Threatening others with physical violence after posting pictures of their kids, shit like that, isn't quite the same as a flying dildo though, right?

If you're doing OOP this can mean leveraging polymorphic behavior rather than switching on data or data types. It's good to keep in mind even if it doesn't fit every single case.

I'm mainly a Java programmer here but I like F# a lot. Are there any problems using only F# with .NET Core apps? Do you really need to use C#?

Has anyone tried Xamarin for building mobile apps? Not Xamarin Forms but the lower level tool kit? It sounds pretty good on paper. At work the only negative I heard from one team who tried it is it added too much bloat. But that might just

Maybe but they address this very point by saying the hum is only in the past few decades but tinnitus has been reported for very much longer. No idea how much data there really is either way.

I think that would fall in the third type of report they are planning to sell: "The third report, which they plan to sell, will contain raw data from their assessments for anyone who wants to recreate them."

Umm never? That's not the point. It's not changing (coercing) the type of anything, it's just allowing the call without flagging it as an error. The call at run time might still get passed an undefined and fail. It's lik

>! is just an inline type coercion. Are you sure about that? It sounds more like a signal to the compiler to "trust me, I know what I'm doing" and would blow up if you passed undefined anyway. Maybe the author didn't

The definition of "criminal treatment" is precisely the point here. Merely calling it criminal doesn't make it so.

I find it interesting and funny that this video about metadata turned into one giant metadiscussion of the video with almost no mention of the actual content.

Having a native code dependency in a Node package DOES seem pretty insane to me though, unless absolutely forced. I'm surprised Google would do that.

It's obvious you never worked for a large bureaucratic company having to support many intranet legacy web apps. Of course you can run another browser for the other stuff. This is about the financial costs of software resulting in "

I'm curious what you call it when you add an API to some business functions that run on a mainframe in order to make them available to other external software written Java or .NET, for example. This kind of thing is done all the time i

I have to say I find this line of thinking somewhat incoherent. I'm thinking of cases where someone creates software and also offers an API to enable tooling, alternative interfaces and that sort of thing. Take Github or Microsoft TFS,

Such a "spec" would not be able to describe how systems interact: protocols, failure modes, SLAs, etc. In other words, the kinds of things you want specified when engineering a system. These are also specs

To be fair, planning ahead and getting it right requires a relatively stable specification of the requirements. This is not often found in a typical business environment.

I don't know what it is about water but I run along the lake Michigan shore. The sound of the water lapping against the wall or crashing onto the shore is a great stress reducer.

I disagree but it is tough to reach consensus on this without a real definition being offered, and there was none. You actually are free to express yourself however you like without violating laws or the civil rights of others. All I heard
