I made the move in the same direction some years ago and, yes, there are always problems, but IME a missing or broken driver is common with a fresh install of Linux OR Windows. I've often had to download a network driver (both WiFi and

The code is very easy to read, so I think this would be great for those who want to learn how one might go about implementing a C compiler.

Not sure what he's saying. That the OpenSSL group are going to send the LibreSSL group vulnerabilities? That the LibreSSL group are about to disclose OpenSSL vulnerabilities? Just a bit confused! Okay, a later story just appeared, I qu

Nice that there's a github export, but it doesn't do things like the HTML page used to describe the project or the downloads. I have 15 repositories owned by myself. It's going to be painful getting them all over to github in

Yes the article seems to be based on screenshots which are deemed to be too 'busy' or have too many gradients, rather than on actual usability.

It's true that some languages, by their very nature, make exploits like buffer overflows impossible, but if a browser was to be built with entirely new code for this reason, I'd be much happier to see it built on a VM such as a JV

I find this more readable. In fact, the code here looks more like this: .FilterByEvensOnly() .FilterByMinimum() .FilterByMaximum() Obviously the example is trivialised and the real filters are more complex, requiring joins,

Initially I thought it seemed unreal, with the way it was written, then I thought perhaps it was satire, but couldn't work out what was funny about it. "Bask in our engineer’s prideful feeling that every single line now being adde

Here's an example in C#. Imagine you're querying a database of products (here represented by integers). Users can enter filter parameters - you want to build your query dynamically based upon what they enter. With LINQ, you can do

I used to work as a UNIX admin, so having a home OpenBSD box to handle mail seemed like a requirement. I ran qmail and djbdns, under daemontools, because there was nothing else as secure, nothing else 'properly' designed (I agreed

This is somewhat relevant, yes, but I don't think anyone here is/was laughing. We can see the oncoming juggernaut, but there's little we can do about it.

Yes, what's float.Epsilon? Shame it seems you can only contribute via raising an issue. Would like to make edits wiki-style.

The reporter may be a troll, but the response was childish. I haven't used Redis, but this puts me off going near it.

In the UK, mobile operators introduced 'SIM only' contracts a few years ago, where you got a rolling monthly contract (you weren't tied in for more than a month at a time), effectively giving you the flexibility of 'Pay

I'm finding I work well with TortoiseHG. I've tried SourceTree but haven't seen any advantage to it. Is there something special which might make it worth learning?
