Just for the record, i agree that i was wrong, i checked prices, indeed they are about 2x smaller than i assumed (not in Paris but in East Europe capitals). Looks like i need to get out of my social bubble more frequently.

That doesn't affect my initial claim though: indeed, the quoted Manhattan rents in the original article include existing contracts, including decades-old regulated rental contracts, and do not represent average prices of new rentals signed now.

Have you actually tried Blazor ? Just the schism between WASM and Server and the feature matrix there, and generally shit quality of early stage Microsoft product - I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole, likewise for MAUI - I've seen coworkers prototype both for some greenfield projects in last month or two and both projects gave up on it because it just isn't there yet for mainstream development.

I mean .NET core was pretty much in this boat pre v3, it took them years to move past the .NET standard mess, Xamarin never cleaned up and they are hoping MAUI will eventually just sweep it under the rug.

I wouldn't bet on any Microsoft stack that hasn't had 3+ years of successful use in the wild - I've been burned too many times. You might say the same is true for any other project/stack - but even when they moved to OSS .NET projects have this Microsoft level of complexity and boilerplate that makes diagnosing trivial things a slog. And Microsoft likes to put "stable" label on a lot of things these days with the pressure to ship. Good rule of thumb - not worth my time until v3.

"It never had a specification concrete enough to implement because its chief architect always came off like a schizophrenic"

My takeaway was, that it never went anywhere, because the chief architect is a non technical person, not understanding the technical limits, but having a great ego and therefore was very hard to work with.

I do admire the basic vision (minus royalty), but I think it would take a new, clean and clear approach of designing, to make it actual usable. The way it is, it looks to me like a very early proof of concept, which is not much after all of those years.

I don't think the arduino software ecosystem is a good path to becoming proficient in embedded development. The very concepts that you need to really understand well, working with registers and understanding the microcontroller as a set of digital circuits, are abstracted away.

With that goal in mind, I see simple devices like AVRs as a better first device because there is just less to configure. There's less to debug when things go wrong. There's only one clock domain. The datasheet is far shorter than most ARM devices.

When I look at the example projects for devices I use at work, such as nrf52, or stm32, and then try to put myself in the shoes of someone learning this for the first time, they seem overwhelmingly complex, when compared to similar examples for AVR parts.

I must admit that AVR hardware debugging is miles behind ARM though.
No big new features, only improvements and bug fixes. On the other hand KWrite got a major rework.

In my experience on small teams that I've been on - a key motivator for people is shipping products and features. The sooner and more frequently you can do this the more positive reinforcement there is for the entire team - not to mention reduced risk of something never making it to the target users.

Teams that have figured out the optimal way to get product and features into the hands of users as quickly as possible are the happiest teams because it's evidence that they're working together efficiently to meet their shared goals.

The Tetris Effect I had heard about.

The ability of our minds and brains to create these forms by themselves and also there being a logical, game like mechanic when you use our software might explain parts of why it feels so good to continue doing, and why these acts permeate into the mind even not when doing it.

Also the fact that you can easily spend hours working on these patterns, when you have a tool that enables that easily enough, it supports the thinking that our minds start to replicate and predict these patterns, as mentioned by one poster above this.

while these are interesting points, both posts are strongly euro-centric.

Religion was one of the stronger organizing forces of the old world and so good and bad both have roots in it. It was more stable than the leadership of kings/queens/chieftans which was blood-run and disrupted by the murder of either the existing leadership or the entire bloodline. Chaotic at best.

Learning/education has been shown to be part of religious teachings long before JC was even a discussed historical figure. For example, Buddha taught under Bodhi trees, Hindu philosophers under Banyans and so on. All kinds of 'modern' conceptions came from religious individuals, because most everyone was religious. It was deeply intertwined with early culture and simply belonging to a given geo-community

Our rejection - and I do mean our - of religion and easier coexistence culturally as atheists and agnostics is relatively recent.
This obsession of dynamically typing vs static typing is not useful. ASP.net is used to develop web applications. C# does have better performance than Python, but I highly doubt most applications will ever need or care about that. Choosing C# over Python (or Ruby, JS etc) for performance reasons is premature optimization at best.

Maybe you have some legacy codebase in C# that you need to leverage.

All other reasons to chose C# over something else for web applications seem to lack evidence but certainly not conviction. So yes, Python is a direct competitor to C#, as in there are many more Python web projects out there than C# ASP.net ones.
How could you make us all feel so old. You monster.
Only if they are being told the truth. A functional free market requires symmetrical information (ie. both seller and buyer has the same information about the product). It is just a theoretical thing. But you can get closer to that ideal with regulation and strong buyer protections.
The trick my local bar uses is to put artificial lights behind a stained glass window. No matter what time you go in it looks like late afternoon, about an hour before sunset. Unless you have a watch or line of sight to the outer door when someone opens it, you can’t tell what time it is.

