I think it's more accurate to compare Node to C++, compare NPM to apt/yum/etc+CMake, and compare something like Electron to Qt. Of course, your point still stands. But's a tradeoff. C++/Qt has a ton of compile-time

"Anonymous" is the right word, imo. "Pseudonymity" implies having a nickname (a pseudonym), which is not required to participate.

It also acts as a repository in the way no IRC server ever did. The closest that irc came was irc bouncers that maintained persistence and logging. Yep. Some people at work are super resistant to using slack and prefer IRC, even though sl

IANAL, but from reading for a little bit, it seems to vary and states have their own laws. There's some discussion on Wikipedia here[2] of unauthorized piggybacking (which does not even require hacking the network), with a few examples

It was my understanding that the "secret key" never goes over the network. The secret key is generated locally, never sent over the network, and vaults are encrypted/decrypted locally.

Typical setups that I've seen break the app up into (micro)services. Each service specializes in one type of "work". You may have API nodes that receive/validate incoming HTTP requests and some worker nodes that do more

CMake is not a package manager or package repository, though. CMake can discover libraries and it can build your code, but that assumes you've already fetched a dependency somehow. Sure, you can use system package managers, but these a

You're being downvoted but there is some truth to this. For example, I inherited a relatively poorly performing service with a per-user limit set to 60 req/min. As the service operator, I have the choice of setting either a rate l

IMO, if you're an API company, and you can't handle bursts of traffic from your customers, you should work on improving your backend and stop wasting time messing around with implementing patterns like this. It's a lose-lose

I recently checked the sugar content in some Prego pasta sauce. It was something like 50+ grams of sugar in a smaller size jar (depending on the variety of the sauce). When I did the math, the sauce was contributing 25-30 grams of sugar per

Biggest lesson for us: Avoid putting all your logic into Jenkins templates. You're not capturing your CI/deployment logic in version control, and this can cause problems down the road (we backed up Jenkins regularly, but versioni

The idea of one botnet taking over another, by stealing infected devices, is interesting. What if "policing" botnets were deployed as a counter measure? Devices would be infected by the same methods used by malicious botnets, but
