Yes, some code formatting tools exist (within Visual Studio as part of F# Power Tools, and also I believe standalone in some binary form). However, as a community we're currently a little less dogmatic than Go (for example) about what

Quite, and it has the enormous advantage that I can extract all data using nothing more than an XML parser, rather than having a two stage [parse XML -> parse embedded DSL] parser for special cases. Even the media aspects of the srcset c

Sometimes I feel like I'm on a different planet to readers of publications like the WSJ: "we all "know" that tight deadlines lead to inspiration" Do we? I've never thought that. It's always seemed

We haven't failed him. While the old "may not agree with what you say but I'll defend to the death your right to say it" trope gets used here, it doesn't mean you need to protect people from the consequences of thei

I haven't been paying overly close attention, but all of the reaction I have seen has generally been blog/twitter based expressions of sadness/disappointment/betrayal. Has it really escalated far beyond that? (Genuine qu

I'm quite happily self-employed at the moment, but good grief - if I wasn't, this is exactly the kind of thing I'd love to read if I was seeking a new challenge. Kudos for your clearly serious commitment to openness, and even

I'm old enough. I think that's why the parent qualified with "properly functioning"!

Seems rather generational and perhaps somewhat geographical as well. Perhaps more prevalent in the US? I'm not sure how this would even reliably work - you're rather relying on automatic wrapping never looking like a line break, e

Or, to put it another way, why are you so averse to investing in people/your company that you're looking for the finished article on the job market, rather than finding good people and helping them learn the specific skills you ne

There are some rather key differences though don't you think? I imagine as a reasonably valued software engineer you weren't likely to face disciplinary action or loss of employment for not picking fast enough, thus negating a hug

If you're drafting legislation around roaming, why not write in reasonable competition provisioning while you're there? It won't be legal if we don't want it to be.

It's a great talk, and I wish I'd seen it. I found myself nodding quite a lot, despite not being a designer (though I used to play one before I got in to tech/code). And in many ways he's right. But I did find myself que

In my own case, I'm planning on buying an iPad. I'm not though, because I don't know when the next one is coming out. The "fixed-ish" release cycle can work against you in this way - I don't know how many peo

I'm not sure this is true. Oh, I don't argue with your point about the historical facts of restriction, but I do think that the internet is still far from regulatable. The story is still really that politicians believe it is - it

It seems like some quite strong claims are being made for the AI side of this here. Especially around things like adaptive understanding/learning. Using language like "aware" and "autonomous" is either inaccurate or

I didn't think from reading it that the two groups at MS were the same - I assumed they were independent parts of the org, in which case it was fairly clear that this was an idea that various people have had without direct communicatio

True, as someone who's done a bit of hiring, if you're meeting someone, you're still considering them as possible - you don't waste your time many times before getting pickier. Two years isn't a hard and fast rule -

Hmmm. I'm not one of the people you're really looking for here, but I could take a stab at reasons why I haven't been beating a path to your door... a) I haven't really heard of you. A few words here and there over the y

Well, yes .NET (IIS, specifically) does have a poor default (or rather, the default *.config files created by things like VS have poor defaults). However, hiding the error isn't really enough. Yes, it doesn't expose very many things. But it

It looks rather good! But I do wonder if I'm the only person who was more than a little put out once I found it was the "hostage" model of open source - i.e. pay us enough money and we'll release this. Of course, there's nothing to say you

Well, yes, I guess there'll always be clients like that. I've generally been quite fortunate that I've been able to be fairly selective in life about who I work with/for, and I've rejected as many clients (more in fact) than have rejected m

I used to work for a guy who often used to say to me (as the head of tech-y stuff) "customers don't care what it's running on if it works - it can run on wet string and sellotape as long as the customers are happy it's doing what it's suppo

The part that I particularly like actually is slightly different to that: > "They'll see untargeted ads, which will look like spam. We have to get this information to them somehow." Oh really, you have to get this information to me? S
