Why? With the NT now you can run Windows binaries AND Linux binaries. With the Linux kernel you can only run Linux binaries (no WINE does not count). How is that an improvement?

Why use an inferior kernel like Linux when Microsoft already has an superior kernel like NT?

Without any data to back this up, my guess is that there is no good reason to pick C++ for a new project except when the developer is already fluent in C++. Assume we have this abstract developer that has a good knowledge in programming the

Correct, the problem is the misguided idea of immigration when automation is the future.

The thing with fighter aircraft is that you don't need the latest and the greatest at production day, what you need is a extendable platform for the future & and good training platform for the pilots. These platforms need to live f

Yes, and that is why the F-35 can't replace the A-10, it is too fast, it can't loiter in the combat area & pick targets when they appear, this makes the F-35 a bad ground support aircraft when battles prolong for several hours

Even though PWA:s are good in theory, will it only increase Google's grip on the web? Has the web standards become so complex that it is inevitable that we will have a Chromium monoculture?

by fetbaffe 8y ago
Yep, sad state of affairs. Sad day when Microsoft succumbed to Chromium monoculture. However when I develop I always develop for Firefox first, but the Firefox developer tools are starting to age as well.

by fetbaffe 8y ago
Correct. I just think that Google is a bigger problem than this Chinese consortium. If I practically could I would avoid both. Tried running Edge for a while, which is gentle on battery, however Edge is just lacking.

If you want to get away from Chrome my tip is to use Opera. Same engine underneath & can handle same extensions (with a proper extension installed) but without Google. Opera also has a battery saving feature.

My main problem with Firefox is that it eats my batteries, otherwise I would have used it as my main browser.

Sure, there is always practical limitations, but I think that is less of a problem today than it used to be. We have newer languages, but also a lots of languages have gotten better to interface lower level libraries. Experienced programmer

Even though you can still screw up as as a programmer in a better tool, you should still pick that tool if that reduces the security risk by a number of percent over another tool. (as a swede would say "Think of the percentage") S

It is not how I interpreted it. What I heard was salesman pitching an expensive product as a bargain. Even though frameworks have lots of drawbacks, I think it solves one problem really well, it gives you, the team, a direction. Doing Event

It is worrying that a central figure to Event Sourcing & CQRS like Greg Young reduces the "framework" to a function, a pattern match & a left fold. Linked in the article https://youtu.be/LDW0QWie21s?t=1926

Bad idea. This would probably lessen innovation & freedom. You could make this argument for any piece of software, then you realize that each software solves a different problem, including technically & philosophically.
