Windows is the most used operating system, so to call it a Ghetto is wrong by definition, IMHO. In my experience, Visual Studio 2008 with .NET libraries and MSDN is very good development platform.

I agree with you. During my career I worked for 3 companies and technically my job was always the same - software developer, including both design and implementation. But the overall situation was different because every company has differe

In our company, the rule is that we are not allowed to upgrade core MS software ourselves (XP, Office, IE, service packs etc.) This is done by the security department and rolled out automatically to workstations. Other than that, I can inst

Hi, I welcome chess news here, thank you for reminding that WCC is here!. Anyway, mnemonicsloth, are you sure with your title? At which point do you see Kramnik's position superior?

Things got improved recently...I tend to like the new Visual Studio 2008 + .NET + C# combo. Despite the numerous critique I partially agree with, Microsoft showed the continuous commitment to improve their software, and I personally still t

I think the issue is that AFAIK it is not that easy to make $2000/y with selling stock photography. Actually, it is a hard, persistent work. So he was propably just lucky, so they picked him up to advertise them.

I became interested about Sony Reader when I saw the mention of frontlight...if I can really use it at dark, I am sold.

Hi Norman, I had the similar idea as well - what I most like to program are standalone windows applications. I think it is still possible to get rich on that space, but maybe harder as it was before, since there is a global trend of using s

Ok, thanks for explanation. Can I have one more question - why exactly do you disallow or don't like bots?

I wouldn't call him a crank, maybe he is even right, but this was my thought as well...he could maintain a blog for example, write all his findings there a now everyone could see what he was up to back then.

I don't consider this a big problem yet, the quality of frontpage submissions is still pretty good. Yes, there were a few political/financial entries recently, but still they weren't completely off-topic IMHO, given the current state of the

Great, congratulation. I'd be curious to hear more about your experiences. ;-)

I must say Richard lost my respect due to his extreme black&white opinions. What I don't get is his irrational fear of proprietary software. For example, I work for a very large (proprietary) software product for healthcare industry. Th

Is it already installable in Firefox? Last time I tried, it said that Silverlight is installed, but it wasn't actually.

Ok, but if you would be a project manager responsible for developing and delivering software product, would you choose non-mainstream language for the project? OCaml might be better in academic sense as the language itself, but now I talk a

I think this comment sums it pretty nicely: ---> "So, to answer your question about how many wizards C++ has ruined, I can argue that I never bothered to go further in programming due to feeling utterly lost with C++ and Perl." ;-)) How

I think that the advice "be careful who to marry" can be inserted to virtually any "bullet points" article. ;o) This was discussed to HN before - one usually can't learn anything significant from bullet points blog posts (like this one).

In my opinion, it can be called startup because if it will really take off, it will basically require constant maintenance, because the users will always bug with something. In that sense it's a business/startup.

Good work! Impressive results and good speed. Congrates... I don't like the name that much. Your project is promising, I suggest to invest into better name while you are not that well know. Anyway, you are great.

Oh...ok now I apologize for my ignorance. But anyway, it was a bit boring read, wasn't it. I would prefer to listen Bjarne's opinions about C++ or software developing future, etc.

Hi. This is interesting, because I specifically tried to avoid saying that one is better than other. ;-) I asked something else. Ok, so why do you prefer F#? (but please no flame ;-)).
