In Western Europe at least, I think you would have a much better chance if you were applying for a .NET, Java, or PHP position (which given your C experience, you should be able to master any of them). Golang has a much smaller market share here, so that is very limiting (even for younger devs). Most .NET and Java companies I work for would still happily hire experienced senior developers in their 40s or 50s.

For iOS it's being able to save things first. The ability to use the chat on iOS is a second priority for me.

Looks great! At first glance, this appears to be the service I've been searching for. I'm currently using raindrop to bookmark items I intend to read later, but its search and recollection functionality leaves much to be desired.

I'm definitely going to give it a try. However, for it to become a permanent part of my routine, it would need a Safari browser extension and an iOS app (compatible with both iPhone and iPad) to allow easy sharing and saving of content from within other apps. Stuff that Raindrop supports.

Additionally, is there an API available so that I can manually script or route content from currently unsupported sources?

I can recommend Pop!_OS for a good out-of-the-box Linux distro for development

I'm already seeing a lot of enterprise companies gearing-up to go all-in on Blazor. Having a single language (C#) for web, mobile and all other back-end services must be huge draw for them.

> What's funnier too, is that it's been possible to write F# on the frontend for a while now, compiling down to javascript (like clojurescript). It makes me wonder why this approach was never done with C# too, even if there are pitfalls in compiling to javascript.

There have been several initiatives which allowed you to do that. None of them really successful. I've worked with one specifically in the past (can't remember the project's name though), which even had C# types/bindings for Knockout.js.

How did you manage to get different scaling to work, if I may ask? That's the only thing I haven't been able to get properly working myself. I have a similar laptop screen, and 3 external 4k monitors. I would love to be able to scale my laptop screen differently as well :)

To be fair stuff like Design Patterns, SOLID, Domain-Driven Design etc. come up in a lot of interviews for "business application development" roles in other languages as well, especially C# and Java. What's ironic is that often on your first day on the job, you'll be put to work on a codebase which violates those principles in a lot of ways.

Not a PHP developer myself, but in my area most web development is still done in PHP. The modern PHP language is a lot like any other high level language now, but the main attraction of PHP are (still) the massively popular (and stable) open-source frameworks such as Symfony, Laravel, WordPress, Magento etc. A big supply of developers and high development pace of custom apps through such frameworks is why it will remain the defacto choice for a lot of webdev shops (at least in my area).

Off-topic but thanks for the tip on Seveneves! Never heard of the book before, but looking it up seems like my cup of tea :)

Oh, you're right. I overlooked that last paragraph.

I'm sorry that you feel that way. I was already aware of the fact that it was both half a film, and that the second part wasn't green-lit yet. Despite of this, the film completely lived up to to my expectations.

I'll rather do it on Denis Villeneuve's behalf, who I regard as one of the best filmmakers of the current era. I couldn't care less about Warner/HBO.

George R.R. Martin also wrote his books on a DOS machine running WordStar 4.0

It's fantastic. Go see it in Imax if you can.

Going to the theaters will help to get part 2 made.

Give it another decade or so, and I can see Lucasfilm/Disney making full feature films starring only deepfake 'clones' of the original trilogy characters in their younger/O.T. forms.

ASP.NET Web Forms + Telerik components always came really close for me for web apps. And to lesser extend Xamarin Forms for mobile as well.

Me too :) I'm not Danish but that movie holds a strange fascination for me.

Fair enough. I had the same feeling with older tablets that I owned (early iPad's and Samsung Android tablets), but the iPad Pro did hit a sweet spot for me.

I absolutely agree.

Programming, video editing, graphics design, writing papers, etc... For these applications the iPad Pro has been a disappointment

Apart from maybe graphics design, I don't believe the iPad Pro was ever advertised to do those things (if I'm not mistaken), so I can imagine your disappointment if you expected to do those things on it.
