Our application has the language concept of Latin American Spanish and I need to select a Culture Info to use for that language file. Microsoft has a culture for 17 different Latin American countries and I need to choose one that best represents them all. Any input on which one that might be?
¡Viva México! !México es el mejor país del mundo¡
...or rather, I'd just go by population:

(Assuming no greater knowledge of your intended market.)
I wasn't aware localizations existed beyond the es master category...

If they haven't already established some sort of hierarchy then this seems like a fairly strange feature.

Why is that Gartner excludes Elasticsearch and Apache Solr in magic quadrant?
Aren't they enterprise search engines?
This post (opensource Versus Gartner Quadrant)) is very good and shows that the focus of Gartner is mainly on technologies coming out of big blues companies.
Magic quadrant is to help buy a solution, not to help buy a free solution.
Even if nosql is well used, robust, and huge today, Gartner Analyst - Donald-Feinberg does not think it is a quadrant choice for non webapps.
One exception is Redis.
I have participated in a Gartner event, and could say that it's mainly a vendor place. If you have big revenues, you can appear in the quadrant, otherwise forget it! Solr, ElasticSearch are great products even if not appearing in the Quadrant ! ;)

The question "Is Functional GUI programming possible?" was asked three years ago, a lot has changed since then. Things like the RX framework must have changed the way functional GUI programming can be done (in .NET at least). Clearly it is possible to do functional GUI programming; what would be the current best practice for it?
Edit to address the On Hold status:
What are the ways that you can do GUI programming in F#? Particularly are there any new approaches that did not exist when the question "Is Functional GUI programming possible?" was asked. What have been peoples experiences with these approaches? Positive and negative. Examples of what works and what doesn't would be great.
maybe check into FsXaml and FsViewModule and watch the related video presentation from Reed Copsey

This is a trivial question - but something I always miss in the day-to-day programming.
Is there a gook lookup reference available for the common algorithms that we usually face in our everyday programming - sorting,sequences,graphs.
The emphasis is more on the applicability and pseudocode ,rather than the mathematical proofs(which I find is what books tend to stress on).
The idea is to keep a ready reference,as and when we need to resort to one of these algorithms into our respective development project and languages.

GW-Basic was my first programming language. And i never found out what the 'GW' stands for.
From the Wikipedia article:
There are several theories on what the
initials "GW" stand for. Greg Whitten,
an early Microsoft employee who
developed the standards in the
company's BASIC compiler line, says
Bill Gates picked the name GW-BASIC.
Whitten refers to it as Gee-Whiz BASIC
and is unsure if Gates named the
program after him. The Microsoft
User Manual from Microsoft Press also
refers to it by this name.
It may have also been nicknamed
Gee-Whiz because it had a large
number of graphics commands.
Other common theories as to the
initials' origins include "Graphics
and Windows", "Gates, William"
(Microsoft's president at the time),
or "Gates-Whitten" (the two main
designers of the program).

I got a quick question for my spanish-speaking folks.
You know, in this profession becomes very natural to start thinking in English for several reasons, best documentation and books are in English, programming languages are in English and community resources like SO are in English.
I'm writing a Software Requirements Specifications for a web app I'm about to start coding, but a question rose, what is the correct translation for Software Requirements Specification document?
Muchas gracias!
