All of this could have been avoided with more robust filtering capabilities in the hands of users, which Twitter has consistently refused to provide. The big social media platforms should be treated as common carriers, and as such only be r

Didn't mean to imply she was not serious, rather that studying the Principia was a thing in those days, and rather the Surprisingly part of the title of the OP is problematic.

Most people really like the Ionide VS Code plug-in for F#. I still think Visual Studio is better, but VS in its full glory is only available on Windows. Ionide should work for you. As far as starting up F#, I try some of the resources here

F# programmer here. I still find VS superior to anything on VS Code, and a lot of people prefer the VS Code Ionide F# IDE. Most importantly I could do everything in F# I need to do (or can do in VS), debugging, refactoring, interactive test

System.Speech has sadly not been supported since the beginning of .NET (as in dotnet, not the framework ) That pretty much means MS is deprecating it in favor of the Azure speech services...yeah, bummer.

That will be a stretch, since they require different compilers. C# and F# projects in the same solution not good enough?

My experience with F# over 7 years of production coding is for most needs there is already an F# .NET library or wrapper over an OO library. It's mostly only very specialized needs that drive me to an OO .NET library.

Completely do away with dependency injection by using one of the many available F# options, for instance SAFE stack. Should be able to likewise give you a much simpler and understandable config model. https://safe-stack.github.io

Refers to the number of "words", in this case 2 or 4. The term word is not used so much anymore because it's kind of lost its usefulness in modern computer architectures. It used to refer to the size of CPU registers and&#x2F

I'm kind of shocked there's nothing on the front page about Penrose winning the Nobel prize for physics. The guy is really a polymath, even accounting for his outlandish and sometimes discredited theories.

Yeah, wasn't Venice a republic for close to 1,000 years? What ultimately did in Venice was Napoleon conquering all of continental Europe.
