This has been asked about for nearly as long as Mono and WPF have been in coexistence. I would say there's very little chance this will happen. However, a recent update in the WPF world is MS has actually been ramping their WPF team ba

To build it? Yes. To run it? No. Go apps don't require a runtime. The only thing necessary is distributing the platform-specific binary.

Having a stranger's arm on top of mine is worse than next to mine. Furthermore, elbonics ( http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Elbonics ) usually results in a single person claiming the armrest. That will no

They had the implementation, yes. But the idea predates Mono's implementation. I can't find any references offhand but I do believe Roslyn inspired the Mono team. Roslyn has been in development for a very long time.

There are also Red and Yellow flavors of Soylent, from the movie. Green is the "new and improved" flavor. And though I haven't been able to source a direct reference, I think the connotation is only the new, Green flavor has

I've done a lot with both ESRI and the open source alternatives. I created zigGIS. With that said, the side you dont read about is that Mr. Dangermond - outside the ESRI compound - is generally considered a very cutthroat personality.

A highly engineered network of lights, signs, warnings, and all other sorts of traffic guidance actually makes pedestrian and vehicle travel less safe. It's a psychological phenomenon - discussed here: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/1

One big difference is caffeine is a drug and having a chemical dependence is different than impulse. I have nothing to back this up, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a cognitive dissonance between reasoning about a coffee purchase an

It's called Query by Example and there are quite a few DB management GUIs that have it. I found it pretty intuitive for setting up joins by right-clicking join lines and setting the particular properties of that join. Of course now that I

You made my point much more succinctly than I. Mainly, this type of candidate testing tells you very little (positively or negatively) whether they're strong developers. Consider an OS developer - the person may have never EVER been expos

If the position you're filling is directly dependent on more-than-average SQL experience - creating a DB driver, an ORM, for ex. - then SQL-specific questions are applicable. But, by and large, this type of specific-knowledge testing is no

In the grand scheme of things, this isn't a very big deal? Actual "space" flight requires many multiples of this speed. And isn't the main goal of Virgin Galactic to ferry tourists into space?

Illy is my favorite bean. It's just so damn expensive in the US ($15 - $20 for a standard size bag). Ironically, in Italy, it's considered the cheap, everyman's coffee.
