Whenever Microsoft tried to do web frontend it was "not really good" (it was borderline catastrophic). Asp spaghetti, aspx components, viewstate handling, razor templates etc.

When I worked with .net guys (which happened quite often) 9 out of 10 had been like wow, I don't have to touch frontend, because MS will solve that for me "somehow", plus the frontend is messy and crap and javascript is a terrible language and C# rocks (but F# even rocks more) and I'm not going to learn all this sillyness (because I want to reuse my skills).

At least with new-angular they feel a bit better and they can praise typescript, because typescript is "just like C#". Let's just hope noone pulls an angular-one-to-two style rewrite/clusterfuck...

You're misreading. England is 0.7 per year from shooting:

The organisation said 256, including PC Bone and PC Hughes, have been shot since 1945. That's roughly 3 a year, and includes Northern Ireland during the Troubles which is 80% of the total. England: 51 shot and 19 stabbed in total since 1945. So roughly one death a year since 1945 from shooting or stabbing.

The 10 to 15 a year is police killed in the line of duty by all means, including traffic accidents.

This omgchargebacks explanation came up in a previous thread about Stripe but it's silly.

Stripe (et al) could just require higher risk categories complete AVS and 3DS to be authorised. Card companies could also manually force out-of-band verification (SMS, email, etc) you can ask but guarantee the cardholder is the card owner.
Just for the curiosity, "managed server" in this area is already taken, and means that you get a sysadmin with the rented server (the server is managed for you, including installation and maintenance of the software you need on it). It is "higher level" than cloud servers, not "lower level" ;)
> Still think that if you need these features you should move to Scala/F#/Ocaml/Haskell though since I suspect these features will be added to C# in a clumsy/compromise way given its roots

It might just be me, but notifying all my friends & family that I’m being arrested and sending them a live, unedited video of the incident would be horrifying.
I read over a couple of the papers. The descriptions of them by the authors did not match the content of the papers.

For instance, the one they call "Hooters" is described as "A gender scholar goes to Hooters to try to figure out why it exists." The actual paper is written as a record of transcripts of visits to a restaurant and an extraction of particular conversation themes. At no point did I see the paper questioning why Hooters exists -- the (apparently totally faked) data seems pretty stereotypically motivated, which I think may be their point, but I'm not sure short of a fraud investigation how reviewers are supposed to know that the particular group this author claims to have visited Hooters with didn't say the things supposedly directly recorded. That's a really dramatic claim for a reviewer to make: "This conversation which the author claims is a direct transcription from a recording couldn't possibly have happened because it seems too stereotypical."

Yes, the methodology isn't that great, and the paper was rejected.

More generally, the "study" isn't selecting random journals to see if they could defraud -- it is instead aimed at specific academic targets and a "test to failure" scattershot mechanism is used. Thus we have no idea whether these journals are any more discriminating than, say, PLOS or Nature.

Ultimately, I had some sympathy for the Sokal experiment in that it seemed to say something about the interaction of literary theory and physics. I don't get the same sense that there's much here other than "confirmation bias exists, even among gender studies folks!!!" which seems like it wouldn't take 3 people 10 months to figure out, and could be done in a much more direct way, and honestly isn't that shocking or rattling a conclusion.
I promise you that I understand the idea; I have run in .NET circles, particularly Mono, for a long time. It is an interesting goal, but I prefer to stay somewhat in the land of what is--and so I am talking about what is actually done with it in the wild, not what architects blog about. It's map-reduce-fold in the majority case, and when it's not (getting into the IQueryable minefield) I often have found myself going "oh, no."
When I mean LINQ, i don't necessarily mean querying SQL. Working, filtering, grouping, selecting from collections in memory works very well. And i don't necessariliy also mean LINQ query syntax, but it can also be method syntax: .Where().Select()...

