I think that is a load of toss. Sure there are dedicated clients for Windows, but you can access the entire of their "cloud offerings" via the web and some rather nifty APIs. Ultimately my point is that it is no different to any other "clou

Most banks use an eventually consistent message oriented architecture, not a transactional one. At a low level banks use both absolute consistency (for physical transaction stores) and eventual consistency (for logical transaction implement

I think this comes down to "shit is hard" and "a quick tutorial isn't going to make you an expert". There are too many people after instant gratification these days. After 10 years of writing code, I felt that I had a basic understanding of

I call bullshit. Desktops taking a hit from tablets - are you crazy? Desktops are taking a hit from desktops! There are still acres of desktop real estate which is going to be replaced with more desktops. Looking at this at a high level, th

The only thing I do and would use there is "logger". The rest is about showboating. A GUI and a script should never be entangled if you ask me. There should be no coupling there. Everything script-related should run quite happily non intera

That's great and all that but you can't scale up production at that scale (imagine even building an opamp with it) and it doesn't mention anywhere how long the gate actually lasted. Thermal effects at that scale would probably destroy it pr

I'm not confused between null and None. That's obvious and wholly pointless. You should know that you must initialise all types to a default value. Then you don't need a language feature for "None". Being lazy or stupid is not a reason to a

I know this is about the alternatives, and I'm probably absolutely mad, but I still prefer Java over all the new alternatives. It still feels "solid" and dependable and without much fluff.

TBH I'm in London and I've never had to wait for dental treatment. I thought it'd be rather busy here. With respect to "radical new treatments", I'd rather go out with my dignity intact than hold onto some hope of some snake oil possibly wo

Indeed. Although here in the UK, I find it frustrating that whilst we use metric for literally everything, we use MPH and miles for distance. It's illogical. If I utter kilometers to anyone, they look at me funny. I spent 5 years training m

You get free dental treatment and glasses if you are a student/unemployed. NHS dental charges for the employed are as follows: http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/1781.aspx?CategoryID=74&SubC... - each charge covers everything for 2 months su

Now the big questions: Are you the law? Should you make your own rules? Should you have your own court? Because that's how you are operating. You made your own law and tempted people to break "common law". Double standards.

This is normal. Most of the textbooks are crap and teach you nothing but theory. Most EE's spend a lot of time in front of a computer these days doing nothing practical. Grab a copy of "The Art Of Electronics Student Manual" which will give
