That's probably because TypeScript has more in common with CoffeeScript than Dart as a language. Dart is a full featured language that can stand on it's own and has it's own runtime. TypeScript is a superscript of javascript

Yet, upon second reading, I think the intention was probably more to cast Bitcoin as a wild-west, do-at-your-own-risk, good-luck-to-ya type of asset to work with. I think the message was meant more for banks and investors. Isn't that

Digital currency is a huge threat to the Fed if successful, so it will need to be dealt with in some capacity. Right now, I suspect they are hoping it is a fad or a toy that will go away. The primary function of the Fed is to be a stabili

"Most scientists think it's safe" is indeed an appeal to authority. Instead of fear mongering and appeals to reason, let's introduce some real facts into the conversation: http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines&#x2

That's too bad. You missed out on some good points. Avoiding something because of the programming language can be a very reasonable decision. Personally, I could probably hack on some PHP if I really needed to, but I want to avoid p

If all you want is a few doge, set a computer to mine for the afternoon. Even on a relatively weak computer, you'll end up getting a couple hundred doge. EDIT: I only do this as part of a pool. I don't know how it is for solo mi

Okay so the functionality definitely isn't there yet. Just planned. That definitely doesn't qualify it as "wordpress with superpowers." It's just a blogging platform with aspirations at this point.

This is a pet peeve of mine. When someone talks about having their idea stolen, it really bothers me. It especially bothers me if they tell me "now don't steal my idea, but..." I don't want your idea. I have too many o

The mono C# compiler has been written in C# from the start, and this proved to be very helpful. I remember at the conference where Anders Hejlsberg first discussed Roslyn (which encompasses rewriting the microsoft C# compiler in C#), Migue

Now this is fricken awesome. I can imagine all sorts of instances where this is applicable. What about as a replacement for a notary public in some cases? Very nice work, and a genius idea.

Yes, you make a good point. I did get the market rate back then. The only problem here is that I had different expectations, and expected a more immediate turn around. I'm not sure if waiting a week is really sustainable as a purcha

It sounds like your experiences are seeing people who don't really know the tool and / or the framework. To someone who knows both, intellisense (especially adding in resharper) can be a huge productivity increase. Snippets are p

I'm mainly a web developer, so I'm biased towards that stance, but I've had to work on LoB programs in web (mvc), winforms, and wpf. Winforms was the worse. I hope I never have to work with one again. WPF was a lot better t

This is interesting. Do you know who controls these public addresses? I know in the past I've seen filtered connections to 192.x.x.x thinking that it would get only internal connections then. The owners of these public addresses coul

This is exactly the case they are in. If you look at it from the typical tea-party perspective, they were in a win-win situation. Either get concessions on AFA, or shut down the government, which in their view is the root of the problem t

WinRT was definitely a screw-up, but at this point I don't see it really effecting developers that much. WinRT has pretty much failed as a platform. At this point, is it even worth developer time to deliver an app to that platform? I

Isn't most of their DRM encryption based? I mean, it's not all that restrictive, and it's quite possible that simply seeing the code for the DRM would not be enough to circumvent it. I think other companies would have a pro

I've ran into this a little bit as well, but I feel the benefits far outweigh the disadvantages. Once you understand the basics, your code becomes so much cleaner. You do have to be careful for hidden pitfalls, like an accidental N+1
