   I'd say .NET is surprisingly immature considering it's age and it's popularity, at least compared to JVM and JS options. Don't get me wrong I think .NET is great, and they've made some smart decisions that allow it

   Your argument seems to pivot from the banks claim that it's too risky to saying that Ripple can solve the volatility problem. While volatility is a big problem, I don't think it's the only (or even the largest) risk to banks

   Thanks for this, this one is very relevant to industry(or at least to mine). The amount of software designs and programs that don't actually fit the technical/business problems from the get go is astounding.

   Yeah, even simple meeting guidelines/policies help make them a lot more productive in my limited experience. Having meetings have explicit action points agreed on at the end (and who's responsible for them) and written down helped

   Which just goes to show how much of a market there is for easily digestible information in this space. Netflix in particular seems to have some really interesting ideas hidden behind unclear blogs(at least for me personally) and long presen

   Would be curious to see Pony added to the mix. It has the best of both worlds for my tastes, from Go: statically typed and native code, and Erlang: actor model, GCd at the actor level. Plus more features that neither has like capabilities.

   This looks amazing and I can't wait to see where it goes. More generally it seems like we've hit a point in cloud computing where instead of just increasing complexity we're getting tools that help us manage it.

   What they are presumably going for is ease of use, Istio uses a pluggable service mesh with Envoy being the most common one, and Linkerd being one of the alternatives. I'm guessing they think Conduit can bring value by being an interga

    So in comparison to C++ would it be correct to say that Box<T> is like unique_ptr<T>, Vec<T> is Vector<T>, and that references are the same in both languages?

    I'm going to try though I'm a neophyte myself. So if we take the example of oil, if you need to buy oil in 6 months time and don't want to be affected by market volatility you can pay a small premium on today's prices to

    This solves the problem of not allowing low level optimisations in interacting with memory that are C/C++ developers bread and butter. Most C# developers won't use it directly, but rather benefit from wide ranging performance incr

    As the article starts out with, Algebraic Anny, Boilerplate Billy etc wanting different things, I wonder if rather than side stepping this issue with a compromise if they could solve it with metaclasses as proposed for C++ https:/&#x2

    For international companies either they import overseas skilled employees to their headquarters (e.g Microsoft) and/or they open up offices in other countries where those skilled employees can work(e.g Google). There's a pretty go

    I think this is poor advice because it doesn't give context. I think unit tests are good for testing logic, and integration tests are good for testing functionality. Lots of complex logic? Then write lots of unit tests. Got a service t

    I would guess that Go's tiny pauses would be less of a concern than it's overhead compared to C, C++ and Rust where there is more room for low level optimizations not available in Go. Not particularly important, I'm just curi

    1. ArgumentNullException, 2. ArgumentException and 5. ArgumentOutOfRangeException shows how badly C# needs more ability to specify/enforce contracts. It's awesome that C# 8 will address the number 1 problem, with non nullable refe

    I completely agree, it is disapointing. On the plus side, I'm hopeful that now that .net (dot net core at least) is OSS, cross platform and maturing things will start changing for the better.

    I wonder if we will eventually see open source projects getting a fair cut from cloud vendors. For example, with AWS both their cache offerings are built on open source (redis and memcached), many of their DB offerings (Aurora and RDS versi

    I think while the technical differences could be resolved the biggest blocker would be cultural. Musk has been super aggresive in rolling out more and more self driving features, where as Google and everyone else seems to be much more cauti

    As a new school developer with an interest in languages, compilers and runtimes, I'm impressed as hell by what they've achieved with JavaScript performance. Doesn't make me dislike JavaScript any less though.

    This is how it works in Australia and it works very well IMO. It also indexes with inflation so that there isn't a major stress if you graduate with a low paying job and work your way up to a higher salary. This does mean its everyone&

    They made $8.8 billion in 2016, I think it's fair to say they expect to make far more than that in 2018. While their US rates may be $7-$12 per subscriber, their international revenue projections may be quite different. For example at

    Bytecode is much closer to source code than machine code (there's a cool discussion about this in https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Going+Deep/Expert-to-Expert-... ) and source code is generally smaller than mac

    I'm curious how RAII approaches relate to this? Would it be considered a form of binary reference counting(where reference counting isn't explicitly used, i.e non shared_ptr code in C++) or it's just completely separate and n

    I think it effectively operates under the heuristic of build only as much muscle as needed(which is why the signals(hormones) are needed), store excess as fat. That makes sense if starvation is the largest risk shaping evolution, but this i

    It's not really about how either party feels, it's about what is professionally/socially and legally acceptable. What he did was wrong, regardless of whether either of them thought it was.