And the power of ExpressionTrees that allows you to interpret code your own way. For example, substituting SharePoint CSOM library

.IsPropertyAvailable(string)

with

IsPropertyAvailable<T>(this T clientObject, Expression<Func<T, object>> propertySelector) [0]

is neat. Instead of magic strings you now have compile-time checking. Now you write

.IsPropertyAvailable(s => s.ServerRelativeUrl)

instead of

.IsPropertyAvailable("ServerRelativeUrl")

As for SQL, it may sometimes be a blocker, yes. But EF Core, for example, provides a FromSql method to use for complex queries.

> In people's minds, cloning = a person walks into a machine and two exact copies walk out.

I highly doubt this is even close to true. Most people are smart enough to know that cloning has something to do with "modifying the egg and sperm and growing the baby". That's literally all they have to know to not think the absurd thing you mentioned. What you've described is "teleportation gone wrong" which is complete and utter science-fiction, and most people know that. I would even go further and say that most people are familiar with Dolly and already know cloning to be possible.

Plus, they are already familiar with twins (about two pairs per high-school) which is natural cloning. You'd have to be living under a rock to think twins share the same mind.

All true! But, as you note, they're prerequisites for LINQ, not LINQ. Thing is, though? These days, I would say that all four of the features you describe are barely table stakes. Having lambdas made C# cool in 2007, but it's not 2007 anymore and that the four features you listed are probably the important new features I can think of since 2007 is why I like C# a lot less today.

As is probably obvious from my reference to them, I believe that record types would be a contender for "most important new feature"--even moreso than async/await--after spending a lot of time with Kotlin and data classes, it is nearly impossible to go back. C# provides you with the choice of manually-updated boilerplate or mutable objects through your whole stack. That's what has generally kept me away from C# since exposure to first Scala, later Kotlin, and most recently TypeScript. And, while I now work at a C#-first company (not on the C# backend), I don't see a real reason to change that for me personally until they make writing correct code easier.

In many ways, TypeScript seems to me to be a wiser future than what C# is presenting, but that's a whole other kettle of fish.

> A 2016 study in the journal Science found that two-thirds of 18 experimental studies from two top-tier economics journals (American Economic Review and the Quarterly Journal of Economics) successfully replicated.

While I agree, some physics-challenged lawyer set a precident in the usa sometime in the 00s. Almost all shops say they have to. However, if both are decent, its prudent on fwd cars to rotate them as they wear. The simple lesson here is buy quality tires, and replace them when they are worn, and many other issues are eliminated.

For a quick explanation to those unititiated in auto physics: bald tires on front = increases understeer. Bald tires on rear = increases oversteer. Understeer = car pushes straight under braking, going wide in turn. Default setup of 99% of road cars and considered safer in general for average drivers. Oversteer = rear end of car comes around, usually resulting in a spin, spins remove all control from driver. Alert drivers in well handling cars can countersteer into the slide sometimes, this is (basically) drifting. Generally, only sports and racecars are setup this way.

We have no idea how that's gonna play out. We always think in terms of linear extrapolation, when in reality every new development eventually veers off into unintended consequences and totally unforeseen societal directions. Nobody in the nineteen sixties foresaw where computers where going. They thought Multivac paradise. We got the Facebook nightmare. Nobody in the eighteenth century saw past the exiting novelty of self driving carriages to the unliveable infernos we have let our cities turn into today. Nobody foresaw the overwhelming cultural rifts eventually resulting from universal wealth and mass education.

> As long as it's fast ram, it's pretty good for a next best thing. I wasn't aware.

The ROM changes which shipped with the AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 updates all exercised the same mechanism by which operating system modules loaded into RAM whose contents would survive a warm reset would supersede the contents of the ROM image.

If I remember correctly, the same tool (LoadModule) had been used then.

Documentation for these technical aspects has always been somewhat lacking I'm afraid... Not everyone wants to trawl the Amiga forums for hints on what is possible and how.

