+1... ASP.NET / ReactJS.NET has been great for me. I've done so many small->med projects on ASP.NET MVC / EF / SQL with some F# mixed in for fun and it just works. Toss in ELMAH for easy error logging. Testing + dep

Did this tutorial not cover everything you needed for VSCode? https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python Also, not sure if you are on Windows, but regular VS + PyTools makes for a fantastic python IDE.

Yes, but you probably won't be any good. I started piano when I was 23/24 with the goal of wanting to play Jazz / improvise and quickly realized that the biggest challenge is lacking the technical skills to translate the &q

Expressions of various kinds - Async, seq, query, etc; record type "constructors"... that's all I can think of off the top of my head. F# in general is a beautiful language though, I can't say I've ever thought abou

You could simply go ahead and give the scathing code review, if you wanted. I used to work with a few senior engineers like that who were extremely sharp and, shall we say, point-blank with their feedback. But their feedback was always ab

I was referring to its terseness, simplicity, extensibility and the large ecosystem surrounding it. I said that Django is a better framework for this reason, not your straw man reason. You're going to have to link me to the comment

Seems to work just fine for StackOverflow... Then again, maybe 560M pageviews per month on 9 web servers isn't nearly enough for your high-level app requirements. They've stayed with ASP.NET MVC since at least v3 back in 2008.

F# 4.0 makes me excited to be using the language even more. I just started learning back in December after not really enjoying my Python learning experience and have found F# to be such a joy. Your book is one of three at my desk. I&#x27

Upvoted because you can be a blowhard/divisive at times, but this was all pretty solid. If you don't like it, then stop doing it. That's not giving up. That's choosing not to do something that you don't enjoy. Mos

My primary annoyance when reading Wikipedia is when authors will generalize the opinion of two or three cited sources into something like "...many scholars believe X." At that point they're lending more credence to a stateme

It's interesting that you view things that way, because my opinion is basically flipped. Eclipse is an absolute displeasure to work with (the default IDE for most Java programmers), and don't even get me started on AbstractFactor

F# async and parallel programming (Async.parallel, Agents/Mailboxes, Array.parallel.map, etc) are vastly superior to C# right now. Every latest C# iteration has repeatedly borrowed everything great from F#, that should be a sign alone

I had just stumbled on this C# 1.1 parser written in F# yesterday. I'm not sure if a syntax-tree and parser in 350 lines is decent, but I can at least see what you're talking about in regards to ML/OCaml being well-suited fo

Why is it a surprise that people are having a crisis of trust when they are inculcated by science and Rational Thinkers™ that nothing is to be trusted? It seems to me that the worldview based on science alone (which is highly prevalent amon

Intellectually gifted individuals can be quite adept at rationalizing their behavior and deluding themselves (and drowning others) with logical-sounding word vomit. This is evident as they get lost in the details of their rationalizations,

LEGO pricing in general has been inflated recently. Flippers and 3rd-party Amazon sellers know this, so they buy up all the stock to resell via Amazon FBA. It's a LEGO bubble right now with a lot of artificial demand. Some of these

I always see anti-aging research as an expression of our inbuilt need for hope and significance (a desire to be known for eternity). It's far more philosophical than scientific. Many have concluded there is no meaningful eternity,
