Yes, but I suspect it’s a European truth. There is a fundamental difference between America and Europe, in that Americans distrust their government but trust corporations and the free market. Europe is the exact opposite. You can agree or d

We mainly do DB construction ourselves, and for C# use LinqToSql and our own repos to integrate with it. This is mainly because entity framework is terrible. It’s slow enough that the lack of speed which is worse in Linq gets negligible. It

Why do you want WPF or windows forms for your application? Especially if you’re doing a web based backend any way. I know it’s a tad silly to use web uis for everything, but the truth is, that it’s where almost all of the ui innovations lie

Why wouldn’t you? C# is so unproductive compared to python. Everything is so low level and verbose, nuget packages are mostly undocumented and unsupported, entity framework is terrible, no graphql tools. I mean, we still do a lot of c# at o

It’s not something I’ve looked into, but being from Denmark, one of the most digitised public sectors of Europe, I do hear about our competitors. I think you should look into Estonia, they offer digital citizenship and a range of other serv

I think Facebook is wrong to blame the EU or the GDPR on its faltering status in Europe. The GDPR is certainly making people more aware of what privacy means, and I think that’s a good thing, but it’s also came into existence because the pe

.net core 3.0 will be .net core only. Which may not be much of a problem if you were already running it in a non-windows environment, but it’ll make it useless for those of us who also have hundreds legacy systems, and those legacy systems

When I say productive, I'm talking about time to market. I don't really care about the efficiency because iron is cheap and development time is not.

Really? Because stuff like silverlight, linq_to_sql, razor/mvc and others might want a word. I know technology moves forward, by typically it does so in a much less costly manner, because in the real world, moving people from asp.net c

I'm not sure anyone who truly cares about effort uses .net core. :p I mean, it's a cheap shot, but it's frankly so unproductive compared to Django it's basically a running joke. Not that .net core doesn't see a lot

Because decisions are rarely down to just one field of expertise, and technical experts are often some of the least knowledgeable about fields that aren’t theirs. Like if you build a new application for handling internal e-commerce. The pro

Because the technical truth is only part of the equation. The right decision almost always boils down to a combination of experts, finances, end users, over all strategy, corporate culture and realism. The variables variate in importance, b

It’s used for bio-diesel. The cars that run on it are sold as green, but by burning the rainforest to make enough palm oil, the cars that run on it are instead the least green.

It depends on what you want to do. There is a lot of room for technical experts who want to build products for other people. I’m a manager now, and have been for years, but leaving product building behind was one of the hardest things I eve

I’m not sure about that. The ability to identify and accept a hard problem, and then do something about it, speaks of good management in their engineering department.

Google wouldn’t guarantee data wouldn’t leave EU for the longest time, and still don’t on some services. They were also extremely slow to adopt EU legislation required, and still haven’t for all services. Microsoft by contrast did so immedi

I’m not sure why this was downvoted so heavily, because it has a point. The US is obviously not a trustworthy partner, but neither is China. At least American companies still reside in a somewhat democracy where they’ll actually protect our

But that’s not faster. The old way: click, you’re done. The new way: click, hold finger, slide, and you’re done. Like I said, it’s faster to go from 1 to 10, but 99% of the times I use it, I’m just changing the volume by 1. Hell, it’s easie

I think the keyboard is down to preference, I prefer the new one. It does seem silly not to include a dongle in the box though. I mean, I’m buying apple because I want my tech to just work, and now my mouse or magic keyboard can’t connect a

It’s terrible compared to the old way. You click the sound icon, then the slide opens up, then you can either slide it or click one of the two icons. It’s probably quicker to change the volume from one to ten this way, but 99% of my use cas

I upgraded from a late 2015 to a 2018 earlier this fall. I don’t really miss anything, especially not the weight or the keyboard. The touchbar has never been of use to me though. It doesn’t annoy me much, but the user design for changing vo

I don’t know about that, Django is arguable still the most productive web-framework. I mean, I like JS as much as everyone else and graphql is better with Apollo than it is with graphene, but I can make a full django app and deploy it befor

I regret every RPA project we have to build. It’s just so stupid and avoidable by only buying things with APIs. But it’s apparently the future of a lot of IT, because people aren’t going to stop buying really shitty software or start making

Why was it wrong to promote your colleague to manager instead of you? You did technical work, but your colleague build relationships and manoeuvred politically. So from what you’re saying, your colleague was a better choice for management t

One of the first cyberpunk books I read opens with a drone hit on some European business man at a company resort. It seems like we’re hell bent on making this reality. I mean, military AI is basically an inevitable future for us at this poi

Does C really teach you how to be careful with memory in JAVA? I think teaching big O is and focusing on efficiency is much better than teaching someone C. Especially in the modern world where garbage collection isn’t bad and memory is abun
