   I'm doing an internship at a logistics company, and we're building projects in .NET. They're keeping us away from the Cobol, but part of me really wants to learn it. There are a lot of Senior Devs who only work in Cobol, and

   Cool! Can it hook up with .Net core eventually?

   I'm not sure. I see so much money being poured into making scripting languages faster [0], and with the "End of Moores Law" in sight I feel like the industry is going to be leaning towards static languages [1]. Perhaps develo

   That's really interesting. Do you have any suggestions on some further reading?

   Reading Antifragile is life changing. It is very well written. I can't comment on how profound the maths are (although his arguments appear very solid), but the stuff he says about stoicism and morality is fantastic. As others have sai

   I just started Death's End! Great books so far, though The Dark Forest felt very slow compared to The Three-body Problem.

    I highly recommend using f.lux to adapt screen colors at night. It makes reading some pages harder once it goes into full candle-light mode, but I take that as a signal that I need to start getting ready for bed!

    Kindof misleading title. This is about writing etherium contracts.

    Pretty neat consequence of Flutter using Dart is that one can write an App studio and use it in the browser!

    I'm learning C# and .NET at my summer internship and I feel like I'm falling in love. Visual Studio and Resharper just make it an awesome experience. We do WinForms at work but I want to make a side project for multiple platforms

    Does flutter have a canvas yet? Whats the story for making arbitrary custom components, like a draggable rectangle that can be moved around a grid?

    Really cool bit of history! I keep coming back to the idea that studying Photoshop is a great way for learning about how to engineer desktop applications and GUIs. Discovering Sean Parent's _Better Code_ lecture series has been a dream

    I think the whole 'hot-module-reloading' thing is pretty compelling, but its possible to do apart from a JS environment (see flutter for instance). The library that Vuido runs on, libui, has bindings to all kinds of languages: ht

    I think the coolest thing about this is that it's using libui [1], so whether you're trying to work on Proton Native, or Vuido, or any other flavor of NodeJS-to-Native-GUI [2], we'll hopefully end up contributing to a single

    The authors even concede that goto may be useful if not dangerous: Perhaps goto is too valuable to let go; or letting it go results in code that is more complex than simply using it judiciously.
