The plugins for alternative languages (PHP, Python) are available only for IntelliJ Ultimate / paid. It's not available in free / open source IntelliJ

So either [1] you buy IntelliJ Ultimate & get Java + other languages (PHP, Python, Ruby, etc except .NET and C++)

or [2] you buy the language specific IDE (cheaper) like PhpStorm, PyCharm, etc

How does Ember.js compare to Angular? Both seems to aim to be a complete solution / batteries included.

(I'm not familiar with Ember.js)

Do you think .NET is currently being badly managed compared to Java? And do you think it will negatively affect .NET's long term future?

You also don't like developing web frontends, you only like developing backends & games :p

Python is popular in data science, AI & those field depends on a lot of native libraries: NumPy, SciPy, etc. Maybe that's why they chose the async await model

I don't know about single step when debugging, but it seems intelligible stack trace for async code is available only recently, starting with .NET Core 2.1

What do you think about .NET?

No this doesn't record DOM structure changes.

Instead this captures network traffic (bytes) into a .warc file. Then you can replay it later (from the website) or you can download the .warc file to your computer & play it offline using the desktop app (Webrecorder player app) see the bottom of the page or [1]

The downside is that the desktop app is slow (5 seconds to loads a page on my laptop). I've created a fast player app that loads pages instantly, but I haven't open sourced it yet ;)

I wonder what they use on the backend. Is it .NET Core?

Do you think Blazor is doomed to fail because of this?

What do you think about WebAssembly?

PWA in Windows 10 can access the same APIs as UWP C# & C++ apps https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/progressive-....

I don't know about Android / ChromeOS.

I often read complaints that Xamarin is buggy (builds randomly stop working, often need to restart Visual Studio, etc).

How's your personal experience with Xamarin? How's the tooling compared to Android Studio?

I think brango's point is that it can be dangerous to give medical advice if you are not qualified / not a MD, & even then, it should be given only after proper examination

Other than the "Dash to Panel" extension mentioned by another user, you can also use the "Dash to Dock" extension to get pinnable taskbar (can be set to always visible / auto hide).

I no longer use them though (to get more screen space)

I think the last problem is commonly called "procrastination" and different from workaholism & doing busywork like creating needless meetings, reports, etc.

Can I ask you to work excellently in your job & donate some % of your income to a charity for some amount of time (not just a one time thing) ? ;)

Any charity with good reviews in http://www.givewell.org/ and https://www.charitynavigator.org/ are OK.

Dart is quite similar to Java. If you are already familiar with Java I believe it will take you very little time to get started with Dart.

FWIW, I was able to write two small but useful program in Dart in one day, without any experience with the language at all:

- A script to convert CSV file to SELECT ... UNION ALL SELECT ... statements

- A script to parse my timesheet (in Emacs' org-mode) & insert it into my client's timesheet database

I just used these 3 resources:

[1] Dart language tour https://www.dartlang.org/guides/language

[2] Standard library introduction https://www.dartlang.org/guides/libraries

[3] Standard library reference (like JavaDocs) https://api.dartlang.org/stable/1.24.2/index.html

[4] And the pub package manager https://www.dartlang.org/tools/pub

Who cares whether the code came from our head or from something publicly available on the internet, or from someone willing to help us?

I hope you are not implying it's OK for students to blindly copy / use code they don't understand.

Otherwise you will end up with "professional" software developers who can't even solve FizzBuzz :p

I have not used Qt, which is why I'm asking (but I've used Swing in the past)

AFAIK, Qt also uses the same approach (it does not use native widgets), yet it does not get the same bad reviews like Swing & JavaFX.

On the opposite, I think people generally like it.

I wonder why?

Dart is used for AdWords [0] and AdSense [1]. Both of which account for 89% of Google's revenue.

It's also used for Google's internal CRM (Greentea), and Google Fiber.

What about open source antivirus software like ClamAV?

For writing text, I prefer to type on a computer because I can easily rearrange / edit things. You can't do that on paper.

I prefer paper for drawing though (diagrams / flowchart / etc). Has anyone tried using drawing tablet like Wacom? How does it feel compared to drawing on paper?
