Yup. Specifically for this I would use one of their NanoStations, which one depends on a bunch of factors but the locoM5 is a solid choice when there's no obstructions and plenty of clearance.
It's per-package semantic versioning, not one big version for .NET Core. So you could have an app which has dependencies all over the place - old versions of some packages, new versions of others. Say you have application A, uses System.Foo version 3.4; then you have application B which uses System.Foo version 3.9. They're both old apps, the current version of System.Foo is 3.12. Now we find a security hole in System.Foo going back to version 2.3. MS is going to patch and release updated versions of every one of them, in case some application is still using 2.3?

I know I'm a little late in replying, but you're taking the term pain overly literally. My point was that you can frame anything in terms of pain.

For example if you're playing a game to learn, you can view that as trying to escape the pain of ignorance.

There's nothing morose about it.
A lot of computer geeks are like this. I am too, for example. For whatever reason we never lose the nice boyish curiosity thing. It's a bit weird as you get older (I'm 42) because you feel like the same curious friendly boyish dude but you're now living in this body that is just... getting old, day by day. But there's something in you that stays the same...

Omega: flexible, scalable schedulers for large compute clusters
I don't agree that everyone should learn to code. It's just not that essential a skill. Consider that if one does not know how to read, write or perform arithmetic, one will be left out of most available occupations. That's definitely not the case with coding.

This is not to say that we should not give everyone the opportunity to try it, if you like coding then more power to you. But computer programming is quite alien to the way many people think.

Consider that I quite commonly meet people who do not own computers and don't want to. It's not that they don't have the money to purchase a computer or Internet service - they really do not want to be involved with that kind of technology. I don't regard these people as in any way backwards nor educationally challenged. One such is a deputy sheriff. He uses computers for his work, but when he's off work he never touches them.

Really, then, a technical person with some valuable technical work should just start their own business.

Precisely. You've correctly identified the irrational non-technical prejudice the financial industry may have towards someone such as yourself. The only solution is to become their competitor. You'd be surprised how easy it is to beat incompetent corporations at their own game. If it can be done with multi-stage rockets, it can be done with hedge funds.

its not a big deal, your just caught up in language. in a sense learning is just adapting, 'successful' neurons propagate, less successful ones wither. also its helpful when thinking about these things to not fall for the fallacy that cancer and the immune system is simply cells - they are complex systems. For instance, the immune system does learn and adapt.

I have to say I'm very impressed with how ms is keeping .net a relevant platform. A few years ago, I started to worry that I was going to have a skill with a rapidly declining market value. While I still believe that being a polyglot is the best way to mitigate this risk(as well as just general professional development), I do feel like MS is taking great strides in keeping.NET developers employed.

it's part of the actual app repo. The reason for that is that not everyone knows how to correctly setup a server to work with push state. If you check out the history for `js/angular/app.js` or `gulpfile.js`, you'll see that it was reverted from pushState and pretty URLs back to hashbangs so that you wouldn't have to work locally on a server.
Did you choose to sit in the front or the back of the car? When I get taxis in Beijing, I sit in the front when I'm open to chat, and the back when when I'm not. Most drivers respect this signal.

I'm constantly amused how Java is supposedly stupid for protecting programmers from things they shouldn't do and yet also stupid for not protecting programmers from things they shouldn't do.

IMHO Java makes some choices about safety. If you don't agree with those choices, use a different tool. It doesn't make Java wrong for having a different opinion. Likewise I wouldn't berate C for being too low level or Ruby for favouring readability over performance.

As someone who have tried clojure a little bit after it was launched , but after a while dropped; my personal view is that Lisps are great for small stuff, but once you need to go for something bigger, with big teams, the thing start to melt down.

And here is where OOP shines.. The probable "winners" of the languages of the next decade will be OOP ones that glue well with functional techniques and functional languages that are very good at OOP techniques.

F# is really good here, and from the OOP side C# and Java are also running for this trophy (again).

Maybe swift.. but we need to see if the adoption will have a limit, given its tied to a closed platform, and its also closed source

(But Rich Hickey is a bad ass and the framework design behind clojure is a piece of art)
This is actually exciting for users on corporate managed Linux systems where the built-in package manager may not be up to date anymore (e.g. Ubuntu LTS after a couple years).

Unfortunately not: it's only 64 times slower to generate 2^64 collisions for hash function by generic attacks than just one, and those 2^64 messages will contain a collision for another hash function of length 128. The total time is only the sum of the times for each one.

There are also other solutions to this problem, such as encouraging discussions like this to take place on something like HipChat. Now all the discussions are archived and searchable and even the people that are home sick that day have the chance to overhear something important, not just the guy that happened to be walking by.

And while yes, some discussions will still take place outside of the chat rooms, if this is your default way of working then there should be enough discussion of anything critical that everything makes it's way to chat eventually.

Once everyone's comfortable working this way you can encourage a lot more working from home (or working from wherever in the world you want to be, if your employees aren't all married with kids yet), etc. And that will save you even more on office space.
Winforms look good... until you know better.

As far as doing GUIs? The golden standard is Delphi, and from the MS camp, Visual FoxPro.
I thought the same too, back when I really started into F# (2007 or so). But is it really taking off? People are still scared, worried that "it's hard to understand" (despite it being the opposite). Or that "it's hard to find F# developers" (which isn't true, a: anyone good can easily pick it up, b: advertising F#, like Haskell, will get a lot of people to fight for the jobs since it's rare to get paid to work with a great language).

Microsoft itself does not seem to give F# much resources. It's there, they've made some feature additions, improved VS support a bit. But not even 10% of what the C# team has for features. Microsoft refrains from telling people "you should use F#" which is good advice for all but the most terrible of enterprise environments.

