I came from C++, where accidentally changing the wrong header file resulted in a 2 hour long build cycle. No thanks. Modern C++ has its good parts, but Go has made me enjoy the profession again.

Sure, but Go has enabled a lot of great software in a very short amount of time. If you are in the cloud business, you'd better take a serious look at Go if you don't want to be out competed. It hits a sweet spot between performan

As a former MFC/Winforms/WPF/Qt now turned Angular developer, this is really sparking my interest. I would love to back to writing great desktop applications. Problem is, most of my projects nowadays require a multiplatform G

Our 172 was 38$/hour wet in 1991, 43$ for the IFR equipped one as well as for the Citabria, 28$ for the 152 and the Tomahawk. Times have changed.

Not true for me at all. The underlying patterns of basically everything are quite valuable, so I'd say it's closer to 90%.

I have no idea. Probably longer. But it is the same idea. The big gains come from going back to the simpler server side programming model. I'm working on a big Angular application right now for which something like Live View would be t

Yes, there are two Blazor variants. Serverside Blazor is basically the same thing as Phoenix Live View, client side Blazor is providing some optimized Mono runtime as webassembly.

Well, most of them love the flying part itself. Problem is everything else. With software development it's just the opposite. The perks are great, but the actual work can be very boring...

But is he happy? That's the big question (I used to be a fixed wing flight instructor, poor but happy).

I've been on a pilot track in my former life, but got out due to bad eyesight, which made it risky to invest more. Now I've been a software developer for 20 years, but it doesn't make me happy. It's an ok job and provide

If you start on the wrong path, optimizations can only go so far. That's why Android still sucks after all those years of investments. That's why IntelliJ is stills slow as a dog, even on the most beefy modern machine. I wish Jetb

Off topic, but Beej's Guide is how I want my ebooks formatted. I wish other publishers would take note. Safaribooks, Packt, Manning, Amazon - their ebook formats all suck. Just use HTML with a little syntax highlighting, that's al

It's not that hard to find out which Hardware works well with Linux and which doesn't. I'm running Ubuntu 1804 on a Dell 7740 as well as on a Thinkpad 450 without any problems whatsoever. And if I was based in the US, I&#x27

I just switched from GNOME to KDE. Both are great desktops but KDE and especially Dolphin do so much more out of the box.

What about NATS Streaming? Is it a viable alternative (now at version 2.0) to Kafka?

Do not listen to this P.O.S. The more I learn about the world, the more I'm convinced I'm living in paradise (Europe). Our chinese coworkers hate 996 as much as anybody, but social pressure keeps them in the rat race. This is tota

Are there any ready made components available yet? Something similar to PrimeNG or Vuetify?

Another Austrian here. The problem is not the rate per se, but the fact that those tax evasion practices of international conglomerates put local small and medium businesses at an unfair and unjustified disadvantage.

2018 was a fantastic year for me. Changing jobs allowed me to get away from C++/MFC programming, which I absolutely hated. Now I'm working with fresh and exciting technologies, such as Go on the backend and Angular/PrimeNG on

It's the common language that divides us ;) (I'm Austrian)

There is a need for GUIs on Linux IOT devices running on ARM. I would love to be able to use Delphi/Firemonkey for that.
233.
by zeroc8 9y ago
Yeah, but now you can use ReactXP for that, just like the Skype team does. And it runs on UWP, Android, IOS and Web.

Did you see C++/WinRT? https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/mt745094.aspx Now that looks promising.

I would happily pay. So would many others. Things do not need to be free, they just need to be priced within reason.

by zeroc8 10y ago
Don't think it needs to be free. Just priced reasonably. Jetbrains seems to be thriving. And their IDEs do not cost thousands of Euros.
237.
by zeroc8 10y ago
Can't do much with free. It's a waste of time. Give us some affordable professional options (i.e. Windows only professional for 300 bucks or so). Have a look at Jetbrains, they have figured it out.

I used to flight instruct in my twenties. Couldn't make a decent living in aviation and had to switch to something else. Software development has its benefits, but having an office in the cloud beats everything else.

C++ - I've started at a new company whose main product consists of 2 million lines of C++/MFC code. It's a pain in the ass and I'm hating my life now, but it pays the bills...

Hey, I'm an Austrian and I'm sitting here in an office with a bunch of Eastern Europeans who have a hard time understanding my dialect. When things get rough, we just switch to English. Problem solved ;)
