"Are things better now? For most of us, life is easy. We are fed and pampered, kept healthy and alive. We left our planet with our new owners, and never looked back. Perhaps wild humans still roam there. Disease, conflict, poverty, hun

If you're not dramatically excited to code in PHP, don't do it. I'm not comparing PHP vs Ruby/RoR vs some other tech stack, it's just that there are quite many new exciting technologies that might be a better choi

I recommend reading Schopenhauer's Studies in Pessimism and Wisdom of Life to anyone interested in open-minded treatise of the subject so individually complicated as the meaning of the one's own life. It may sound gloomy, potentia

If you're starting a one man project, just take the one you're being the most productive in. If the project is a team effort, then it comes down to the team preferences or team members' willingness to change. From my experien

I wanted to avoid being negative, yet, I see this is a central store to promote government approved and censored books that should emphasize or at best not interfere with the governing ideology. Anything that could challenge the ruling syst

Thanks for the kind reminder. At the same time when the VB was a popular tool, I looked for similar platforms on Linux. Gambas provided very familiar, if not identical syntax, however its Forms editor wasn't as nearly as powerful as VB

I quit programming VB 12 years ago after using it for two years. I still vividly remember its syntax, patterns, forms, adodb/dao stuff. It's as if I never stopped coding in it. I've been into many languages since, ending late

While the world is traditionally looking at the West to lead new scientific advancements, they might be wrong. India and especially China are heavily investing into their science projects which are costing less than comparable projects in t

Dear goodness. And there are tens if not hundreds of people involved in trying to prove/disprove this case and they're all getting some hefty money. What a waste of human intellect and time.

Use the tech you feel the most comfortable/productive to accomplish the task now. It if it's .NET, go with the standard .NET, don't provoke new issues with .NET Core. Test and see how your app will be doing. In three/six

Maybe it has to do something with the fact that Go's grammar is modest in size, being only 25 keywords. Compare that with C99 - 37, C++11 - 84, Rust 52 etc.

I did recently (using Go 1.5) a comparison between three major development platforms using almost the same hardware. Go compilation times were best on OSX 10.11, followed by Ubuntu 15 and Win 8.1, all x64 systems. Anyone observed the same?

I concur. Go syntax is dead simple and even the most basic tools like https://play.golang.org/ can be used without hesitation for some quick and dirt POCs. In the discovery mode, when you're learning a new library, any
