Haven't used Perl since decades, $foo.=bar raised an eyebrow but I had a dawn of an idea what hell of a drug this is. Turns out, yes: It's syntactic sugar for $foo=$foo.bar() method invocation. Ref: https://docs.perl6.o

What I don't get about Vlang is what niche it tries to fill. The docs compare it to Go and Rust, bindings to C/C++ are emphasized as well as, on the other hand, the possibility to compile without libc. Then there is Volt, the mess

I never have seen a good use-case for allowing one search engine not to index the page while not allowing another one. Neither today, nor 20yrs ago. For the Google and As(sense?) related stuff, using robots.txt for controlling their behavio

Wow. This kind of lessons from the past, unrevealed by a person from today, is really instructive. We have Personal Computers since decades. Many problems have been already solved and are solved again worse then they used to be. That's

Try duckduckgo for a few days. I now switched since a week and I seriously noted the decreased quality of results, compared to Google. It's not the design which makes Google unique, it is still the quality of results, despite its 2019.

Absolutely true. The pessimistic view of "closing doors" once you start a family prevents one from doing anything. There won't be ever the right moment of starting a family, so why don't just do it now. I did it during m

Sure. I have a HPC background, I get paid for not wasting CPU hours. Nobody prevents you from putting any Turing complete language beyond what it was originally done for. Python is by design not a language for number crunching. There exist

This is really beautiful. Maybe it should even show more of Konsole's exciting features (all the small gems that make it the most powerful virtual terminal for the "Linux desktop"). Thanks to all people who put their time in

These kind of benchmarks and comparisons are pointless. If you want to solve the n-body problem or the Mandelbrot set, you'll never (solely!) choose languages as Node.js or Python 3 for doing so. You will choose something out of {C++,O

Wow, when I read "help me with a proposal" I thought it was about wording and texting. Not money. Why the heck does a proposal cost money? My wedding did not cost a single cent. It was only the two of us, and it was really nice. T

What terrifies me about cyberwar is that it happens silently between three-letter-agencies. We may have a world war III threat or may be "right within WW3" without knowing it. One can only speculate that this is the answer of Russ

You nail it: I find "Instagram" as an application interesting, because it can be approached really easy (file upload and viewer). That even you don't find it interesting anymore supports my point that it should be the kids wh

Unfortunately there is still need for libraries like underscore.js, which also covers some jQuery functions (which are not DOM-related).

I find this is a fair point. No need to do another rant about Apple. The one thing to consider (I am sure you do) is just what kind of non-Apple-hardware you could get for the same amount of money you are willing to spend. The difference is

Teens/Childs quickly loose interest in something. Find out what they find "hip" or cool, don't expect it to be what you find cool. I would rather support them to program their own Instagram app then to propose them to so

One thing you should remember is that graphs are relational structures. The fancy thing of neo4j is not that it stores graphs (any relational DB can store graphs) but it stores JSON-(like)-Documents and it excels at algorithms for huge grap
