To be completely honest, I don't really see why something like this is so novel and outrageous. It is as if everyone has forgotten why and how companies like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Twitter, etc.. are able to provide what they do for f

It's not an "enhancement." It uses OAuth in a completely standard way. It was done to avoid people entering their Windows Live usernames and passwords all over the place, especially now considering how much can be tied to a WL account with

I'd argue that F# is especially well-suited for a system with tons of components talking to each other. You have things like async workflows and message-passing built-in, along with the ability to do everything C# can do. I've been using F#

Single person testing on a single prototype device vs a team testing on a custom-built test device that was designed after going through and capturing the behaviors of many devices. Guess which one will work better with a wider range of dev

Degrees are usually a signal about how well the person is expected to perform. A degree from a top school with a decent GPA means that not only was this person select among many to attend, but they also managed to go through it okay. That i

The problem with these "Why I love blank language" is that they don't really address real-world usages. Sure, syntax overviews and cherry picked examples that show a quicksort in 5 lines are wonderful but no one writes quicksort. What about

While that's a very good example of what F# can do, I think the real value proposition of F# is that it can use anything from .NET. Take something like this for example: open System open System.Collections.Generic open System.Refle

While I never sit down and write out a formal proof, I always think about it and always check the implementations of standard library functions that work on collections before using them. The real value of Bio-O isn't knowing how to prove t
