The ARM machines launched by MS were (1) lacking in power and (2) tied to the Windows Store as a distribution mechanism. Issue 1 is not affected M1 machine, in fact they’re blowing current machine, which is in itself a reason for adopting.

At some point it would be better to just ditch Javascript, which was a mistake anyway, for Typescript or a (non Google controlled) language as default browser language.

I had a talk about that with a relative (soon to be retired teacher, got a decoration for his job). His point of view was that teachers should be viewed as technicians: they are here a apply a method, not to invent new ones. This doesn’t ne

How many aggression wars did Iran starts in modern times? How many the US did? At least three. Your definition and example of a rogue state needs some correction.

Running the same image on dev machine and prod was an illusion brought by the fact the underlying architecture was the same. It’s not reasonable to expect images to magically be cross-architecture.

I use C# daily and most of the time the doc is fine. I agree that sometimes dotnet core docs are a bit messy and frustrating, but still quite good and useful.

UTF-8 has won on the web and file storage. For programming (C#, probably Java too, the Windows API) it’s UTF-16. Good point is it’s an Unicode encoding, bad point is that is variable-size, which look fixed-size for common characters.

Which is, for an US president, an almost unbelievable thing. Especially since he could have used the Iranian missile attacks on US bases to start a war there. He should get a peace Nobel prize for his actions towards world stability, which

Then your are in a position similar to Travis until now: offering a lot of value for free. You need to find a way to monetize the project(s). Only one of all those companies need to give 100 bucks a month to pay for the CI + extras.

French was at some point written more akin to spoken, with variations in-between writers (and sometimes in text too). Now the orthography is hard mainly due to: (1) change in the language not reflected in the writing, (2) etymological speel
