This is one of those data structures that everyone should try building at least once, kind of like linked lists, etc. Semi-unrelated, I built a couple of toy implementations a few years ago using the same basic ideas: * This one is the my o

Anecdotally, the timing doesn't match. Based on this https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/116329/what-s-up-with-... it looks like they went down on early on the 8th give or take a bit and the other was post

It's screen width ... more than likely the developer has a wider screen/window and they didn't check it on lower resolutions.

Step one: Talk to a lawyer and an accountant and have them document what you're entitled to based on the books and existing agreements. (You don't have to use this, but you want to have it on hand if things get nasty.) Step Two: D

As ben_jones stated, a client and server need a formalized contract or you're doomed to break things. Whatever you use needs to at a minimum be: - internally consistent - sufficiently documented that a developer on either side understa

There's nothing really wrong with RPC in my book, just don't call it REST when it's not. I'd say the bigger issue is that a large number of people implement an RPC variant and call it REST because it's on HTTP and n

That's not how these "publishers" work. They don't rely on the ability to sell the final product to make money. What they do is charge the hapless and naive, budding author for the privilege of being published and vari

That would work, but perform like caro. There are a large number of effects that need shared memory tricks to work efficiently in X. So, any "modern" desktop is going to be iffy running that way.

I use Virtualbox daily without ever using a desktop environment in the VM. It's very useful in headless form for development machines when working locally.

tl; dr; A single application does not represent a single mental task/context. Yup! I work on web applications and run a three monitor setup roughly like this: * Web Ui with what I'm currently working and the occasional api doc * E

Automation tends to make those kinds of errors worse rather than better. Perhaps more infrequent and of a different nature than before, but screwing up an automated action cascades much, much faster than a human initiated one. As a result,

To me, make VR available as the primary "desktop" for a system and you might have a better market. Why buy more monitors when you can just look sideways?

Water isn't passing over the dam, it's passing over a much shorter wall to the side of the dam with unprotected earth around and below it. Large volumes of water tend to wash away dirt and could potentially undermine this side wal

Reading this, it just clicked where the "brash american cowboy" stereo type comes from. I've wondered about that for the longest time. We tend to play loosey goosey until there's a "reason" to get serious.

One way around this is to divide the problem ... Compile to an intermediate format that is closer to what you want your final output to be. FORTH is a reasonable example and P-Code is another one ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wi
