Tomorrow Night Bright

Sounds like the plot of a Futurama episode...

Sure and while we’re at it, let’s not treat aids patients because they engaged in high risk activity and not treat heart attacks of the overweight either.

I’ve never had a job require me to prove those vaccines to come in.

Does this apply to the flu, varicella, meningitis, etc as well?

C# itself isn't hard, but the ecosystem is. I have been writing code for years and wanted to take a look at dotnet not that long ago. There are no tutorials on how to make something that is not also a tutorial on visual studio. I want to learn how to make a webapp or whatever in C#.NET, learn the paradigms, classes, and functions that I need to do that. I'll go look into Visual Studio after I understand the basics to make things easier, but I shouldn't need that as the price of admission. The author addresses this with a comment about goland. But the point is that any other language, the beginner material is about "here's a main.go text file that starts a web server..." and not "click some buttons in one specific IDE and magic happens". I can use emacs, vi, or VScode to write C, go, rust, python, javascript, etc... just about everything. But not C#.

I recently tried to take a look at dotnet core since I heard it can compile and run on linux. Every tutorial I looked at for building a webapp started with "download visual studio and click these buttons..." which would result in a "mostly complete" program that it would go on to fill in some variables to. Literally every other language tutorial starts with a simple empty file and fills in functions with descriptions of what's going on and builds up understanding. When I want to learn how to make a webapp in .NET, I want to learn to make a webapp in .NET/C#, not how to install and click buttons in Visual Studio.

Well it’s a fork of cmucl. Carnegie Mellon university Common Lisp. So they couldn’t have named it the same as the thing it was derived from.

Why would you have bothered encrypting the laptop if everything is in the cloud/elsewhere anyway?

This is governance issue.

Build all your software into packages appropriate for the OS you use and then put them in a company repo. Install from there.

If you're just dumping whatever "stuff" you want on a machine in whatever location with no control, you're gonna have a bad time.

So, apple should add an sd card slot?
