How often is this indexed? I have a great example for today, December 3rd. Yesterday, Salesforce announced a new product, Hyperforce. It's a new way to deploy their product, basically a big deal from a big company. Searching Salesforce

I'm afraid it doesn't. From my understanding, bitcoin and other currencies are just numbers or strings, correct? There are ways to check them on your computer/device to make sure that they are valid, but that is running code

A lot of people are saying to leverage your agriculture PhD, but I don't see people asking if you like agriculture. Is the interest in data science because you want to get far away from agriculture, or just concern that there isn'

The irony derives from using a paid product to keep from having to pay for Spotify songs. Plus the whole username thing.

Anyone else see the irony of fuck-capitalism using Visual Studio, a paid product, to do this? Unless he stole it, of course.

Salesforce pushes this, first with Process Builder, now with Flow. I'm doing a small project for a charity using Flow, as a programmer my main frustration is all the pointing and clicking instead of just typing into an editor, but I ca

I haven't used any of these but recently I went down a rabbit hole of reading about prototype-based vs. class-based OOP, which took me to NewtonScript. It went prototype-based (inspired by Self, the common ancestor of NewtonScript and

How easy would it be to use Julia on a problem that would take advantage of the 16 hyperthreaded cores on my computer? Does it use threads, async/await mechanism, something else? Is it intuitive to use?

Couple of years ago Salesforce switched from Eclipse plug-ins for development and went all in on VSCode. They have a set of plug-ins that log in to Salesforce and send configurations and code back and forth. They're even going to use &
