This family has apparently been doing a lot of things right from a business and operations management perspective. But their alloys are not "secret". It's actually never been a secret :) Production of cymbals is one of the le

Actually, I'm more interested in when a GCC with this patch will be marked stable by one of the distros that I use.

> The issue with their ideas was that we weren’t facing a market problem. The customers were buying; they just weren’t buying our product. This was not a time to pivot. A true gem, it's very important to make this distinction.

Well, commit logs could be good complement to developer documentation, if done properly. e.g. "See <some hash range> to see how to add a new protocol to Spyne!" "See <some hash range> to see how a new statement co

There are many open source projects who are basically one-man shows (SQLAlchemy springs to mind -- it recently reached 1.0 after 9 years of intensive hacking) which survive just fine. I agree that having an active community helps, but being

OT, but this is originally a "3D" image. It can be found in the cover art of "10000 Days", an album from American metal band Tool. The original box comes with two magnifying lenses like this: http://s21.photob

God, so sorry to hear that. There's no "Fail :(" here, please don't think like that. You're just trying to cope with this stuff. It's the most humane thing to do, and you know what, you need to stay strong for

You must not forget that thanks to the preprocessor, what looks like 2000 lines may in fact be around 200k lines E.g. I have a very innocent 2000-line MainWindow.cpp that weighs 244419 lines when measured with gcc -E -o - | wc -l

I've been wondering: When you either have nagios or icinga, do you need any other monitoring solution? I remember the FIFA live stream guys from a previous article built their custom monitoring solution (named Sauron). Should they have

From where I'm standing, C++ package management is already quite nicely solved by what we call package managers in the linux world. You know, portage, aptitude, etc.

My opinion based purely on anectodal evidence says the essential reason why bikes are highly preferred by the people of Amsterdam is that it is mostly a flat city. Compare this to Istanbul, where even seemingly trivial journeys have 100m cl

Also check ntop out -- it has similar traffic reports, but no such fancy multibox support last time I looked. That's more a job for SNMP clients anyway. Actually, just look at Nagios/Icinga :) It's a very mature and well-root

Async has never been about speed. Cooperative multitasking doesn't magically gzip your instruction pipeline or something (actually CM is suboptimal). It's just the only tool for those of us who want to avoid giving the keys to arg

Nim's got a long way to go with its thread-local non-shareable heap if it's aiming to replace C++. (I don't think it actually does.)

You can use Spyne[1]'s HttpRpc and JsonDocument protocols via Flask-Spyne[2]. You can actually use Spyne with Django as well[3] (and Spyne has a "general model serializer" that can be used with a lot less boilerplate than wha

Which makes me wonder about the influence on the performance per watt ratio of such GPU-based solutions. To my knowledge, beefy cards are pretty power-hungry.
