Good point. No, I don't believe that's what they mean there. The OP defines the F# version user as a union of either an activeuser or a deleteduser. The C# idiomatic way would be to use an abstract class and implement two subclass

This. The nullable field and an enum is hardly the standard way to do things in C#. That's like having NULLable fields everywhere in SQL. Assignment checking is pretty simple but would not work if you want to verify the correctness of

Or, you could use a class Hirarchy with a User abstract class and ActiveUser and DeletedUser subclasses and use the type system to enforce the constraints. Using a nullable field and an enum is hardly the standard way in C#.

It's possible to a certain degree, but it's just way way harder then you'd do if you used a proper parser. For example, let's say I want to get all the recent question links off http://stackoverflow.com/q

Good HTML Parsers typically use engines of browsers and will actually match websites very well. They'll let you use selectors and not regex and are a lot more accurate. It also won't break if the website adds a single attribute or

It's amazing how many people get these core principles wrong. I recently visited a C++ shop who hasn't even heard of RAII and don't use smart pointers or standard containers. What a nightmare. It's great to see C++ getti

It's worth mentioning that in some parts of the world (for example Israel) people don't have credit scores and you can't pay a service to find out what their income is. Of course, lying is still mostly unnecessary, especially

The key difference is that software engineering negotiations aren't adversarial and no one wants you to overestimate or underestimate. There are numerous books on estimating software time, I recommend Fred Brook's The Mythical Man

The simplest advice is this: Interview, A LOT, take some time every week/month and schedule several interviews. After the 10th interview you'll have a very good valuation of your worth. This is what I believe OP's biggest mis

IDisposable's dispose is not an async function, there is no IAsyncDisposable interface with language support. There is however, a proposal https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/114 , I'm not dissi

It has the ability to statically check the type system , that's amazing. Moreover async/await with async resource management (which C# doesn't have yet) gives it a real edge for server development.

This tutorial comes with a ppt presentation that explains how to use it. Sadly I do not hold the copyright to that and it's in a foreign language - I do intend to write a new presentation that explains it. We `alert` the query when it

It's pretty interesting that the author did not talk about async/await which gives us back the imperative coding style with futures, effectively solving the problem - it has been adopted by many languages like Python, C# and JavaS

It would be impossible to _actually_ have a feature like this as opt in since it would effectively create two different versions of C#. What the proposal does is emit warnings (and not errors) which is another shame. I'd much rather ha

There is no way they can introduce a breaking change _this big_ into the language. This change effectively breaks almost every big piece of C# code.

It is a general comment about 3-4 specific services we have been using. I'm actually coming to give feedback in IBM in two weeks. If you'd like I can gladly send you a copy of it if you tell me how.

Just buying other companies is nice - but how about we start with APIs that don't 500-error every other request? I <3 all their APIs for Watson but it feels like AWS 3.5 years ago. Reliability counts.

Yes, once HTTP/2 kicks in (what most SPDY actually is now, and what it evolved into) the server can push assets. That makes this feature obsolete. Source: https://http2.github.io/http2-spec/#PushResources

Just because they can translate doesn't mean it's good. If you check out this example: https://github.com/mythz/java-linq-examples/blob/master/READ... it converts 6 lines of readable C# to 20 l