This time, however, there is an official FAQ on the web site of the company which sells the product and further pointers to more information on Amiga forums which cover the AmigaOS 3.1.4 update.

I feel like the concept of unions needs to be rejiggered for the modern era

This is very much a cultural thing. A German union for example ensures that Workers get their fair share but understands that the company must be profitable and successful first - they know not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. Whereas unions in the UK immediately try to destroy a company to prove a point about capitalism, union bosses are lavishly paid, and the Workers are mere pawns, in some cases even actively working against their members wishes. That’s why Germany has a strong auto industry and we do not.
> The make-work bias is best illustrated by a story, perhaps apocryphal, of an economist who visits China under Mao Zedong. He sees hundreds of workers building a dam with shovels. He asks: “Why don’t they use a mechanical digger?” “That would put people out of work,” replies the foreman. “Oh,” says the economist, “I thought you were making a dam. If it’s jobs you want, take away their shovels and give them spoons.”

I think prior art exists. As a specific example of a business that has solved this problem:

https://www.opendesign.com

ODA offers several licenses of their CAD related data processing tools. The most expensive licence gives direct access to source and the right to compile the source, but strictly controls how that source may be used.

You may want to take a peek at their licenses. The source code is available at the most expensive 'Founding' tier:

The other alternative is software escrow but I would fathom you could just offer a premium license for full source code access and capture all that additional revenue yourself.
Partner with a bank.

Or get a hedge fund to buy a bank shell, have it as an asset, and use that bank. If your startup fails, they still have the asset.

Or you may just need to have access to 13M, it's probably not the fee. So - you can just borrow 13M and use the 13M as collatoral. If you structure the deal right, it's 100% risk free. Moreover, you may be able to invest the 13M in which case you can still return an interest rate.

So you could find a fund with 13M, draw up the paperwork such that they put that in your company, but it can't be spent, and the 13M is effectively it's own collateral. Then pay the investors interest, plus some small coupon payment, or give them some equity for their risk free investment.

So long as the paid up capital isn't used for anything, it's a 'non transaction', i.e. it has no financial meaning.

That said, the 13M may be designated as collateral or some kind of requirement for the payments system.

This isn’t an outlying case and all scientists _should_ have this view of contrasting hypothesis. This is obviously in contrast to religion.

There is no way around this kind of regulation, and they definitely are not going to 'change their minds' once they see someone has broken it. They're going to put someone in jail.
The high-entry barrier business is where VC actually makes sense. Building a webapp and getting $3M VC money is a little bit of a waste. Building a rocket or a jet requires $100M and there's no other way around it. You're maybe somewhere in between. Or start small. Maybe in a different country/province, if you can.

Would an intellectual arms race sacrifice traits such as altruism or curiosity or creativity for more easily measurable traits?

LINQ is pretty basic if you are just using the IEnumerable overloads. It get's more interesting when you use the IQueryable versions of things. LINQ to SQL and Entry Framework provide IQueryable implementations that turn C# code in to SQL. This code snippet demonstrates the C# feature these frameworks relies on:

using System;
using System.Linq.Expressions;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Expression<Func<int, int, int>> expr = (a, b) => a + b;
Console.WriteLine(expr);
Func<int, int, int> fun = expr.Compile();
Console.WriteLine(fun(1, 2));
}
}

When run, this outputs:

(a, b) => (a + b)
3

When a Expression<T> variable is assigned to or a method taking an Expression<T> parameter, the C# code is not translated into MSIL (normal C# is compiled to MSIL). Rather it is translated into an AST. In my example I just compiled it to MSIL, however LINQ-to-SQL and Entity Framework translate the AST to SQL. This macro-like capability is the true power of LINQ. The rest is syntactic sugar (though very delicious sugar).

If I were to try to critique LINQ, it would the normal ORM complaints. Sometimes you have to care about what is going on underneath in the C#-to-SQL translation. Your code may compile, but at runtime the generated SQL might have terrible performance.
