You're right. But I assume the benchmark basically implements a ping-pong game instead of DoSing the server to see how many requests actually survive (I could be wrong).

Well, to start with you can actually compute the optimal number of packets per second, if you know the bit rate and the packet size. https://packet.company/ethernet-statistics So the theoretical optimum is 14.88 Mpps (milli

C++ being a standard, you don't need to rebuild the world to develop your compiler. That being said, there is nothing preventing something similar with C++. In fact, that's pretty much what Linux distributions and BSDs do when upg

In fact it's standard practice in the financial industry to deploy everything on the week-end, and indeed starting from Friday night, because that's when most markets are closed. Obviously don't do that if you don't have

There is a good business opportunity to introduce practices like continuous integration (and perhaps version control), and reproducible runs, to a crowd that needs it but might not necessarily have the skills or resources to set it up.

Apple has announced they would deprecate scripting languages like Python, Perl or Ruby from the desktop edition of iOS. So there is no point in including the "new" version of Python (3). They're keeping Python 2 for compatibi

Good point. Linus also learned programming with BASIC. So that's really the thing in common between Steve, Bill and Linus.

>You take the spec You have to pay license fees :) but yeah that's the idea. SPARC and MIPS are a bit more open actually.

Oh, I see. I thought you wanted to recreate the whole thing on Windows, but it looks like you just stream the iPad screen onto the desktop. In which case you can indeed probably just use Win32 and DirectX.

I'm curious what they use for the GUI. C++ with Qt might have been a safer choice. Like most Rust advocacy articles, it says it rejects "C/C++" because of the flaws of C.

Considering it's mentioned alongside Python and Boost, it's most likely as a userland process too.

Aside from the already mentioned supply/demand aspect, people working on things like that tend to do so for an entire career, so might be willing to accept a lower salary in exchange for stability. The React developer will have to retr

Fascist is maybe not a good term, because fascism is actually quite specific and to some extent euro-centric (plus, nowadays it just means "bad people" without people necessarily understanding what fascism actually is). But China

So the solution is to persist while making a mistake? >We invaded Iraq. >We let chaos reign there >we made it worse ... so "we must stay"? Pardon me but this makes absolutely no sense.

Is it really related though? It's hard to imagine the US get into a conflict with Turkey, a member of NATO, to protect the Kurds, whose PKK is recognized as a terrorist organization by the US state department. The whole thing makes no

I don't think I'm making an extraordinary statement. If you look in their bug tracker, there are 500+ tickets with the term "freeze" in it. The reason is actually known: being a Java IDE, the design takes for granted tha

spdlog is well regarded (I use it and I like it). It's configurable enough that should be able to use it in an embedded environment; you can control the flush policy and use it in either sync or async mode. You can use method calls or

It's also probably one of the oldest open source repositories. OpenBSD pretty much pioneered the concept of making their VCS open to the public over the Internet (hence the name).

I would be surprised if they had code bases that large. https://www.f35.com/about/life-cycle/software F-35 has 8 million LOCs. An equivalent C++ project would be Qt (~ 8 million LOCs and > 100k commits).

It's slow and freezes even on tiny projects. They're aware of the issue and apparently the next release will be focused entirely on trying to address those. At the moment that's my number one issue with CLion.

If you can't play your old games it makes the entire platform unattractive to players, which in turns makes it unattractive to game developers. But tbh Mac was hardly a gaming platform to begin with.

It's not the job of Apple, the NBA or the Coca Cola Company to conduct foreign policy. It's a political issue. As far as I can tell, the sitting US President has, at least, identified the issue.
