The real problem here, as usual, is web browsers, the worst class of software ever written. We constantly come across these CSRF-style bugs that are only made possible by how stupid the browser and HTTP are, but instead of blaming the culpr

Rather than try to figure out some classification criteria, use a predictions market. Have surgeons predict their own chance of success. Preferably, gather multiple second++ opinions for each case. The difficulty of the surgery is based on

This was so absurd to me at first I had to think about it for a while. I guess you wrote it as a continuation of the opinion from the article that interfaces should only be used as input. From my perspective, I was still considering all oth

I don't see enough info in the article to conclude what happened. But I have a hypothesis. I bet they use certificate pinning. Process A launches process B and checks against a pinned certificate. This is even more secure than just usi

Seems like sort of a theoretical argument, so I have to point out that I believe it's theoretically wrong. Caveat that I'm not a blockchain programmer so somebody may be able to correct me here, but I believe it's true. Bitco

Nah. The second thing is the main thing. Your first point is just the typical SF exceptionalism narrative that has been touted by the Bay VC startup ideology for the last 20 years. The sad truth is, it's not a coincidence that so many

BCH expected to be 4th since they made written commitment about letting people get at their forked BCH. Adding an order book along with it is common sense.

Not sure what you mean by "delegates can't accept generic type parameters" because you can certainly make a delegate with a <T> in it in C#

Ironically it is essentially the event loop which causes the deadlock in C#. Depending on what framework/runtime you're in .NET will schedule the await continuation on something called a "SynchronizationContext" which ha

Think again--since when do graphs depict only cold, dry data? Graphs have always been useful for depicting relationships--real or proposed. Line graphs in particular are often found depicting proposed relationships rather than real data (th

Maybe part of the problem is I can't picture what you're actually talking about with soft typing. I can tell you C#/.NET has the DLR which allows you to do dynamic types whenever you want. Outside of a few gimmicks, you rarel

I'm not sure what you're saying but I think I've experienced it. Youtube tries to get me to skip parts. I watch parts 1,2,3, it recommends 5 and I have to go searching for 4. Without fail it wants me to skip one.

It's not possible. As soon as WebAssembly gets as big as the web, someone will implement a browser-embedded browser in WebAssembly that runs in the browser and we will be back to square 1 in this kafkaesque nightmare we call Web.

That might look more like graphQL over websockets with realtimes updates. Somebody told me about an already-existing GraphQL with real-time push updates ready-made for integrating with the front-end framework, wish I knew the name of whatev

According to all the generation-war articles, young people don't have any money, so in that view the places desirable to young people would be declining in value. I have a feeling the truth might be simple. Normal home values are mostl

Sorry, the point was you can still rank them but you can build it into the system itself instead of having to parse it out or reverse engineer any information.

Nah, it's different. Google's evil is directly on the opposite side of the coin from their generosity. Google essentially "wastes" money just to promote the web itself. This is because the web is a fairly terrible platfo

Coincidentally I was just using this & Xamarin Studio on mac today. I didn't realize VS Mac had released, I already had the beta. So far I don't like it as much! Not sure what features are here I actually care about as I'

Not really true. They built a new OS-level api called winrt. It includes a subset of win32. However, other parts of it are completely new and do not "call into win32" the way, say, .NET on Windows generally does.

The argument doesn't seem that cogent. The strategy described is what they already tried to do with the Surface RT, a failure which the article briefly mentions and moves on. Nonetheless, there's a truth here about UWP. Applicatio

Using CEF in Mono to serve HTML/js based UI over a mono-C# back-end is very feasible, and results in a superior program which answers most of the Electron complaints in this post. But to answer your question, yes, it's a terrible

That objection could be seen as compatible with the original thesis in the title, though. Equate the need to work with unexpected things on the job, with improvising a job interview. In both cases, you need to expand beyond your knowledge,

Seems like a lot of posters here not catching on, this seems to be a parity thing with the new cross-platform, HTML-based MS Office Add-ins which are pretty sweet and have been out for a while. Unusual for Microsoft to be out in front of th

Some people on the thread (most of whom did not read the article) are reacting like people's rights are being violated here. It's the other way around. There's been a lot of commotion lately about how online games are being r

For the post linked in the headline, those seem like shocking accusations, but the kind I'm now accustomed to taking with a grain of salt. It seems perfectly plausible that the guy legitimately deserves a 6 year sentence for reasons un
