C# is great, no question. The Roslyn stuff is also great.

But if you also need other libraries or systems then things get thinner. For most cloud providers that aren't called Azure the .NET support usually is behind. A lot of popular libraries are either written in Java, Javascript or Python with maybe an outdated unmaintained .NET wrapper. Most CI/CD pipelines are not geared towards .NET.

To me MS is a warm cozy place but the open source world is more chaotic and much richer.

The most profitable news paper in my country, didn’t have a website with articles or news stories on it until earlier this year. Their page was something from the 90ies (it was probably newer), and all it really offered was info about the paper and a way to buy it.

What they do, that other Danish papers don’t, is write lengthy meaty articles that takes time to read because they actually teach you something new. There was a story on Trumps connections to Russia, it was three full pages long, and we’re talking old school news paper format, so that’s what? 10 a4 pages worth of text?

The paper only comes out once a week, because it takes time to write, but also because it takes time to read.

I’m not sure where I am going with this, I just think it’s interesting how they’ve increased their subscription amounts while not really giving two shits about the bullshit web.

They may give two shits about the bullshit web now of course, having gotten a webpage with articles. I don’t know though, I’m a subscriber, but I haven’t visited their site yet.

I've been developing with .NET since 1.1. The initial appeal of ASP.NET WebForms was due to the fact that you could build software similarly to the way you build Windows desktop based apps. State was managed in an unmanaged environment. You didn't have to worry about varying browser capabilities / quirks due to the lack of standardisation at the time.

Fast forward a few years and all of a sudden you have browser standards and amazing MVVM frameworks. Everything you needed ASP.NET for was no longer required.

I still work on enterprise .NET systems and it's no surprise as to why startups look to alternatives. Sure the tooling is amazing but so are many of the other tools out there. After using simple web frameworks like AdonisJS I see no real reason for building your service layer (let alone your app layer) in .NET.
Why do you think they will be more (as opposed to less) efficent? Also, particular stacks attract a particular type of developer, and some are better than others. In particular, a lot of the ones that are good have been switching to Linux for the past decade and a half, and once you do that, going back to Windows is such a non-starter. It also doesn't help that Windows dev work typically pays substantially less.

Stacks also have the varying number of "batteries" included, and on Linux, the Microsoft stack comes with very few "batteries".
> If you're talking credit cards

Yes

> I don't know anyone that discriminates against the different types but it is very possible because you can get that info from the PAN.

Yes, this was my question, i.e. I'm wondering if merchants can be charged different rates for the same kind of card (e.g. for Visa signature credit cards coming from different issuers or having different perks) consistent with contracts/laws/other practicalities, not just from a strictly technical standpoint. (Any what the relevant reasons might be.)
.NET Core is open source and is the flagship development environment for Microsoft. They have no other alternative and have publicly announced multi-year roadmaps and support agreements spanning nearly the next decade.
> If I can get my engineers 3% more efficient at the cost of making my hosting 30% more expensive I will do this in a heartbeat.

How do you quantify engineers’ productivity? A Java or a Python developer (much easier to find than a .NET developer) will be a lot more productive in Java or Python. And it is not a universal fact that .NET developers are more productive than others. Python developers would argue the other way round.

I expect this will be one of the problems with self driving cars. People will simply walk in front of them crossing the street whenever they want, knowing they won't be hit.

Comparing their ownership to a state sounds like a lot, until you realize that Maryland is 12,400 square miles and that 12.4 million acres is really only 19,400 square miles (if my math is correct). Just a reminder that Alaska is 665,384 square miles by itself. So put in those terms, over the entire land mass of the US, Weyerhaeuser doesn't look so out of balance.

> the same kind of card...where the only difference was the card perks

The same card means the same perks. You're describing two different cards. They may be similarly branded. But they're different cards to the interchange and different cards (from a rewards perspective) to the consumer.

If you think someone is "avoiding the question," it might be you're miscommunicating.

I won't speak for all users but I've used it to accept payment for selling used stuff on gumtree (very handy for this). It's also very useful for sending money overseas which I've also done. I don't think I'm a special case which is why I wouldn't miss the forest for the speculators and dismiss the motivations of millions.

I also live in a country that wants to pursue land expropriation without compensation based on skin colour. Having a bank account that no one but me can access is quite appealing right now.

US agriculture subsidies are not colossal in fact. They're about $20-$25 billion per year. They shouldn't exist at all ideally, however given the immense size of the US agriculture market, and how critical it is to keeping hundreds of millions of people alive, it's hardly a concerning sum.

By contrast, EU farm subsidies in a smaller economy are three times that size. If the US farm subsidies are colossal, I'm not sure what you'd call 3x colossal.
Compared to popular open-source options like Python, Javascript, and Java:

- Linq is great but less unique than it once was, and almost everyone has async and await (or some equivalent) now -- javascript & friends and python almost exactly, and Java has a wealth of options in this arena.

- .NET is "multiplatform", but clearly second-class in terms of tooling and perf on non-windows platforms.

- Congratulations on the open-source licence?

- This one is legit, but other languages do some pretty interesting stuff too

- VS might be ahead in this regard, but Java IDE's aren't far behind, and even the dynamic languages are starting to get really impressive tooling.

