If we realign our thinking around functions as data, it enables us to discover alternative solutions to standard problems OOP. For those not quite ready to jump to F#

I found this article confusing in that I see in it a strange omission of what, to me, is an obvious optimization, and, imho, a lack of demonstrating what it purports to show.
Specifics are in my comment on the article at Telerik: [^]
Other opinions ?
thanks, Bill

I know I'm not Marc (barring some truly bizarre philosophy concepts), but it seemed to me that the thrust of the article is more-or-less about practical handling of delegates for those that didn't walk into C# from a language that supports function pointers.

Hi Nathan,
While there is, indeed, only one 'Marc Clifton,' I did not intend to diminish the radiance of any of we 'lesser lights' by attempting to draw his attention to this thread.
You may enjoy some recent posts by Marc on this thread: [^]
At this point, vis-a-vis functional programming, I am just a voyeur attempting to figure out what the shadows on the walls of the cave ... refer to.
cheers, Bill

Companies have lost real revenue due to a lack of cloud expertise: on average, about 5 percent of total global revenue "No one knows the lonely one whose head's in the clouds "
|
|
|
|

Reads like yet another ad for "the cloud".
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

"According to a recent report by cloud and datcenter [sic] vendor Rackspace..." 71% of an undefined group of IT professionals "BELIEVE their organizations have lost revenue..." (emphasis added)
A group trying to sell cloud stuff polls a bunch of people who love to spend money on the latest shiny thing and all they came up with was 5%?

Yeah...cause no developer or SA has experience with someone else's computer.

In a report published on January 7 by SANS Technology Institute, Morphus Labs researcher Renato Marinho revealed what appears to be an ongoing worldwide hacking campaign by multiple attackers against PeopleSoft and WebLogic servers that leverages a Web application server vulnerability patched by Oracle late last year. Hacking, it's not just for Windows anymore
Or Linux, browsers, Office products...

Maybe this is a good trade-off: they're so busy using your processor to mine bitcoins they don't encrypt your data any more.
|
|
|
|

So let's think that further: they'll determine the way to get most money. If your processor is slow, encrypting your data may generate more profit.
As a consequence, you should buy faster processors quickly.
The processor industry will like that
Ah, now I see: the hackers are paid by the those companies trying to sell their fastest processors!
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

In this article, Ram Lakshmanan goes over the most popular myths about Garbage Collection. Don’t worry — he’ll also debunk them to make sure you won’t repeat the same mistakes ever again. It's not on Tuesdays?

Reading the title I was thinking about Garbo truck collecting bins from outside home. Then again I got woken up today early by one of those as I left my balcony door open overnight.

Microsoft reveals how Microsoft Spectre updates can slow your PC down.
FTFY
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.

Any software patch for Spectre Variant 2 is going to slow down a system. Other tests show the slow down is within the margin of error for most benchmarks, but noticeable in a few.

The new Colgate Smart Electronic Toothbrush uses Apple ResearchKit with the user's permission to crowdsource toothbrushing data so the company can "anticipate the future of oral care." I can think of no joke that is funnier than the fact this product exists

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

WTF?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

Epyc, aimed at one- and two-socket systems, isn't necessarily faster than comparable Intel Xeons, but its mix of features—lots of threads and cores, and more memory and I/O bandwidth than Intel's latest Xeon offer—along with Intel-level performance make it a serious competitor in the server space.
