Personally I map caps to control because it makes all my text navigation easier (ctrl + a, ctrl + e, ctrl + shift + enter, etc). Plus side: less RSI-feelings in my left wrist. Down side: muscle memory makes you look incompetent on other ma

With Azure they can bill you for the licenses and the computing platform, while also ensuring a pretty impressive degree of lock-in once the platform is sold. Not only are their incentives still out of alignment, the massive consultant ec

What I find missing, compared to back-in-the-day, is the _maturity_ of that ecosystem. Win32 has warts on warts, but around the year 2000 the MS development space was a monoculture and the COM-to-GUI story was increasingly mature and integr

To hazard a guess: a supportive angel investor who wasn't deeply involved in the day-to-day and gave a considered thumbs up to the early plans that were a bit more grounded in concept yet totally untethered from the real-world costs? I

Combined with squashing and rebasing git flow leaves a very nice history... I can imagine if you're slamming a bunch of uncurated commit messages along with lots of merges you're gonna see a chaotic history. A consistent history

I'm no proponent of long-lived branches, as such, but isn't holding branches like that in synch that exactly what `git rebase` is for? It's all product specific, naturally, but I've had occasions where isolated multi-mon

I'd go a step further: F# being slightly slow on the uptake of new shiney-shiney-shiney things from MS means you're less likely to hit solutions based on dead product lines and/or tech. A slight moderation in speed to avoid

I believe that full dotnet core 2.0 support will be something of a watershed moment for F#... .Net on linux has a lot to say for hybrid cloud installations and cloud based development in .Net land. F# is a near-perfect match for many of th

And more specifically: F# is a first-class .Net langauge. That means it has full access to the Base Class Library and cross language interop. It's as "general purpose" as C#, but wildly better for most "general" de

I'd say it's a touch more insidious than that... Microsoft, Oracle, etc: they are highly motivated to present "demo-ware" solutions to half-interested devs to sell their languages (and related high-margin database licens

From the article, and I'm no expert: they referred to that other court as a "sister court". My take on that was that those courts reside on the same legal 'tier' so neither one really dictates for the other, SCOTUS

Two things can be true simultaneously... Google, good or evil, has a massive long-running interest in not allowing nations to subvert each others laws. Taken cynically: protecting user data may be entirely incidental to securing megabillion

Point of order: the accusation is not that Google duplicated and replicated data, some of which is outside the country. Google is being accused of intentionally obfuscating their control of the data explicitly to avoid court-orders (and no

Commands are objects that express a command. A query is something that provides a value. You can code it up in minutes, and most of the code is pure plumbing to connect to datasources. If that sounds complicated to buy independent control
