Another great example how a couple of traditional unix tools (if you want to count perl and gnuplot as traditional unix tools) can replace 250 lines of high-level language code ( https://github.com/orf/gping/blob&#x

This mentality is also called: "if you have a hammer, every problem is a nail". I guess this paradigm is much older then programming :-)

Absolutely! For me it feels as if Mac OS repeats the errors of MS Windows Vista and 10. For instance, the horrible telemetry as well as the suboptimal "one interface for touch and mouse pointer" paradigm.

I think this comment thinks still too much "within" the box. Sure, there is a large class of programming languages with similar idioms where mostly only the syntax is different. I think the rise of multi paradigm languages makes t

Can you explain me the overhead costs you have when contracting? Of course you have to pay for your office and equipment yourself. You also might have to pay (more) for health and social insurance, depending on the country where you live in

What's the state of the art with the next generation of JS frameworks, namely the ones without virtual DOM, such as svelte? My feeling since a few years is that this is where the new things happen (This impression is based on poor perf

Why? If following a link harms your business model, there is something wrong with your business model. It doesn't bother whether your business model is about tracking or non-tracking users. The idea of paying somebody for putting your

Yes, you are right. Academia is subject to a wag agreement and 100% E-13 corresponds to roughly 4000€ gross (brutto) and 2370€ net. Cf. http://oeffentlicher-dienst.info/tv-l/allg/

So here is a story about Germany, a standard western country: I recently started in IT freelancing and the loans are crazy compared to most other jobs in this country. It depends a bit on the clients, but in the finance sector 1000€/da

As somebody who has switched to Linux-only (desktop+servers) years ago, seeing how ransomeware gets "ported" to Linux makes me overthinking my backup system. Has anybody experience with immutable backups? This is so important, bec

Same question here. I guess it was used up. But: There was a hype, why didn't more money come in? Was this a flopped startup?

I don't see "print(x)" being in any way worse then "print x". If you want to save some characters, you can always just write the symbol in the REPL line: >>> x=42 >>> x 42 This alr

The nice thing is that such beauties of interfaces are rediscovered by the younger generations. The rise of the REPL interface for python is a great example which makes this language feel a lot like BASIC on stereoids. And the notebook inte

All your points are valid. I have to be honest, I was always scared off the sheer amount of protocols and ressources around IPv6. It felt that I have to deal with anycast, self-organized networks, anonymous embedding of MAC addresses, some

That's also my feeling -- the CLI tooling with imagemagick or various image libraries in various programming languages are quite good. For instance, with ipython, numpy and OpenCV I can edit images in a REPL fashion without even thinki

One problem I rarely read about IPv6 is the mixing of responsibility levels. Sure, we have 2 128 IPv6 addresses or so because nobody knows how internet infrastructure will look like in 30 years (maybe internet node virtualization is gone m

Nice tool! I just wonder: Are imagemaps still a thing? I haven't seen them since decades in the web. Clickable maps on wikipedia is literally the only thing where I still notice imagemaps.

Here in Germany such facilities will cost around 1500-3000 EUR per month. This is still way more money then most people can stem, so they pay this typically with a combination of * pension and social security (nursing case security) * incom

As someone in computational physics, let me assure you it's the same there. The one thing is doing math right and having the correct idea about coordinates. The other is being able to tell the computer about these ideas! Many people ca

So it's basically trophy money. However 1-6% shares on the startup, that's a lot of shares for a trophy.

There is so much on TLS beyond Let's Encrypt. For instance, TLS allows user certificates to authenticate the user, not the server. This works a bit like SSH passwordless login (thanks to key authentication). This technique only works i

Exactly. This is something what you would expect from an Operating System. Or from the operating systems of your multiple devices. Kudos for the developers to fill this gap.

This is so true. If you want to feel again what's possible, make a vanilla website (without JS and with very few images) and do all form processing server side. You will be astonished how fast and actually reactive this side can feel.
