I was just about to ask if it is available for Linux, but then I saw that the official page advertises its cross-platform properties [1] :D I know about the different concept of Powershell for quite a while now, but since it is MS tech I di

And that is probably one of the reasons why projects like Paludis were started years ago. The funny thing about Portage is though that Python doesn't cause any performance issues as Portage/Emerge is slow by design. So while Palud

It's about stability. It is much easier to break a dynamically linked or interpreted script than a statically linked binary. The worst case of fixing a system with a software failure is booting a live-cd and replace the files which cau

Sometimes I wonder which languages people use for system tools. I mean, it is hard enough that C programs (with dynamic linking) break sometimes, but building a shell on top of Python seems like a particualar bad choice to me (similar to bu

Well, one argument against cookie based sessions is that they get send automatically which opens a large attack vector for CSRF. (yes, you can store JWTs in cookies too, but that is kinda uncommon)

Well, I think Dr. Alexander is doing a great job. I mean, he is protecting the mental health of his patients by using the authority he has been given and I think that is what his job is about. Nevertheless, he might do even better if he wou

Try putting some amount ($20, $100, doesn't really matter) aside which you will spend on 'useless' things every month. Just make sure you spend that money and you don't spend it on things you buy normally. After a while

In fact, I am not completely sure about the state of Generics in C++. AFAIK the term 'Generics' was coined in context of Java, but C++ has a similar concept they call Templates. Maybe you could elaborate on what is the exact diffe

Well, there is another problem with my suggestion: At the moment, Maps have no problem using custom structs as they stack up the comparable attribute of the containing fields. If you would use a normal interface you would have to define how

I am not quite fond of the idea of having C++/Java Style Generics (I simply don't like the syntax that comes with it), but I see that the current system is broken. From my current perspective I think fixing some things related to

I didn't know you could replace OpenCL with Metal. I thought for GPU computing there are just OpenCl and CUDA. Does Vulkan offer an alternative to OpenCL too?

Lets just hope Microsoft has learnt how they tend to kill good products by merging them into their ecosystem and won't do that. If Microsoft honestly wants to improve GitHub, they should ask the community first.

For me this is the response to 'how do you build stable/scaleable/.../good web apps in 2018', but sadly not to 'favorite way of getting a web app up quickly in 2018?'. The whole process of starting a new V

Please correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I remember the combination of PHP and sqlite fails fairly quickly when if comes to concurrent users? Don't get me wrong, I am very fond of sqlite, but to use it efficiently you have to man

In comparison to Portage it is fast, but I wouldn't consider Portage a benchmark ;-) and if you compare Paludis with Apt/Yum/Pacman and the likes it is still very slow (e.g. comparing installing binary packages). The comparis

Well, package management often starts too simple. Sadly, most people who build new ones seem to ignore the lessons from earlier projects. In my opinion, Paludis/Cave [1] is a decent example of which cases have to be handled, but as it
