so... properties that require a steeper learning curve, a system that's worse far worse than JPA+Spring Data (or you could use the hibernate in both languages - a java development), another word for var/let, I'd disagree about generics, var/let again, I wonder what rust devs would say about these null inline conditionals that require more knowledge, and... yield is actually neat if also not another non-traditional baggage thing to learn. Anyhow, I guess my take is that Rust is a better language than C# in all the ways that C# might be better than Java and more... Except that C# is a lot like Java and is the language of choice if you use Unity - so it does have a big awesome ugly library that Java does not have. Really we should feel sorry about all the Unity baggage C# devs get to deal with. Then there's Microsoft land, which has not inspired me of code quality and can't get out of VB think.
Maybe it's less of a C# thing, and more of a Unity thing - but I'd say that Unity has some major architectural anti-patterns - which may just be to appease the ease of a the awesomeness of a wysiwyg type game engine.
Polymorphism and inheritance by default?
I gotta ask what in particular "problems" C# solves over Java, and I'm not talking about J2SE 1.4. Having dipped into C#, it feels like the designers resented OOP and reusable code. C# is not the new kid on the block and is almost 20 years old now.

If you believe Facebook to have violated the law in your state, you can write your Attorney General and ask them to enforce the law or explain how Facebook is not in violation of the law.

FB isn’t the service provider, they’re intercepting and recording private conversations they aren’t a party to... where not all the parties are consenting, and sometimes the party is not of age to consent... If it’s criminal, why should they be given “time”?

How is this not in violation of most wiretapping laws? Facebook is not the common carrier in these cases. Both parties of conversations with teens are not consenting to the wiretapping, which is not allowed in many US states. I’m not sure teenage consent is considered “consent” and the parents aren’t a party to the conversations Facebook is wiretapping. Facebook is both paying people and recording the electronic communications... So how the hell is this legal under current laws?
Re:YAML: probably not so great after all (2017)

If the problem YAML is size / formatting, that's something a good IDE can simplify even more. For loading up configs that would otherwise be properties files, I have found it to be quite clean. If you think of it a domain language for configuration, YAML is great. It can be understood pretty much intuitively, and it does some things quite well. On the other hand, when it comes to exchanging data, JSON > XML > X12 EDI... EDI? Yes, it's still a thing... a terrible thing...
Re:Twitter urges users to change passwords after computer 'glitch'

If a hash is salted with a domain it won't be use-able on other websites. You should additionally hash the hash on the server, and if you store the client hashes, you can update the salts on next-sign in. A better question is why clients should be sending unhashed passwords to servers in the first place.
