I have done some benchmarking of Qt/C++ vs Eletron/node performance while I was working on rbkit-client ( https://github.com/code-mancers/rbkit-client ) and frankly performance gap is huge for stuff like pars

I admit I do have tons of emails, but It would be hard to find a programmer who doesn't have tons of emails these days. What with bunch of github notifications, mailing lists - I am always sitting at more emails than I can possibly han

I really wanted an Email client for Linux which isn't power hungry but unfortunately last I tried Nylas - it was always top app in `powertop`. An always running app has to be low on power consumption IMO, but because so many apps are b

It seems scammers are targeting first generation immigrants to US more than anyone else. Now - as a immigrant myself I can imagine how traumatic it can be to get call from IRS when you don't know your way around tax system. Obviously

I have been watching elementary from the sidelines and I am wondering how deep is the keyboard integration in Pantheon? I moved from OSX to Linux recently too and I am generally pretty happy with multi-monitor and pseudo-tiling support in g

Which distribution you are running? You want to post output of xev to xorg-libinput bug tracker. Generally they are very responsive about fixing touchpad for new devices. I don't know why - but it appears that each device needs to be t

But in US - restaurants is not the only place you tip. A 20% tip on $40 bill amount to $8, which is okayish. 10% would be perhaps okay for most people. But recently I moved home and paid $850 to movers for 6 hours of work(4 guys and a truck

In this particular case, my thinking says Author is probably telling the truth. She has really no incentive of saying anything at all, she can keep it all to herself. On other hand - never in my career, I have seen HR truly standing up for

I can echo this. Even in India - Dell replaced my wife's motherboard which was slightly out of warranty by sending a tech. support to our home with replacement motherboard. On other hand - I have written a entire blog article about how

State of Georgia mandates 0 day paid maternity leave. Was quite shocking for me in this day and age - having moved from London. Also although I like Atlanta, the casual racism comment is not unfounded. For example, we have bunch of white on

Soo.. as an Indian who has traveled a lot in Indian trains, the smell of food never bothered me. There is something to be said about Indian food though - by very nature it smells different compared to say western food. Spices - oh boy ton

I will try and answer networking question. At scale a single host can be running may be 20 containers and port collision becomes a real problem. So imagine if a container opened a port directly on host -we have to be careful that they don&#

Long time 1Password user here. I use it on bunch of Machines and I wish you guys supported Linux. :( Heck 1Password mostly works under Wine, except perhaps there is no unlock on Secure desktop and bunch of other usability things.

This is how Emacs looks in it - http://imgur.com/E6cLkoF . Turning off the theme I am using fixes it, but many emacs shortcuts don't work.

To play devil's advocate. How do I play Dota2 without steam? No - not even multiplayer matchmaking but just offline with bots. Almost all Valve titles are Steam exclusive.

So, is this "released" yet? There are no downloadable installers or even instructions to compile.

Another problematic part is styling. QtWidgets can be styled using css and it works really well. QtQuick controls on other hand can't be styled using CSS, which is bit of a bummer IMO.

It is interesting that - this change will force organizations to pay for "bot" users - that exist for deployment/notifications etc. Our payment bill just doubled from $50 to $106 now (including the bot accounts).

Looks really nice. although I am bit sad to see that - it requires structured schema. I have been lookout for a metric collection system (like influxdb) and this would fit very well - except the schema part.

I love go but if one thing that it is not is - expressive, especially when compared to its dynamic cousins like Ruby/Python. That is a tradeoff I am willing to live with, but there is no need to get starry eyed over it.

See I neither agree or disagree with your opinions about wolfram. But by discussing wolfram's character in this thread you have managed to steer entire discussion on wolfram rather than mathematics of Ramanujan. Unfortunately this happ

I love Elixir very much, but most unixy languages have access to `writev`. Yes that is not default for most IO but programmers typically can choose. I have done some benchmarks of using `writev` vs concatenating smaller strings using memcpy

Leaving aside that he works for Canonical, it is unfair to judge phone solely on "Author didn't seem very excited about it". Different people have different ways of expressing themselves. You can't expect everyone to wri

lets not be naive. A head of state can't have $2 billion in offshore saving without illegally sourcing some of that money. So for corporations, even though they are too evading tax, their sources of income is known. For many powerful i

I didn't mean standups as meetings. I think standup is a good idea as it is and for most teams it lasts hardly more than 5-7 minutes (and some teams have moved it to emails). I meant 20-30 minute meetings that teams typically have, lik

It is interesting that Agile movement has in general enshrined idea of time boxed team meetings for software teams. And in general - we engineers are wary of long meetings. And yet - most of us measure ourselves, how we are performing in a
