If there is one topic that divides the C# developers community, it is the Hungarian notation for fields. "Here I go again on my own. Goin' down the only road I've ever known"
|

What he speaks of is not Hungarian notation, but rather scope notation (local, static, member).
Hungarian notation, as practiced, prefixes the type of the field to the name, as in m_ListOfCustBase or m_strName. This is bad.
Hungarian notation, as originally intended, names the field for what it is or contains, as in m_Customers or m_Name. This is good.

Navigating between business needs and citizen concerns is difficult. The European Commission's new rules on AI give it a go, and it will inevitably raise skepticism. But they're really good at the 'rules' thing
Quantity, anyway

It seems to me that they truly believe that reality will bend itself to their rules.

Totally agree.
Looking at what they are ruling lately, there is a raise in the skepticism regarding their common sense and their ability to understand the real world.  
And please note that I agree that some regulation is needed BY ALL MEANS, but this bunch of burocrats with no ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing clue about tech and its implications are making more damage than helping.

Node.js 16 is now available with an upgrade to the V8 JavaScript engine, prebuilt binaries for Apple Silicon, and additional stable APIs. "You come on like a dream, peaches and cream"

NOde.js. As in, no, never, not ever will I program in it.

Why? I've never done it and have no opinion. I assume you have some experience with Node.js to have such a strong, negative stance.
Just curious.

Not necessarily true... I have a strong (negative) opinion when it comes to anchovies, and will never** eat them. I've never once tried them, but I don't need to, to form a strong opinion against them.
Languages and frameworks can be like that also.
** This is obviously null and void should the zombie apocalypse occur and there is nothing else to eat. But having other options for the time being, I can decide 'strongly' not to eat them and it doesn't impact me in a negative way (that I know of).

ha ha. so you're saying node.js is like anchovies?

From what I've experienced, granted, peripherally as another developer was writing a node.js service that I was interacting with:
1. Package (npm) hell to start with. It's not quite as extreme as "you need 10 packages with 50 dependencies to be able to perform basic arithmetic", but it's close.
2. Debugging was a PITA. Not really sure why, it just was.
3. We use SQL Server. We're a Microsoft shop, basically. Having to reinvent the EF/ORM/Connection yadayada wheel for things we already have working well in C# is just plain stupid.
4. While we didn't care about performance, if I did care about performance, I wouldn't write JS to begin with.
5. Stupid bugs. Like the CRON package's first time it fired an event would consistently be off by a few seconds. No idea why.
6. Getting the node.js server to start up took hours, if not days, to figure out. The thing called "pm2" to start up a node process just doesn't work right, especially when all you want to do is have the service up and running when the server restarts.
7. Because we're a Microsoft shop, we use IIS. Which means port forwarding shenanigans in IIS to get it to proxy the node port.
It was an experiment that I agreed to instead of putting my foot down and saying, nope C#. The service , startup process, being able to ask it for its internal state, etc., was such a PITA the developer that was pushing for node.js agreed with me that it would be better to just rewrite it in C#, which I did.
So, having the guy who said "Node is awesome! Let's write this simple service in Node!" ended up agreeing with me that we should have done it in C# to begin with.
