Seems to be about the same as it's ever been. Still being updated and worked on, and still very few people use it.

C# has been adding new major language features all the time since its inception, including pretty much everything we are seeing being added to Java these days.

My experience with F* is several unsuccessful hours of trying to compile hello world thanks to a complete lack of instructions for configuration and installation.

I hope it's gotten better.

The pricetag

I'm a new developer (an intern, actually). I just started writing a system that requires a couple secret strings. Currently I just have them as constants with my code, with the idea that I'll figure out something to do with them once I make sure everything is working.

What should I do with those secrets though? I'm not sure how to store them securely. So far I've been considering putting them in the server configuration so they can be read from environment variables, but that seems inconvenient for me and other developers and also not that much more secure.

Maybe software for specifically Linux is kinda KDE's whole thing. I'm just happy they go out of their way to package and test their code against other OSs in the first place.

It's fast and you can make bindings for it to any other language extremely easily.

pavelbr | 7 years ago | on: Show HN: TabNine, an autocompleter for all languages

I believe the Visual Studio team is working on something like this to provide better autocomplete for specifically C#.

pavelbr | 7 years ago | on: C compiler with support for structs written in Assembly

If I wanted to actually run this compiler, how would I build it?

pavelbr | 7 years ago | on: Windows Calculator invalid input with 10^x function

I launch apl in my terminal if the calculation I need to do is simple and Wolfram|Alpha otherwise

Ubisoft's Tom Clancy games are still generally Gameplay.

Rainbow Six Siege is still one of my favorites.

GitHub owns and maintains Atom, and it's biggest competitor is VS Code.

pavelbr | 8 years ago | on: Improving performance with Stackless Python

I don't know about gevent, but stackless will work with any libraries in the same way CPython does, which makes sense given it's just a fork. Native extensions obviously won't benefit from stackless but still work with it.

Exceptions and threads don't mix well however, so using Stackless' microthreads with code that relies on exceptions will likely lead to slowdown, so there are a few things to be aware of.

This isn't mine, it's just a neat thing I found. If you don't want to download it, you can play around with it on TIO: https://tio.run/##TY3BCgIxDETP7lfk2AorFm/CfkypKQa7aUnSw359d0...

pavelbr | 8 years ago | on: Writing a Managed JIT in C# with CoreCLR

What dynamic languages run on the jvm? To my knowledge it doesn't support dynamic types at all.

pavelbr | 8 years ago | on: Python 2 will be replaced with Python 3 in the next RHEL major release

Perl6 isn't an update to Perl5. It's a completely unrelated language with a misleading name.

pavelbr | 8 years ago | on: Show HN: I made a Chrome extension to reveal zero-width characters

Is `hexdump` not `xxd`?

pavelbr | 8 years ago | on: I have forgotten how to read

As a young person (high school) I can assure you that this is most probably false.

pavelbr | 8 years ago | on: Chrome 68 will mark all HTTP sites as “not secure”

No it isn't, for certain certificate errors this is the only way.

pavelbr | 8 years ago | on: Startpoint: A saner replacement for `if __name__ == “__main__”`

I thought about this for a while before I published it. In the end, I thought it was neat and didn't see a reason not to.