I have used and liked .NET, but I have no need to pay the premium it imposes. .NET is just another very capable platform among very capable platforms -- and then throw in the single-ecosystem thing.
.NET is demonstrably a great environment (judging by effectiveness) and licensing is hardly an issue since .NET core. So it must be partly cultural. First of all, unless you have macbooks, you're not really a startup. and if you're a new developer who needs to pad out the CV, naturally you will be attracted to the most buzzwordy tech stack available - if it isn't dockerised scala->graphql->redis->whatever so you can code while you code, nobody's gonna hire you afterwards man.

Also that awkward, sad reaction when you reveal to other burgeoning developers that you work in .NET
I don’t think there is anything wrong with user agents downloading resources (like images and stylesheets) linked to by an html document. It is the providers, not the user agents, who have violated the trust of users by including unnecessary scripts, fonts, spyware, advertisements, etc.

a blackout lasting more than a week...

At 12 volts, a one-amp lamp draws 12 watts. A 24kwH battery ($5500 last year) will power this lamp (neglecting losses) for 2000 hours. Say, 80 days.

So, used all day, 48 watts will last last 20 days, 96 watts 10 days. Used half-time, you'd get about a week at 200 watts. Two hundred-watt light bulbs for 10 hours a day.

Point being: solar power is great, but for -survival- purposes, our 2000kWh/month habits can't be sustained.
Do not forget — Microsoft licence costs also increase with the number of CPU cores in your server.

In addition to costs themselves, Microsoft licensing is a highly complex topic. One of my colleagues who deals with Microsoft jokes that someone well versed with MS licensing deserves a PhD.

No, you're not reading what I wrote. I said the "same kind of card", not the "same card". I clearly said by "kind" I was referring to regular/Signature/whatever. We have two cards that might come from different issuers (maybe Citi vs. Chase), and/or have different points or cash back or other such perks for the cardholder (maybe 2% cash back vs. 5x points), but we assume both are Visa Signature credit cards, processed by the same merchant, in the same manner, for the same product, at the same (approximate) time, in the same location, by the same person, for the same person, for the same price, etc... and I'm asking if they the merchant can be charged different fees for these cards. These are, clearly, not the "same card". Is this clear?

I don't buy this because it discounts the high costs of cash controls.

Cash has high costs that likely make electronic forms of payment competitive.

You have

- Employees skimming the till;

- Theft insurance for a safe, the nightly amount in the safe

- Managers balancing the cash registers with change/safe

- Armored trucks picking up the money (2-3 men guarding the transfer)

- Banks processing the money

- Employee time and frustration ensuring they didn't come up short

tldr; It takes one armed robbery or employee malfeasance before ~2% fees seem very much worth it to reduce cash on hand.
I've seriously never heard of this, and am middle aged and married with kids, and lots of married friends.

A few friends had 2-3 tiered cakes, but they were always real cakes, just quite boring internally (plain vanilla sponge). At most, there were posts through the middle to round pieces of cardboard/wood/something in between the layers for support, for one wedding I went to. Most others were just big elaborate "normal" cakes.

I always assumed the crazy big American wedding cakes on TV were at least mostly real, maybe with supports and levels to structure it.

Honestly I'd prefer that over the expensive yet awful food I've had at weddings. They charge expensive restaurant prices but all the food has to be made in bulk to serve at once so you're not getting expensive restaurant quality.
The whole "stack" thing is dumb as hell to begin with. Just because someone is using Linux, do they have to use Apache MySQL and PHP? Just because some is using Windows, do they have to use IIS, SQL Server and ASP? Where do Go, Rust, C++, serverless and containers fit into these handcuffs? Why can't someone run netcore on Linux? Why would someone use SQL for all their database problems?

Stacks are an incredibly bad idea and need to go away. If you organically end up with LAMP because those technologies were best-in-class for your problem, then great. Use the best tool for the job, else your solution is categorically enterprise.

"Stack" is merely an FOSS euphemism for enterprise behavior.

Database Choice for Large Data Volume
Your choice of journalism as an example is unsettling. If the New York Times goes out of business, there is no guarantee that another news publisher will break the same stories. Some things will just not be investigated anymore and some important stories will just not be told.
Moreover, there is a tipping point, beyond which the ad blends too well and becomes plain deception. This is even more of a problem for journalistic publications. See also: native advertising.

> Typically, when we test experimental products to gauge their safety and efficacy, we engage in informed consent with the participating parties.

The state consented on your behalf. You, in fact, automatically "consented" to all sorts of dangerous and dubious experiments, including democracy itself, when you became a resident. Though the entire idea that self-driving cars are dangerous and experimental has no basis in reality and by all accounts Waymo's cars are ridiculously safe, even if it were the case that they were dangerous Waymo is operating with the full blessings of the Arizona government.

> Society necessitates that people drive. Society does not necessitate that Company X gets autonomous vehicles on the roads by target date Y so that their investors are happy.

Of course society does not "necessitate" anything. Society is not some natural phenomenon like gravity that operates in necessity. And there are many, many people who would point out that they do not agree with and certainly do not consent to America's dangerous obsession with car ownership that kills 50k Americans a year and has tremendous economic and ecological consequences. But alas.
I don't buy the argument about minimizing driver interventions. Regardless of what metric Cruise is optimizing, there is some metric, and hence there is an incentive to cut corners at the expense of safety. It's the responsibility of every engineer and every manager to prevent this. Given that the incentive will exist no matter what, miles driven between interventions is a pretty good metric to optimize.
