Linux is one of the best Win-API platforms. It is the absolute best for backwards compatibility: it runs 16 bit apps. Now it is getting faster for gaming. And the reverse relation is also true: In Linux, the best backwards compatible stable

That would require them to accept it was the wrong decision. I am doing the only thing I can: to vote with my wallet. My current phone is a Sony Xperia and it has the headphone jack. I am listening to Hi-Fi music from Tidal right now, using

I am testing Slint for exactly the same thing. An alternative to Qt/wxWidgets. It is written in Rust.

To me that's the people who write desktop software in Electron. Hate that.

Now that's an stupid argument. I'm with you. Removing SQL injection has little if anything to do with performance, so it is not an optimization. I guess we will get more of this with the vibe coding craze.

If you want an easy, stress free job, sure, nothing is high stakes. You will never be invited to meetings with executives, and you can google everything all the time. If you, on the other hand, attend meetings, you will need both deep knowl

You can just do nothing and it will work. It's also the easiest and cheapest option.

CI doesn't magically takes care of security, that's a naïve understanding of vulnerabilities. Someone with the right mindset needs to be there providing guidance and architectural input. And even then that's not enough. Somet

It absolutely falls apart more often than not. And requires even better engineering practices than before, because people are just accepting the code changes without understanding the technical debt created by them. On this I agree. There a

Now add an Android client and exit node support and it will completely replace Tailscale for me. :)

Apikulture. A small, fast alternative to Postman/Insomnia that doesn't upload your data to the cloud. Written in C++ and Slint, it was also a testbed of slint as an UI framework. Having used wxWidgets in the past, and Qt recently,

It doesn't matter, one way or the other. The overall market share will decide. In some cases, I think good code will be a decisive factor. Think Steam launcher Vs Epic. Epic doesn't have good code. Their performance suffers in con

And with all these faults it's still better than Bad Bunny.

People do these kind of decisions every day, every second. Shit bloated code is one of the reasons Epic Launcher is extremely behind in market share when compared to Steam. Sure, they ship their product fast. They can iterate faster than Va

I'm sorry to get into this conversation, but the performance of a model is some orders of magnitude lower (meaning it requires greater amounts of specific computing power) than all the network stack of all the nodes involved in the int

I'm sorry but this article is just clickbait. It's comparing cables, which everyone with some experience knows they make no difference. I expected something more substantial, like a comparison of different IEM price tiers, or a co

I used to dislike TCL/Tk because of the ugly toolkit and also language. Now I wish it had won instead of the unholy abomination we have with Electron apps.

The buttons are not swapped. The close button is the one further away from the center, closest to the corner. Same as in Windows. It just makes sense.

I already know that. That's why we have deterministic algorithms, to simplify that complexity. You have much to learn, witty answers mean nothing here, particularly empty witty answers, which are no better than jokes. Maybe stand-up co

You really need to go and learn about the concept of determinism and why for some tasks we need and want deterministic solutions. It's an important idea in computer science. Go and learn.

There are countless good audio players now. I am using Amberol, it looks just amazing in a modern desktop and plays my FLAC collection. About using the command line... I just type open musicfile.flac and it works. Opening another file adds

I migrated a database with some stored procedures from MSSQL Server to Oracle. Then lots of logic was added as stored procedures to the database. Then I migrated the same system to MySQL. Including the SP. Doesn't happen often, but it

Because every single database vendor will try to lock down their users to their DBMS. Oracle is a prime example of this. Stored procedures are the place to put all business logic according to Oracle documentation. This caused backslash from
