Is there much choice though in terms of jobs? I mean, is it worth learning D vs rust? I'm actually thinking about that nowadays, for what to learn next..

Good to know. I felt that way about Ubuntu / Lubuntu for that time too, until now. This gives me some confidence about Debian to put some time into trying it out. Thanks!

Oh, didn't know that. That gives me a better sense of "how stable" each is. Thanks!

The packages are somewhat tested, but "you are participating in the development of Debian when you are tracking testing or unstable" [1]. My feeling is Debian testing is a little less stable than non-LTS Ubuntu. See, I'd lik

I don't want to argue. I read what you wrote and genuinely wondered about the working conditions of Chinese laborers in the distant past in the USA. > 8,000 Chinese focused on building the tunnels while another 3,000 laid track ...

Extremely jarring, ugly to me, and what's more: the escape key still doesn't escape the address bar to focus back on the page!

In Alberta too. No surprise really. Both Quebec and Alberta (also Ontario) have LOTS [1] of political influence from traditional engineering companies. You know, not that long ago in Alberta, you could use "Software Engineer" wit

Not having a degree precludes registration... in fact, the degree must be from an engineering society accredited program, to ensure you get enough hours in front of a P.Eng prof or lecturer, among other things, I think. One Canadian univers

Question for you then: Can you work under someone who's a P.Eng mechanical or civil engineer, and then get your own P.Eng license that way (as a software engineer)?

Thanks. Yeah, I have S3. Just wondering if CF would save costs in this simple scenario. S3 transfer to CF is free I think so might be worth my giving it a try.

Do you know what the cost difference is between CloudFront and S3 in terms of serving big files like video files? For convenience and other reasons, I use S3 to publish some videos for a small group (~30) I teach. Wondering if serving that

This toolkit approach sounds inspired by the web. You write in whatever language / framework but the GUI runs in the browser runtime. But what about their ReactXP? That's supposed to let you build for React for Windows & Mac
