What ? Xamarin is defacto Microsoft Xamarin, it's even integrated in to their domain and Xamarin Studio got rebranded to Visual Studio Mac. Github is a separate issue, they can't rebrand without huge value loss.

Github is actively merging features of Azure DevOps and they plan to merge the two eventually, also business model changes, integration with VS Code, Azure, etc. Github is actively within Microsoft ecosystem and all for the better of both s

That's not how it works, apps follow what customers want - Android exists and apps go trough play store and Google payment.

This is very interesting and entertaining - it's like someone spliced sci-fi AI monologue with an existential philosophy novel. Btw. I'm not a native English speaker - is this sentence correct : "Is a cat a animal?" Shou

They mention no increase in academic performance, since those other traits should positively impact that as well I'm guessing it's not transferable.

Is your workflow OSX specific ? I switched to MBP and OSX 2 years ago for iOS development but OSX has been getting slower and slower with each update. And I'm running a 15" i9 with 32gb ram and Vega 20 - I see noticeable UI lag on

A couple of years ago I remember seeing a video where a Google engineer said they were working on CUDA to AMD compilers and a push to standardize CUDA - what happened to that ? Or am I misremembering something ?

I think experience (learning where to search) is a part of it. But a lot of the software I was working with 10 years ago was not open-source - these days I can look up the source all the way to OS level when doing Android stuff for eg. And

I would say equal amount of time is being wasted even if you work less hours but public sector tolerates less being done. For example your morning windup routine is the same, your lunch takes the same time, you need to go to bathroom, point

If you look down that thread there's a first valid argument against this : breaking down the "productivity increase" by industry shows the huge growth comes from software, also if you look at how they track productivity in ma

Well it should be faster if you're replacing the VM layer and running docker on top of bare metal kernels, in theory you could use a cheap dedicated hosting provider to host a K8S cluster and probably outperform a managed cloud offerin

Disgrace of what ? Mafia owned Italy ? Industry owned Germany ? Tax heaven Ireland ? The only difference is that in poorer countries corruption is less sophisticated - but EU is plenty corrupt all over.

I came to TS after years of C#, all the way back to .NET 2.0 and WinForms. TBH TypeScript is just better than C# for the job it does - DOM control and gluing data - structural typing that's backed by a dynamic runtime is a much better

That is the new Microsoft - selling cloud services and subscriptions while developing a ton of OSS - naturally they are doing this for profit - but their incentives are now aligned with OSS instead of being in direct conflict.

I should have put "experimenting" in quotes - just saying there is no evidence this is based on gender ideology so insinuating it is also spinning this in to ideological terms.

It depends on the motivation, if it was ideologically motivated I would be outraged at the ideology that lead to it and people justifying it, just like I would be outraged at state of high school sports that lead to a coach doing this and p
