The EU is spineless and full of hypocrites. Seeing their silence and complicity regarding the ongoing genocide in Gaza it's no surprise they're also funding Russia's through buying oil by proxy.
Gaza is faaaaaar more indicting than Ukraine. They can't replace Russian oil, and the alternative to buying it, as we were shown last year, is letting people freeze.
I always find it hilarious that the US commands its allies to apply sanctions which hurt themselves economically to Russia, while US continues to disregard its own sanctions and continues to buy from Russia the commodities the US wants.
That's the result of the Wolfowitz Doctrine that applies to keep US allies as well as US adversaries down, so the US remains 'top dog'.
If they made an easy way for us to move from asp web forms to blazor that'd be ideal. Not bringing web forms to core is fine but without giving us an easy way to migrate to blazor is a big problem imo. There are still a ton of apps and big code bases that run on web forms.
WebForms code cannot be ported over because WebForms' entire architecture is built around a stateful view-layer over stateless server-side code. It's fundamentally broken and incompatible with how the web works (simply look at how WebForms' PostBack system breaks the browser back button and makes it impossible to link to pages or content that can only be accessed via PostBack).
There isn't an easy way to move from WebForms to MVC because it's impossible.
The sheer amount of greenfield code being written today so dwarfs all the legacy code out there (especially that under consideration for upgrade) that Microsoft has just focused full steam ahead on the former. It’s hard to disagree with the business logic there.
(Medium-term migrations from ASP.NET MVC to ASP.NET Core, was more streamlined.)
Yes, agree. But at the same time we could agree that microsoft left their older customers with a dead end solution costing a fortune or even imporrible to upgrade. They would be unwise to take microsoft recommendation again but corps seem to continue to do so..
To be fair, WebForms is 20 years old. It requires .NET Framework, but Microsoft just released another version (4.8.1) of that last year even though they said they were done with 4.8 back in 2019. By the time it's totally dead, companies will have been able to get a quarter of a century out of that tech.
That's outright amazing compared to any of the flash-in-the-pan JS front-end technologies. If you used the original AngularJS, for example, you got 10 or so years, and that's not an entire server-side framework.
I’m too busy being angry at Microsoft for abandoning SWF, WPF, and UWP without providing an amazing replacement to worry about how they treated webforms.
What did you have to do to compile your code. I've been writing c# for 6 years and never had to do anything special. Not sure what you're talking about

I find this interesting. My team at a large public university in the United States just failed two rounds of interviews for a senior full stack software engineer position. Salary is around 130k full compensation. This number includes fantastic benefits and 12% match for 401k . We failed the interview because the candidates that we get are very inexperienced and they interviewed terribly not knowing even basic things. However we can't seem to get anyone more experience to apply because their salary demands are too high, so we end up with entry level engineers attempting to apply to senior roles. The university can't afford to pay anymore so we're kind of stuck.
My wife works for a private university (you've heard of it), in a non-technical role, and it's the same there according to her and her friends at work. The pay is mediocre at best, but the benefits kick ass. Those include excellent health insurance, which as most reading this probably know is a very big consideration in the USA. So maybe that's just how universities do things.
Depending on where said fancy private uni that doesn't pay well is located might be an issue. Yes perks are good. But mediocre pay only goes so far if you're living in a high tax, high rent state.
What about an $800 phone? That is the price of the base model iPhone. That $1599 is to get a fully optioned out iPhone 14 Pro Max with 1TB of storage. Very few people need that much hardware.
Interestingly, the Samsung S23 Ultra with 1TB of storage is $1619. Just a smidge more expensive. Maybe it's the pen?
Samsung often runs aggressive trade-in programs during their launch window. Later, there are first party and third party discounts and deal, plus carrier bundles too.
There's definitely price creep in the iPhone lineup and I'm sure ASP has increased because of it.
Exactly. Now VCs will be looking at profitable startups instead of startups that are highly dependent on raising money every month and make little to no revenue to cover the inflated salaries.
Somehow i doubt the world’s startup engine, the us, will never get back to sprouting startups again. This situation as many before it will turn around.
You're being disingenuous. PAs are required to have 2000 hours of clinical experience before they can sit for their licensing exam. NPs however only require 500 hours. MDs require 4000 hours.
I’m a MD and this isn’t even remotely correct and the number seems to be pulled out of thin air. Comparing a 2 year PA program with a 4 year MD program plus mandatory 2-7 year additional training is extremely disingenuous.
Where are you getting these numbers? 4000 hours for what specialty? Let’s take Pediatric Emergency Medicine as an example. 4 years of med school, 3 years of residency, then 3 years of fellowship.
That’s many times 4k hours. The difference in training time between a newly minted PA and MD working in a children’s ER is not 2x, it’s many times that.
