EVE, when I saw the gif of the repl.

I think such tool is targeted at you if: a) you are a developer that needs to interact with a database b) you don't have expertise with that database i.e: I needed to develop against mongo some weeks ago, I normally don't do that

Not sure if counts, but I have used 7 inch nexus 7 + bt keyboard to write my diploma thesis in latex. The writing experience was decent, and I liked how few distractions I got when writing. Was even able to do corectures without the bt-keyb

I remember watching a talk about apache Samza [1] that tries to envision a database model that would be truly append only. It is based on Apache Kafka, so it would satisfy your "distributed" and "immutable forever" requi

Not really podcast, but similiar enough: RollPlay shows by twitch streamer JP McDaniels. I really like PnP, but sheduling my own games is tricky and this gives me the weekly fix. It can be kind of slow-paced, but some of the character arcs

I think greatest dis-advantage you will face when you would try to learn this outside of university is that you probably won't have class-mates to help you and professor to give you an exam at the end. One of the reasons why I finished

It can be complicated, but if you want to see an example, you can look at MonoGame samples [1] The simple platformer has one source, but you should be able to compile it with Mono on Linux/OSX/Win or with Visual studio after you d

> Assuming I got an easy ride simply because I'm white is a pretty racist statement and I find myself surprised that no one is calling out the author on it. I wouldn't say you got an easy ride, just that your ride was easier th

This really seems to be a culture problem. We have long time established custom, that if you want to communicate with somebody via chat, you send him a 'ping' first, and wait if he responds.

The chip is a copy-protection mechanism. This means you can't do a man in the middle attack (in your words 'steal he swipe') because the chip on the card has challenge-response protocol to authenticate. Even if you somehow st

My advice for you would probably be, to try to work/consult anywhere to get you the "at least 2 years experience in" your chosen specialization :-) As far as I have seen, as long as the HR thinks you have been on somebody els

I would say that AI eventually went entirely different direction, instead of trying to specify some set of symbolic rules encoding knowledge, we currently throw lots of data at layered neural networks. So, if prolog has future, it probably
