No, I wouldn't suggest such a thing for the project that is the subject of this story. But in the theoretical sense or if an upstart were to take a "start-from-scratch" approach starting today or maybe some time from now; tha

I'm just curious and,yes, it's a bit off-topic AND forgetting the relevant dates, etc. that are at play here: isn't developing an SSL/TLS library the sort of thing that Rust should excel at? I see all those lines of C c

So can science explain how a photon traverses the slits in the famous two slit experiment? So far, it has provided any number of ideas about that, but it's not been able to settle the question: and some believe it's beyond the re

Unless, in fact, they can. Of course, any career progression requires more than just one trick in your bag. Being able to communicate well, moving from coding into managing, moving from coding to freelancing, getting domain knowledge rele

Capitalism requires no further justification than individuals acting to dispose of their time and property in ways that they see fit. I absolutely guarantee you that when I trade my labor and expertise with an employer or client for cash,

Adam Smith was wrong with the regard to the moral case for capitalism. He rightfully recognized why people acted, but he failed to recognize any substantive moral basis is such self interested actions; instead he resorted to the precise pr

A failure of capitalism? I have to question the premise. Capitalism does not have as a goal some social-utilitarian purpose. Capitalism is practiced by individuals for their own self-interest. Sometimes they work together for a shared s

There's a contextual cue that's missing between the two, but a strong hint is in the, "Growth that can never translate into long-term positive cash flow...", statement. That context is growth for what duration and what

I'm guessing this was not written by a native English speaker, so a bit hard to understand in some key ways. Not really being a crypto guy myself, that's just enough to make this hard to follow. Just to confirm that I'm gett

Yep. Using Chrome. I don't see the high CPU or the audio issues aside from respecting the settings though. Maybe I should give the other browsers a try! Thx!

I see your comment is raising some controversy, but I tend to be in your camp on this one. I do a significant amount of development involving PostgreSQL and I don't think I would want to rely on this. I don't want to belittle th

On particularly wide screens it's three columns! With the scrolling and such I think your point should be well taken.

On Windows 10, still fails to respect both Hangout's own sound settings for speaker/mic as well as the Windows configured default communication device. So while I like this interface better, any number of other services I use (e.

I'm seeing huge amounts of commentary about going to college or not. Here's my take and experience for what it's worth, as well as a general response to some of the comments I'm seeing. 1) There is no one size fits all

Yes, this is exactly why I think a guide examining such a topic would be good. You get a doc page for it (see icebraining's comment), but that's about it. Performance gets covered often, thinking about how to get the most of Pos

Exactly this. Just because you call yourself a programmer/engineer/etc or have held jobs as such doesn't mean that you're competitively skilled or able to perform well in all jobs with the same title. I go into many sh

Another thing to consider that I don't see covered often is the object relational nature of PostgreSQL. So often I will see PostgreSQL being used like any other RDBMS when there are some very powerful development and querying tools in

Absolutely could not agree more. The thing that even clearly named schemas, tables, columns, etc. miss are context and intent. If you have that context already you probably don't need much by way of documentation. But as someone tha
