purple is the point.

I was so amazed at the load time of this site! They are on to something...

I think what he is saying is that the media has painted the Republican Party as the party of homogeneity that supports the majority of people here (typically Caucasian and older). Recently it also portrays them as wanting to scale back certain civil rights/liberties.

Whether or not there is truth to these portrayals is a rabbit hole I dare not enter this morning :)

Oh great. As if there isn't already enough to further entrench the two party system.

Not you, the solo developer, but maybe a team at BigCo currently running their own datacenter or a hybrid.

Harsh. No. I just had no idea and would be honestly curious. Just as I would be of any other job I never knew existed!

I think I would thoroughly enjoy job shadowing this person. I'm very curious as to what their day to day activities would be!

Until all programming languages coalesce into one super language (ECMAScript 20 in the year 2050), programmers will bash languages and programmers will praise languages.

Until that fateful day we must all accept criticism of our favourite language even though we are so smart and know it's the best language.

I think its naive to believe that even the most tech savvy are immune to phishing. People get tired, hurried, stressed - and during those moments anyone's guard can be let down.

"We have now lots of choices, except the choice that was the default for most of human history: have a boring job, marry, have kids, see the kids have boring jobs themselves, and die."

Really? I'd say we have an easier time accomplishing this than a medieval peasant - if we wanted. I'd buy it if you told me people chose not to live this way - but i don't think it is any more difficult to live this way.

I'd have to disagree. More and more constrained as compared to what time in history?

Video games, and all the media choices available we have are a direct result of not being constrained.

And supposing that we are playing more and more video games why is that sad?

Why is that frightening as opposed to any other older web server code/api that is out there? Or even newer code for that matter?

You should seek to understand the importance of older technology and the problems it solved rather than judging the individual for feeling pride in knowing it.

If more people did this we wouldn't be solving the same problems over and over again.

Javascript Developer: SPA/PWAs are better!

Swift Developer: Native apps are better!

Reality: both will be around for a long time and both have their appropriate use cases. At some point they may converge but we are far from it.

Also, creating any app (web or native) and hoping to achieve widespread success is a gamble.

Problems we have and may never be able to solve until a collapse:

- Electoral college - YES only a few states decide the president! Everyone else should just stay home!

- 2 Party system - LOOOOONG campaigns flood money into the two major party candidates - no one else will ever have a chance

- Term Limits - they would have to vote for it themselves when they ALWAYS significantly increase their net worth while in office

- Open primaries - If we could all vote for primary candidates REGARDLESS of party, we would have more centrist choices and not lunatics.

Thanks for your comment.

Nice. I remember when I was begging my manager to switch from our classic ASP/JScript/MS SQL/Java Applet stack to .NET and he refused saying that it was not mature enough. Good Times.

I think webforms, or JSF, or coldfusion at the time served a critical purpose. In the early 2000s most of the growing web was indeed just forms with state (much of it still is).

It's obviously changed much since then with client-side heavy rich applications, but those technologies at the time were very successful in RAD for basic CRUD, e-commerce, or basic data display.

Is it just me or are hello worlds getting much longer - especially on web platforms?

I think this is a fair assessment. You can't really say .NET Core carte blanche without these kind of parameters. Especially if the enterprise space is primary on windows servers. I think having an understanding of both would be ideal.

The easiest and quickest way for the Private Equity company to make your business more profitable is through layoffs. They eventually want to sell the company to make a profit for their investors. In many cases this requires layoffs.

Maybe the former method would make more sense to use if it were HasCoordinates and returned a Boolean?

This way you would get a Boolean if the coordinates exist and would not have to perform validation on the out variables.

Isn't there a psychological aspect to this - that if you are on the cutting edge of languages/frameworks, that you believe you will have an edge over everyone else and a chance to be better for a period of time at least? This is of course typically ignores whether the cutting edge can actually solve problems better than mature languages/frameworks.

Why do you need managers if there is no one to manage.

This is legacy. Lunch is usually not included in the US so 8-5 if you take an hour lunch or 8:30 - 5 if you take a half hour lunch.

I think Web API was just intended to be a lightweight replacement for RESTful API in WCF. WCF does so much more, the most popular probably being SOAP, but I believe it does much more in the messaging, queue, workflow space as well.

Why is Trump the Republican nominee?

To answer these questions, we must only look into the mirror.

This is exactly why i am apprenticing as an HVAC technician on the side. I dont believe there is longevity in this position over the next 10-20 years.

I would probably use this instead: https://dotnet.github.io/

I believe the author's tone is what is getting you here. They really should have phrased the comment like "I'm really happy with a C# .NET backend because of a,b,c. What advantages would Go have over this backend to make it worthwhile for me to investigate?" This would have been a more useful comment.

People invest time in their languages so it's easy to subtly inject emotions into comments that come off snarky and unproductive. Then other supporters of the language just defensively click the up arrow.

There was a lot of this in the WASM articles where they were saying it will kill off Javascript.

Good article. Disconcerting that all of the comments are from men though...