I’ve never seen behind the stained glass but am guessing they have warm light fluorescent bulbs (no heat) and something diffusing the light because it looks evenly distributed.

There are no windows on the outside of the building so it seems something you can set into a wall.

VS Code has a C# debugger on Linux. There are certainly limitations to the open source C# support in VS Code, but for students it should be easily sufficient.

If you want a language where not only the core and main libraries are open source, but also all the tools then C# is probably not the right choice. If free (but not open) tools for most use cases and paid tools for larger companies or higher-level demands are okay, then C# fits.

Well, while I understand, what you are trying to say (a simple crud web api should be easy to accomplish), I think that you were just overwhelmed by amount of possibilities, tutorials and outdated information, because C# / .NET is evolving fast.

That said, you may take a look at my small very early state pet project `tonehub`[1], which can be seen as pretty modern CRUD Web API in 2022, utilizing swashbuckle for OpenAPI, JsonApiDotNet for CRUD, Entity Framework 6 for Database, HostedServices for background tasks and some other nice concepts (DI / IoC, Options Pattern, FileStreams, etc.). I could also use SignalR for WebSockets / Realtime, integrated OpenID/OAUTH2 Authentication, FluentValidation for validation, Api Versioning and much more.

I've never accompilished something like this with this small amount of code...

> they'll compensate everyone else involved for the fraud chargebacks,

But in this hypothetical would there be chargebacks? People went to a bar. They consumed, and paid for it. As far as the costumers know it went all good.

The one who is harmed would be the pub. And presumably they would complain and soon.

I don’t doubt that the whole scheme would come to light quick, i’m just questioning the exact mechanism.
The irrational narrative part is the difficult one to tackle, in order to truly try to understand something like that. I can of course tell myself why I am seeing these things after and while working on these patterns, but to truly try to understand this is another subject all together.

But the part about starting to predict these patterns in our minds, and the connection to the underlying structures of geometric nature in our cells and for example the visual cortex, makes the process really interesting, it somehow can to my experiences help us in best cases connect to those structures in a deep way, and also the structures that are all around us in nature.

Thanks for sharing, this prediction aspect gave me some thoughts to think about more.

Now we're really taking the analogy apart until it's no longer reasonable, but I'll continue:

Sometimes it makes sense to stand around waiting for the burger to cook. Maybe all you have to do are low-value burgers and it's nice to maintain an idle chef for any high-priority burger tasks that come in.

Or there are important but non-burger tasks that need to be done but are easily deprioritised in favour of burgers.
You can get away with it when everyone is doing it. Most of the food and beverage industry compromises quality or quantity in one way or another. McDonald's is actually one of the better ones, they compromise the quantity, but otherwise they are consistent, innovative and good at observing customer trends and behaviors.
Those don't really compete with C#, except in the most generic sense (as is true for all PLs).

OmniSharp (VS Code extension for C#) has been discontinued and there is no replacement yet. Besides, Microsoft purpusefully sabotaged OmniSharp to make it so unusable that it forces people to use Visual Studio, so even if a beginner on Linux would decide to try C# with a discontinued product they would only face difficulties and a basically horrendous mostly broken experience. .NET on Linux is non existent without Rider and there is no way to sugarcoat this fact. It's sad how ignorant some people are about this and keep peddling untruths about C# that it is well supported on Linux when it isn't.
I know it's not a library in the conventional sense. But it would be a bit proper to separate things in to fiction and non-fiction at the very top level.
The author specifically mentions TypeScript. But it doesn't do anything about the dependency problem, nor the performance. And it can only patch over JS flaws so much, since the runtime and stdlib are still whatever the ES spec says they are.

I have a couple of these, for the nostalgia factor, and recently sent out a plea for more. If anyone has any "spare" Z80, BASIC, or similar books from that time-frame I'd love to add them to my small collection.

I think that's the barrier with C# in general - the framework nature of it means there's a lot of "I don't know what I don't know" especially with ASP.NET which is quite large in scope. Don't get me wrong - that's the usual dev reaction when switching from their familiar language/tools to a new one but I don't think, at least historically, C#/ASP.NET made it as easy as it could of been. Which namespace do I open to import the right extension method to register swagger generation? How do I configure it? All that stuff IS existent actually and having worked with both in my current role the .NET version eventually ends up being a "just works" experience. Its just hard to approach and integrate if you don't already know the "patterns" and the libraries. Sadly there's a lot to learn compared to say Fastify for a basic working app. However it is very configurable and flexible. I've seen the same reaction from dev's to the Spring Framework as well - its just feels bloated for a lack of a better term to people coming from JS.

As per another comment after having seen JS devs switch to F# for very large professional application and not wanting to go back I feel its fine for web. YMMV.
