Sometimes servers don't actually go into deep suspend modes because of proprietary management interfaces. Disabling those in the BIOS can result in huge savings.

What rules do you mean? I have several roundabouts near me and most have prioritized pedestrian crosswalks on all exits (Zebrastreifen), some with extra room for cars to break when they notice pedestrians. The ones lacking pedestrian priori

You could just use a good IDE or editor instead which indexes the code for you...

Don't get me wrong, I am very glad that TS exists and I am using it at least weekly. But there are inconsistencies in the type system that are very surprising to beginners because TS is trying so hard to be good at edge cases.

I don't get TypeScript's type system. It is obviously very powerful and can model very complex type constraints. But then you have stuff like this where it is not checking types as I would expect: interface Foo { bar: string;

That's true. Single file deployments were also supported in .NET Framework, only a bit obscure by registering a callback for the assembly loader and explicitly bundling every dependency as a resource in the build process.

Nowadays you don't deploy a global JRE on machines anymore. Each application has its own JRE bundled.

Being not super familiar with Go, I think C#'s async/await is similar, isn't it? If you want more complex operations, you might want to look into System.IO.Pipelines.

To be fair, .NET only recently got AOT compilation and single binary (or self-contained) deployments as officially supported features.

Why would Microsoft need to put a NSA backdoor specifically into Defender when it could put it anywhere else into Windows with their monthly patch? It doesn't make sense to single out Defender. The same is valid for Apple, Google, and

Since JetBrains' base IDE is open source, you are not too far away from pure FLOSS. https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community

The last part of your reply is extremely condescending and an absolutely unnecessary ad hominem attack. People have been conscious about publishing their raw email address for ages be a use it attracts all kinds of bad actors, from spambots

I somewhat wished that when Chrome switches to manifest v3, uBlock Origin would stop supporting Chrome and its clones. Firefox is the only browser where uBlock Origin is actually working as intended, Chrome on the other hand (even in manife

You can usually pay the data center staff for their time to push a button or connect a few wires. Seems expensive at first when they quote you 50€/15 minutes but often way cheaper than somebody driving there and going through security

That's just bad design. There very quiet tram and railway designs available - they just cost a bit more money than the cheap 19th century designs that are still in place. Where I live in Germany the passenger trains (not even the track

I noticed that as well. I guess many people took up cycling as a leisure activity when COVID hit and suddenly noticed how dangerous cars are for them on their bicycles.

Honestly, Delphi's WYSIWYG GUI editor in the late 90s felt way more productive to me than all this Electron "cross-platform" JavaScript React thing today where you need to take of about 1000 random dependencies to render a re

Yes, this is very important. I experienced deadlocks in ASP.NET Core 2.1 when I connected a legacy application to the web with it and the developers of Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Formatters.Json forgot to add .ConfigureAwait(false) to a async

If you have legacy or UI code you are best served using Microsoft.VisualStudio.Threading to ease the pain. Not using it will land you in a world of random deadlocks and disappearing data from variables. vs-threading should be part of the .N

And people wonder why birth rates are falling and people are afraid to make long term commitments. Corporations like this don't deserve any loyalty. If I worked there and anybody offered to pay me even a few percent more, I'd leav

This is one of the reasons why maternity leave compensation is paid by the government in Germany. But to American ears that's socialism or something, I guess.

It's more likely that you die with prostate cancer than because of prostate cancer. Yes, cancer is never good but for most men prostate cancer develops late and is usually growing very slowly and doesn't spread.

For a country of slightly less than 18 million people this is still mighty impressive.

For personal accounts prepaid would make cloud offerings a lot easier and more predictable. I personally don't use any "traditional" cloud services like AWS, GCP, because of the uncertainty of costs of anything going haywire

At this size you should have a local registry that acts as a transparent cache. If you don't, then get one right now. What happens if Docker's servers are down for whatever reason? Does your whole process break?

In an ideal world every project had its own registry. Those centralized registries/package managers that are baked into tools are one of the reasons why hijacking namespaces (and typos of them) is even possible and so bad. Externalizin

In Germany I have very, very rarely seen a helmet lock. Most of the times motorcyclists put their helmet over their right side mirror and don't walk away too far.

The end result of this is something like Microsoft Teams where they are in the process of swapping out the entire underlying runtime because the team that wrote the application itself was so lazy (read: incompetent) that it is slow on liter
