Is this yet-another Apple scheme to avoid taxes or raise stock prices? Many of these "clean energy projects" are incentivized by the governments through tax benefits, additional investment, or giving land basically for free (and l

I'm happy to see ECL's restarted development! How many changes are between ECL and MKCL (MKCL was/is an ECL fork)? If I'm not mistaken, ECL is (one of a few) embeddable languages that can generate a C code and provide re

The title is misleading, just like other commenters mentioned. Just check how much indirection "rb_iv_get()" has to make (at the end, it will call [1], which isn't "a light" call). Now, check generated JIT code (in

You can use HAProxy on a cheap shared Hetzner server (2GB or RAM will be plenty for it) as an alternative for Hetzner LB. It will give you more flexibility and dynamic scaling [1] without downtime (plus it has very good management API throu

There is a difference between writing software because you like it or want to solve your problem and writing software because you plan to earn something. Respectfully, I'm not here with a developer, and I disagree with you. mold develo

This combo does the job for me: grafana + riemann + influxdb and collectd as the main agent. collectd bundles many plugins so you can watch logs, monitor running processes or have something custom [1]. This setup is very light to start with

IMHO, this is more a choice overload [1] than a technical problem. You can pick whatever distro (another choice overload) and start using the default desktop environment, which is more than enough. Qt vs. gtk for desktop development? Use wh

Whatever happens, I'm hoping we won't see another 2to3-like migration. I moved from Python a long time ago due to its multi-threaded limitations (among other things) to Java and JVM, and I really appreciate the stability the JVM t

These are not languages for wide masses, TBH; they often require a paradigm shift, and you need to change how you approach the problems. Take, for example, Scheme - it doesn't have for/while loops out of the box, yet you can build

Yet CEO's bonus in 2022 was 20x bigger than his salary. I don't think it will be less this year either; with all-time high stock price and these "cost cuts", he will be wholesomely rewarded.

Gtk devs could learn much from projects like Linux, Windows, OpenJDK, Clojure, Emacs, or FLTK wrt backward compatibility. When Linus announced Kernel 5.0, it was "just another release" [1]. But, unfortunately, I'm getting the

IMHO, this is a too simplistic view of things. Personally, I don't judge a tool by how easy to start with or how easy it is to understand but by how easy it is to fix something when things begin to fall apart. In this field, K8s is a m
