Hm. Not sold. Sure, you can write terrible code with classes. But that also works great without classes. > I’m terrible at making good abstractions with classes. Then don’t. Or only do it after everything is done and you have explored th

Why WebAssembly? Just bake ad code into a SPA and that's it. Random elements with random names at random positions in the DOM, positioned using styles. Quite low-tech. If implemented properly, it cannot be blocked. At all. Except block

The problem is that you cannot figure out the actual requirements. In every non-trivial application project I had so far, the requirements (and there were lots of them) were simply not correct. The requirements the actual users created, tha

I believe the best idea is to have “hand-crafted” bitmaps for (96 ppi) sizes 24 px and less. Especially 16 px icons are very hard to get right. For 32 px and above, vector images are a valid choice. Now we just need a file format that combi

It means to allow only expected algorithms. Because as critics rightfully point out, without any whitelisting, you can just specify that your JWT does not have a signature and then it’s a valid token, whatever the contents.

I’m always amused that with JWT, there never appears to be any separation between JWT-the-storage-format and JWT-what-I-do-with-it. JWT as a storage format is great indeed. If you pin the signing/encryption algorithm. Otherwise you sho

I didn’t, because I switched to a different type of university. I could have, though. I’m not saying science should be only in the mind or maybe pen and paper. I’m saying CS should not have a “how to computer” course.

Visual Studio isn't native though. It's .NET and COM. That's also why we're still stuck with 32-bit VS.

Yes, it is exactly this naming that somehow irks me. It somehow seems to imply that this should be part of the regular CS curriculum. It should not. Indeed, universities should once again become a place where you go to pursue a career in sc

That’s cool. Now, on to my possibly unpopular opinion: This isn’t what computer science is about. In fact, you don’t even need to use a computer to do computer science. Sure, some stuff you learn in CS can make you a better software enginee

With the help of an additional “proxy”, you can. One such proxy software is Apache Guacamole. It doesn’t only do remote desktop, it also does SSH.

by fuzzy2 7y ago
My recommendation: Use Docker. No need to deal with all the gritty details. If needed, reverse-proxy it. Guacamole is (in my experience) unfortunately rather inefficient concerning bandwidth. You can’t compare it to Steam Link either, becau

Actually didn't know about `GroupByˋ. Quite strange, seeing how it builds buckets almost exactly like ˋDictionary<K, V>ˋ, according to Reference Source. Thanks for your insight. I also found out .NET Core 3 has pre-sized versions

BenchmarkDotNet looks cool, thanks for that! The problem is that I never had problems! (With LINQ-to-Objects performance.) That’s why I’m asking in the first place. Maybe I intuitively avoided all the pitfalls, who knows. It would be cool i

But that’s ~one small-ish object per operator. Unless you’re using `SelectMany` or otherwise generating queries “in a loop” I don’t see how that could be so bad.
707.
by fuzzy2 7y ago
I’m interested in what performance problems you’re seeing. Maybe then I won’t fall into the same trap in the future. Off the top of my head, the only possibility I see is allocating objects with `Select` or the like. If one can avoid that,

Hm okay. If it’s not “compatible” with streams, higher-order functions and whatnot I can see why it’s not popular. A pity, really.

Didn’t Java require all exceptions be declared in the method signature? (Haven’t used it in years.) I think that’s the best solution. You declare what error conditions could arise, but not using magic numbers. The caller can then decide whe

I prefer not to go to skiing areas for hiking. It’s usually quite boring with all the destroyed/missing vegetation where the ski trails are.

I don’t think so. If you’re just spinning up a Windows VM then yes, your Windows guy can take it from there. But that’s not cloud computing. That’s just a “server”. To really use Azure with secured applications using databases, logging, sto

It’s mainly for use in stronger isolation (ie. VMs instead of just containers). In a container, the kernel is already up and the application just has to start. In a VM, that’s not the case. By making the application “the kernel”, very fast

On templates: Weeeell, no(-ish). Angular templates are text. They are checked during AOT compilation or otherwise at runtime (were most type information is gone already). And maybe at some other point I don’t know about. The Angular Languag

Maybe because React is small (API surface) and does (or is felt to do) “one thing”. It is easy to wrap your head around it, even without fully understanding, say, the Virtual DOM diffing. Angular is very different in that regard. I recent

When I still used Android, lots of apps would put all sorts of data on the "SD card" storage. This could've included credentials.

IIRC the data lines are required for the phone to charge quickly. Without them you're limited to just 500 mA instead of up to 3 A.
