An Overview of .NET/Mono Runtime Versions, Profiles, and Targeting Packs

Look, its easy.

Are you using a statically typed language like Java or C#? Then use SOAP.
Are you using JavaScript? Then use JSON.
Otherwise just use plain XML, everyone can read it.

Of course. But you need to design and implement good tests. And most people cannot do that when they are busy thinking about the app code they are trying to write.

Using integer keys do not necessarily preclude the use of sharding. One can use seeds other than (1,1) to give ranges to each server.
GUIDs can be significantly more expensive than integer keys, especially if you create them inside of the application. If you are using your primary key as the clustered index you could end up fragmenting the table.

I made no comment about his skills and neither did mr-strange. You are simply infering that there was an insult, which is poor form unless mr-strange says that was his intention.

Development incorporates Design.

Some people believe that, others see them as distinct tasks.

jknupp · 2012-02-08T00:06:15.418238+00:00

I do believe you are confusing Test Driven Development with Test Driven Design. The former is about ensuring that your code actually has tests, the latter tries to generalize it to include design.

.NET's Framework Design Guidelines were built around that principal. I consider it a must-read for developers on the .NET stack and at least recommeded for all others.

I think you missed the point. I believe what he is trying to say is that we are not properly training developers on how to create APIs. As a result, we end up with a lot of hard to use libraries that are set in stone before their creators have had a chance to independently learn the lesson you just discovered.

jknupp · 2012-02-08T00:00:48.029079+00:00

You aren't just stretching the term, you've torn it in two.

I didn't see him say anything about totally stopping what he is doing 100 times a day to write some silly little 1/4 unit test.

Well that's probably because the best Indian developers have good jobs back home. We only see the second-string developers, and even then only the few that happen to be looking for work.

But considering that all of the first and second-string US developers are fully employed, I would rather take an Indian than some shumck that no one else wants.

We already have minimum salary levels for H1B visas based on education, experience, and prevaliaing wages. The problem is that companies and employees will lie on the application and claim they have less qualifications than they really do in order to reduce the floor salary to what the company thinks it can afford.

The media benefits from sensationalism, not ignorance. They happily talk about both our successes and abuses in foreign lands, as they both drive up the ratings.

Corporations, by and large, do benefit from ignorance, but only when it comes to their own business practices. It isn’t like Monsanto is thinking “Damn, if only the Abu Ghraib scandal wasn’t leaked we could sell more GM corn in China”.

You have no idea what I personally do or do not do. So unless you are under the misconception that I carry the deciding vote my entire state you have no right to make that claim.
We are talking about what the US does to people in other countries. I'm not the one being harmed by my counties attempts to rig an election in Egypt.

In theory their members and sponsors are US citizens. I have no way of knowing who actually runs it, but it is known at least some of their employees were spies for Isreal.

No we are not. Some of us a horrified by it, others are proud and demand we take an even stronger stance. But we are certainly not ignorant of the shit we're doing overseas.

The US entertains thousands of such groups sponsored by foreign interests that do essentially the same thing every day.

I'm going to have to ask you to back that up. Last time I checked, any use of foriegn money in a US election was illeagal.

The US will do that. It is against the law for other nations to interfer with our electorial process and we do threaten to arrest foriegners from time to time for making political donations.

Can we also spend 100 million to promotes a secular governance over judeo-christian governance? I can think of a few states in the US that could really use some help to rid themselves of religious extremists.
