Nice. I haven't heard that one.
Don't comment your code - it was hard to write, it should be hard to read!

I hadn't heard yours before either...the things we learn at Code Project.

Beware bold promises from a multibillion-dollar industry that can't prevent your IT systems from being routinely hacked. Lies, damned lies, statistics, and anti-virus marketing

Red Hat has chosen not to provide support to its commercial Linux customers if they use rival versions of OpenStack, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. The company's support, which includes providing bug fixes and helping customers if they run into technical problems, is a key reason people use Red Hat rather than free versions of Linux.
It's enterprise software's version of the Big Stick Policy.

It's amazing how much how much work is involved in not having work.
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Microsoft has been softening its anti-open source stance for some time, but this release marks the first major Microsoft software platform to see the light of day. Yet given the evidence, this move was not altogether unexpected. Microsoft’s open-source roots date all the way back to 2006 with the launch of the Codeplex open-source hosting site, and Microsoft Open Technologies has hosted open-source projects on GitHub for the past two years, with software such as the Azure SDK available since 2012. Hell hath frozen over.

public class FormContext

This stuff looks like it's been through a sanitizer. I find it really hard to believe that there are no comments for classes, methods, and properties.

It's just code.
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Today at Mozilla we find ourselves at a difficult spot. We face a choice between a feature our users want and the degree to which that feature can be built to embody user control and privacy. Customers are always right, except when they are wrong
|

I understand why Mozilla is doing this, but it is also undermining one of the main reasons it even exists.

Developer talks up the process of moving a JavaScript audio app to Dart, touts user list and upgrades as Google pushes its JavaScript alternative Why bother learning JavaScript when you can just convert from Dart (and then debug the generated JavaScript)?
|
|
|
|
|
It's all just a waiting game until we see what ECMAScript 6 can do. Then it'll be clearer whether Dart is a viable option or was just a placeholder until JavaScript caught up.

I know a guy who has an interesting take on programmers. He views them as modern day plumbers or mechanics. Whether that sounds negative or positive to you, (I think he means it in a mostly negative way) the parallels are there. It's pipes all the way down

He may be thinking of an electrician maybe?
There's a few funny things I've noticed about being a developer and one is that when you tell someone what you do most of them reply "Oh, I could never do that" - which is a statement true of pretty much any profession.

I have never had an opportunity to use F# in a commercial environment. I have been a developer in the .NET arena for 8 years and as yet have not been able to come up with a decent enough excuse to use it. [<entrypoint>] let main argv = System.Console.WriteLine("no");
|
|
|
|
|
F# that.

No, and it should not be. Otherwise (CA)ML will be a much better option, I suppose.

One of the project I am working on has a module written in F#. This is a nice example how F# is used in a commercial environment. I can say since that particular module was changed for F# one things are better.
Plus I find working with F# fun, it is a nice distraction from the boring stuff.
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true

No. I learned some F# and used it to impress coworkers at an internal coding competition, but that was about it. Only a couple of them had even heard about the language.
