Yeah, no reason for PHP to catch strays here, especially if his knowledge is still based on 4.1. It's really a whole new language compared to back then.
Silverlight was awesome, too bad Microsoft abandoned it. You think they could've done something with it like decoupling from the browser, instead of making all these different UI frameworks that are fizzling out.
So that was wrecked after .net framework became .net core (and thus needed crossplatform).
Then some shitheads at Microsoft got the “release new UI framework to get a promotion” annual bug: winui, maui, etc.
All that instead of making WPF crossplatform.
That’s why C# succumbed to server API only (and games of course, but those blokes suffer as most great C# features are not supported in Unity).
That was the grandeur of Windows Vista: not the OS but completely new dev stack (wpf, linq, wcf, etc.) that was feature rich for a few decades to come. And they fucked most of it up instead of building further on the same foundation.
And after you keep abandoning the technologies devs will say FU and go to something more stable to build a business.
Even now, .net is keep getting rewritten (meaning existing features being abandoned) because board wants those sweet-sweet money from the cloud functions and what have you instead of you being self-hosted and not vendor-locked
12 years old untouched framework (Nette). It worked with PHP 5.4 but as hosting provider switched to PHP 8, I’d rather pay extra fee for 5.4 and slowly rebuild site to 8, because there are so many things you probably need to change… This is the reason why Fortran or COBOL people are so valued for banks…because you want continuity not breakups.
There is some truth to this. One of the fails we had was pricing our product too low, where it was looked at as a stepping stone to something more expensive, even though it provided the same exact functionality minus the fancy looking ui. There were businesses that wanted to get out of their existing application suite, but are hooked in due to management perception and the sunk cost fallacy. The company who overpriced considerably is reaping millions per year on that application. If I could just go back in time..
T-SQL can handle that alias expr just fine, but the seqNum returned is 4,8,12,16,20 instead of the 1,2,3... I tried on MySQL and it works fine. I'm not sure how SQL Server is handling those cartesian joins differently
Unless I missed somewhere in the article, it is possible that it wasn't a scam and he probably just leveraged his initial stake. When it fell below the margin, he needed the money to avoid the loss.
The article talks about him being persuaded by persons "met on the internet" to "invest" in "crypto". There is absolutely no scenario in which an attractive woman sends you a LinkedIn message with the intent of getting you to make legitimate - albeit leveraged - crypto investments.
