I know we are only supposed to have one post, but after just breaking wind I thought of the movie:

During his normal boring lecture, a professor says "In some languages, a double negative is a positive, and in others, it is a stronger negative. But in no language is a double positive a negative."
And from the back of the lecture hall a voice comes, "Yeah, right!".
Meta: "Sarcasm".
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

I've had a great deal of fun reading this blog[^]. The writing is clear and the concepts are fascinating. Oh yes, and the wonderful young neuroscience student behind it is my niece. I am inordinately proud of her.

Wow that's an excellent blog, and seriously one of the best ones I've read recently. Expertly combining facts into a readable and engaging format is never an easy task, but this manages it effortlessly.
Your niece has a gift. Maybe they could look into writing for New Scientist or something. Discussing scientific ideas and making them enjoyable is truly a gift. I also like the nice clean layout.
Superb

I posted it because this was exactly the reaction I expected. Even though I'm not a neuroscientist, she explained things in a way that a thicky like me could understand.

and rightly so!
This is truly, an amazing bit of work on her part. Word of mouth advertising, here we come.

Preface: I'm self-employed, developing and selling one single app. Without open source components that allow me to take a short route for certain tasks I wouldn't get anywhere. So I'm deeply thankful for anybody devoting their time to open source (and publishing it under a license that allows commercial use..).
One particular open source project that I benefitted a lot from is the C# protocol buffers port from Marc Gravell. From his blog I learned about the "new kid in serializer's town": "Cap'n Proto"[^]. Have a look at it if you're remotely interested in serializing stuff - it sounds absolutely amazing!
Marc Gravell started a C# port but as he's already maintaining A LOT of open source projects besides his actual work he's calling for help.[^]
Maybe you're in a company that has an interest in a C# port of Cap'n Proto and would be willing to devote some capacity to it. Or maybe you know someone who knows someone. Who knows? I thought if I can't contribute to the project myself, at least I can help spreading the word.

Hi Manchanx, "Good on you" for taking the high-road of developing your own software !
Just in case you've missed them, CodeProject has two excellent major-league serialize/de-serialize projects for .NET C#:
1. Mehdi Gholam's fastJSON, and fastJSONBinary projects: [^], [^]. Mehdi has been developing and supporting these projects since 2011 with many, frequent, updates. imho, this project is one of the "crown jewels" of CodeProject.
2. The newer arrival (since September, 2014) by Christophe Bertrand, "Universal Serializer" [^]. imho, this project will become one of the "crown jewels."
My initial experiments with "Universal" suggest it is extremely powerful: I've been able to serialize a complete Windows Form with complex 3rd. party Controls on it, and de-serialize it back into existence with a few lines of code, and the file-size of the serialization was quite small !
Of course, I do appreciate, and respect, the work of the prolific Marc Gravell, and his collaboration with Guru's Guru Jon Skeet on Proto-Buf.
cheers, Bill

Hi Bill, thank you! Do you originate from Australia? I like that phrase 
Actually I found both of those articles recently but didn't get around to comparing them to protobuf in my environment yet. But I have to agree with you, those articles do look very good.
Have you had a look at Cap'n Proto? It's a completely different approach. It will (as far as I have understood it so far) not be able to serialize BCL-Classes but when having to serialize custom DTO's/POCOs it will outclass any other serializer.
Cheers, Sebastian

I read the article link below and it makes me wonder why people kept on insisting that IT hard skills it less relevant to IT career. People with soft skills working in IT department is not IT career. Soft skills are management and leadership trades which are applicable to IT department as well as anything else. Management can't carry out the hard technical tasks that IT skills people can and they will paid dearly to get it. In this world of constantly changing technology especially IT skills, very few are half-good at both soft and hard skills. To be very good at something, we have to devote all of our resources(time and money) to acquire and stay current with that skills.
http://www.cio.com/article/2878675/careers-staffing/why-soft-skills-are-key-to-a-successful-it-career.html[^]
Companies should stop looking for people with both skills because they are only going to get half-good skills people.
