   Fair benchmarking is really hard. It is much better to compare languages on features, safety, programmer efficiency etc. But you can't boil that down to a single number. The most fair benchmarks I've seen are to implement strict

   While not a formal proof, it is fairly obvious that verifying a match is in P. Just fill in the captured groups from the answer in the regex and see if it corresponds to the input text. Every SAT problem can be converted into a 3-SAT proble

   It might give a small boost to Windows-on-ARM that Microsoft has been trying for over a decade. Porting a typical windows app might be easier than porting to Mac/Linux because you still have DirectX and all the Windows libraries. The

   backwards compatibility is still highly valued. Code no longer compiling in newer versions of the languages can create huge churn. It's one of the reasons Java is so widely used, you can still use Java 1.4 libraries in Java 13 and most

    Would leader/follower work in this context? I find it difficult to think of a context where they aren't similar enough to be replacements. Sure you can nitpick about how strict the leader/follower relationship is, but master&

    Companies such as Facebook, Amazon and Google are so large and powerful that they are bad for consumers or society. Google can, and has, change the web single handedly. Other companies and browser-makers have no choice but to follow due to

    That also explains why Apple could exclude abuse happening in the logs, which some commenters have refuted. If they have all the JWTs, seeing if one had a different e-mail than the logged-in user should be fairly doable.

    Yeah, quite weird. PHP as a webserver has a large amount of known language design things which decreased security (most have been removed over the years afaik), but for scripting? I can't think why it's particularly insecure compa
