Re:Starlink Maritime on Friday July 08, 2022 @04:51AM (#32024547)
I'm curious to understand if and when inter-satellite links can reduce the latency of a starlink connection
Re:Starlink Maritime on Friday July 08, 2022 @04:48AM (#32024530)
as you might know, it's also about bandwidth and latency. LEO satellites can be an enabler for a lot of remote operation, IF (and this is a big IF) latency remain small also with intersatellite links, and connection reliability is comparable to GEO

they can release Activision and Bethesta titles only with game pass, and let Sony and Nintendo be free to implement game pass in their platform

I'd like the idea of vertical slices for this: once you've done this, then refactor to microservices will be much easier.

Keep in mind that, although I partially agree with you, other platforms are way-worse than .NET. think about nodejs mess and client-side ecosystem, where things break almost at any minor release. Dev world is going fast, and I think that the choice for .NET is to embrace change or die as an old platform. My2Cents.

openlayers is more a gis platform, while leaflet is easier to use and closer to Google maps api

> I do worry about the cognitive burden of remembering idioms and dealing with multiple ways to do the same thing

To me, VS 2019 refactoring suggestions and Roslynator extensions helped a lot to learn and use new syntax capabilities and idioms: you write code in "the same old way" and then often roslyn is able to convert this code using new features, often in a concise, readable but undebuggable way :)

I think that with the latest improvements (from v7 to now) Microsoft is trying to "fill the gap" between F# and C#, and let C# developers embrace functional paradigms (at least, some of) without switching to F# itself.

Even worse. We're stuck with html/js also for "desktop" apps, via the electon and similar. Basically, UI development is dead (Windows WPF is in maintenance mode) and if you want, as example, build some graphs you need to manipulate js in a webpage. A