F# is amazing because it's a solid language with great tooling support and fantastic interop (C, .NET) for excellent library access. I honestly believe there's nothing that quite matches it. Scala might be closest with tooling and JVM access.

There's a whole industry on the net of pimping "fear porn." Sometimes the fears are even complete fiction, like Fukushima causing a cancer epidemic on the US West Coast. These sites are click farms, and some of them make a lot of money by doing nothing more than aggregating and reprinting blog articles with a fear or outrage slant. They generate massive traffic in spite of their horrible quality.

"If it bleeds it leads" is a saying because it absolutely works. There seems to be a huge attention bias toward negative information.
iOS SDK forbids one even to build any other browser legally (which is glaring example of of lock-in insanity). At least that's how the license looks like. Are there any alternatives way to build code for iOS?
No it's not. I know plenty of engineers making around $200k in total comp who are leaf nodes in the org chart.
I think Merkel needs to go. What an absolutely destructive, one-sided stance to take on net neutrality. Her arguments against net neutrality make absolutely no sense, no matter which way you spin them. Quite clearly Merkel has had a few donations made to her party by the telecommunications industry, for her to seriously consider a two-tier internet a good idea.
I don't think the new logo communicates Deviant Art (or art) at all. Seems ineffective to me.
It's not much different from the situation with statically linking C, is it? This argument was the exact one MS used over a decade ago explaining why they couldn't ship a linker for .NET. (And 3rd parties, including MS employees, stepped up to fix it.)

On the flip side, there's been few (none?) exploits involving remote code execution, except for loading code from untrusted sources. The other large ones that come to mind were a few ASP.NET security bypass issues.

So it's not like, say, someone statically linking JPEG reading code that allows code injection. It could be, as nothing stops unsafe code being published, but it's far less of an issue with managed code than MS has made it out to be.

I actually find Scala quite pleasant to use. What aspect do you find it being too complicated?

I've seen Scala code styles within a wide spectrum of OO <---> FP, which can be both positive and negative. My only complaint, is that compilation takes longer than Java code. I learnt to live with it for now, and I am sure the Typesafe team are working hard to address it.

I sadly am not a fan of the logo at all.

I personally think the existing logo was fine, don't fix what isn't broken.
Good for you, you're putting yourself out there. And this work isn't for nothing. But man, look at how many times you used the word 'I'.

If you want people to take away something from your story, make your story about what needs to be taken away. Not about you.

Keep writing.
Yeah it felt like an ad. I understand he wants to have some call to action in there. But might have overdone it.
Yep. I don't have a lot of occasion to take taxis/Uber but I do take a car service to the airport fairly frequently. Most of the time I'm fine with a few minutes of chit chat about what the weather has been like while I've been away or the successes/tribulations of whatever sports team, or what traffic nightmare is going on at the moment--but, at that point, I'm generally good with being driven to my destination without feeling the obligation to make further polite conversation, listen to talk radio, or whatever.
And while we are at it, maybe the reader Joel Spolsky would like to do something about it
Great spot of writing, love it! Finally put to words something I've been trying to phrase myself: "we are not job functions, we are human beings". Plus that whole 'it's OK to not know exactly what you want to do because you're leaving your options open' bit is great as well.
This result (fewer readers for 'good news') isn't particularly surprising. People read the news to find things they need to take action on, things that interrupt their normal life flow and tell them what to do. I read a paper that called it the Utopia Paradox[1] which described the situation where all needs are met, people cease to pursue ideas. I would find when starting a new job and leaving behind an email inbox full of demands on my time that the sheer choice of things to do is initially overwhelming.

So when you stop giving people things to worry about, and I think they use it as a crutch to organize their day, they are at a loss. Too often news is "Its going to rain" therefore I need to have my raincoat tomorrow, "Idiots are going to win the election", therefore I need to vote, "Kids are getting kidnapped", therefore I need to protect my kids. But when the news is, "All the trains are on time!" what help does that give you in planning your life? None. And in fact you have now "wasted" time on reading an article that hasn't helped you figure out anything you need to prepare for or worry about, so that are only so many more minutes left in the day to prepare.

It's a very strange cycle. You can play it the other way though, you can both report good news and give planning data, like "The trains are all on time and cars are less reliable than they were, consider changing your plan to use the train tomorrow." That is the sort of positive news I'd prefer we got, "Here is what is going on and here is some action you can take to help it continue and/or mitigate it."

Also, when Chrome was launched, it was the only browser with a multi-process approach to a multi-tab browser world.. Also their approach to threads were right from the beginning, and that converge into a awesome no-lock and no-glitch browsing experience.. After that, every other browser followed them.

So, to be fair, Chrome was much more than V8 (which was also a part of its voodoo)
I like this. You can see why Steve and Steve made good friends/partners, at least in the beginning. I think most people think of Woz as the tech guy and Jobs as the everything else. But here you can see Woz's love beyond just making the tech. For him it's art, like the part at the start where he wanted to make it better and have fewer holes. Reminds me of Jobs talking about his dad and how he taught him if you are building something you have to care even about the things that would never be seen. I can't find the story, but there was one about Jobs wanting to make everything inside the computer look nice, to the engineers frustration.

The two together seem to make an awesome bridge. Woz with the tech skills, but still with a passion to make things perfect and amazing and can see the potential for the designs (not just making it cause he's told), and Jobs picking up seeing those things as well and wanting the products made that way and being able to express/sell those ideas to others (which sometimes it seems is very undervalued by tech people)

It is also possible that by emphasizing negative news they have built an audience that is seeking negative news and it may be an entirely different audience who wants to read the positive stuff.
