Cannot agree on error messages, had opposite experience with them. I always require all team members to install English versions of runtimes because it is easy to search non-trivial errors on the internet. Many translations are automatic or

MSFT gross margin is 72B, this number better matches GDP and its c.70 rank by nominal GDP. Interestingly, Luxembourg has $69B GDP with 590K population, MSFT's "population" is 131K. Each MSFT citizen is 4.5x more productive. A

From my experience gym/steam/sauna is probably the only structured activity you have other than work, and probably "too weak vacation" if you are lucky. And those are just required to be physically functional. 5x12 in th

For local web dev/testing most tools generate test temp certificates automatically or it's easy to get them, so the only issue is using it in production e.g. for communicating from web apps to local services. The article links to

Yes, F# was the first with async. Interop with C# is native, all code is compiled to IL and JIT-ed together. Problem with TPL is that it is supported by Roslyn at the language level. The C# compiler rewrites async/await into very effic

I used to love F# before .NET Core, but then it was broken for two years for any sane design time experience on Core. I even wrote some rant about it with specific concerns I had ( http://hotforknowledge.com/2016/10&#x2F

Probably due to "send" in their name incoming email parsing was terrible for years and my two very specific tickets was ignored. Some crazy mess with encoding parsing, while MailGun does all the dirty job and gives clean UTF8. Aft

I'm not a lawyer but the first reaction to this was if it is enforceable at all? There is a [rich choice] ( https://tldrlegal.com/ ) of licenses backed by court history and many years of practical usage. For my OSS proje

Even MySQL community download has a small link at the bottom "No thanks, just start my download.", but no registration is possible despite two very huge buttons that just scream to sign up or sign in to an Oracle account.

Hi! Thanks! I will replace truffle-contract with web3 1.0 contracts API. Current web3 1.0-beta doesn't work well with TS. The dependency was accidental since I was already using it, while writing codegen stuff took very little time and

We wrote a library with the same code generation purpose almost on the same day (1st commit). I just found myself typing the same TS code using truffle-contract lib over ERC20 methods. Using it in production and will release v.1. as soon as
