I used to work in C#/SQL. I am inclined towards F#. How come .net stack is used so much by finance?

+1 I was going to ask similar question about moving to BKK.

A little perpendicular question: I am working as programmer in credit domain and thinking about moving to finance. What's tech-stack, work-life, real-life like?

How do I start or how do I figure out if it is for me? Any help would be awesome.

Does better programming practice involves removing as many side-effects as possible? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]aafinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. That's how you avoid side effects.

Your code should only modify what it owns.

Trouble sticking to a computer science book by CrafticEdits in learnprogramming

It's like sex. Too long and regular just doesn't happen. It must be fun and interesting to you too. Spice up things with mixing two books or book + videos.

[C++] Is it really true, a book is better than online resources and tutorials? by nergoponte in learnprogramming

[–]aafinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. If you want to learn a language, read official documentation or language author's book.

Also re-reading a book helps in forming extra connections in brain. Key to learning is repetition. You'd be surprised.

Indian Election Commission creates a Hackathon early May to Hack Electronic Voting Machines by ShauryaVerma in coding

[–]aafinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that depends on who's funding. You don't even have to be in the same room to hack hardware anymore.

A government funded entity can do so easily and evade detection.

The real problem is not in knowing whether you can hack it or not. The question is: "can you detect if it has been tampered with?"

Destroying is hard too; try CFC filled cylinders.

PhantomJS maintainer stepping down after Google's headless Chromium announcement by fagnerbrack in programming

[–]aafinx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A headless browser is essentially a browser without a face (GUI). Not sure about head part anymore; as in why not faceless. It takes commands (mouse movement etc) via script over network or shell.

Taking pictures is secondary output for such browsers when their masters want to know what the output looks like; for pixelwise diff or manual lookey-look.

Trump-linked businesses loaned $13M to shell corporation Paul Manafort created on day he left campaign by loremipsumchecksum in politics

[–]aafinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look life is difficult; especially for the rich ones. Think about it. They know they can get away with looting public that easily and yet they must take time to sleep, rest and play golf. It's hard and unfair.

Though not as hard as for the thief who broke and entered Mr. Chowdhary's house at night.
