Of course, the Azure portal can be a beast as well -- if you're the impatient, fast context-switching kind of person that doesn't like to design their dashboard up-front, I can see that it may be frustrating for some.

GCP is pretty easy for simple stuff -- I had good luck just w/Firebase for auth and simple back-end. The Azure learning curve seems to be steady, while AWS at least to me has more (initial and subsequent) hurtles to overcome.

Yes, as a developer I prefer to work in Azure over the others, so I wouldn't say it's an unimportant issue. Maybe there are more greenfield and small devs. going to Azure, and more mature/ported solutions that just scale in c

I hope it's not just for mobile -- PDFs are good for printing, but not much else. Even viewing explicitly-paged documents (esp. w/two columns) is painful. I'll be happy if I can skip all the zooming and panning I have to do o

But I think learning Cobol is only about 25% -- the hard parts are knowing what the legacy codes does vs. what it's supposed to do vs. what you really want to do, understand how and when the Cobol code actually runs on the legacy syste

I agree about Teams - but I don't think it's fair to extend this to Azure or to Microsoft in general as some responses have done. Having been at MS while Teams was being developed, I can say from interactions with those involved t

My guess is that the amounts are large, and there would be less complaints from the participants if the bank holds on to the money longer to maximize their vig. Of course, there could be some off-the-books incentives for deal-makers at the

See also: http://plantuml.com (been around forever) https://code2flow.com/ https://sequencediagram.org/ etc. Well, and all the GraphVis stuff too

Getting visualizations for real-world data-structures is hard -- once you go past toy examples, GraphViz (or anything else I've seen) gets pretty unusable.

As someone who has been programming for 40 years and had a decently successful career but is struggling with these challenges now, I can empathize. It's not so much what the challenge is -- it's how one is asked to accomplish it

I wrote a debugger plug-in a long time ago that used MIDI - it was actually quite useful.

I still have my green & white steel-balled mouse somewhere :) CGA/EGA gfx mode was pretty bad though, so still used EGA text mode in WW until final editing. (But it beat Electric Pencil in all upper case lol.) I really miss the slo

I agree that that is how a parsing & instantiating framework should be built , and you should be able to hook in at any level -- but the reality is that normally when one consumes such data you are using both functions at the same time

But you won't know at parse-time how to tread the item. Below we have duplicate "keys" and an atom in the middle of a k/v list -- what do we do here? Are the dup keys an error, or do we make a multi-map? Do we throw away

No, I did not say that - 3G was slow enough to be bothersome for simple tasks. Not everything is relative. There are absolutes, and there are diminishing returns on investment, and a differences between creating tools that solve problems an

I'm not a vegetarian, but also think that killing an animal when there's another option should be avoided -- and when I grill the IB's, they taste just like meat and even pass the 12 yo test. (The key is on the grill - fried

But (stipulating the attribution is correct) was Bill right?? Okay 640K is a little too far, but have we gotten 25,000 times more value out of the ~25,000 times more memory we now have? One could argue that we could have made much more inge

I'm constantly amazed at how fast my 4G/LTE service is. I had to run my house off of my tethered phone the other day, and browsing seemed faster than cable -- obviously slower overall bandwidth, but good enough and very low latenc

There is not new syntax for LINQ either -- it's just fluent-style via extension methods. I don't know many people that use the SQL-like syntax any more -- and it only covers a tiny amount of the functionality.

It would be helpful if research papers included the publication date prominently displayed in the header/abstract of the paper -- but none of them do. You can get a idea by looking what the paper itself references in the endnotes, but

C# converts to state-machines, F# converts to nested callbacks. (Although this may change, or be optional.)

I see a bright future for satellite de-commissioning craft - I assume by staying in a parking orbit and then zipping around as needed and nudging them out of orbit at just the right time to avoid other satellites and ensure a innocuous (pre

We've had better technology in NLP and problem-solving since the mid-1970's -- and many methods that were deemed intractable are trivial now given that compute is on the order of 1 million times more powerful. Systems that use par

Ok, so most my asm coding and knowledge of exactly what the CPU was doing ended sometime between the Z-80/68K/8086 timeframes. Are there any good books/resources on all the modern trickery that CPUs now utilize?

Doesn't look like the desktop app has any OneNote import/export functionality, so yeah looks like DIY project.

Anybody know how to do MS OneNote integration? I have many years' worth of content there and use on multiple OS's, so I'd rather stay there than use their internal note-taking app, or at least be able to do import/expor
