"Once i've got the base of the system solid and working I will then implement proper security measures on-top of that." I understand your sentiment, but it's wrong. You need to take into account your userbase, potential

This looks like a terrible waste of vertical space. Not to condone everyone living in apt buildings, but even just a second or third story seems untennable with just this tech. So you probably can't build a real home worth living in wi

...yeah I have to agree... xml is a bit trash, STL works and I don't see how the file format itself can preclude invalid structures, and as others have pointed out the whole text versus binary means a massive slowdown and inefficiency.

What about Dns, smtp, http, https, ftp, ssh, sftp, etc.? Pretty sure those are not drains on everybody's nerves. Devs bashing standards cause they don't want to follow the rules which make things work well is a drain on everyone&#

This is a good data point, and it does point to wanting to limit liability, at your rate you could process 5000 pages a month, bringing the time down to 7 years instead of 72... Throw 6 people at it, throw in review processes, maybe you cou

Hmm I'm not sure most people mean html files when they say 'web server' - I used to run a mail server, a couple websites, a blog, a couple wikis, with auth integration, and a couple custom web apps with live two-way messaging

It's not really true, but essentially it is. It used to be a web server was something you could almost auto deploy. Then it became a series of increasingly complex steps as various 'security' measures were employed. You can d

It's the fact this could even have a different meaning that makes this a useless metric - defining 'quality' or 'coverage' is subjective. The majority of tests written are meaningless noise, and serve mainly to dist

"I don't think there is no prospect of coal consumption going down." I mean already only 40% of millenials (according to a recent report) have the prospect to own homes, let alone financial security, or having kids. None of t

It's probably exactly that runtime...desk devs have forgot that embedded is tiny, megs not gigs of memory, so not one but 2-3 orders of magnitude smaller. You can have all the 'simple' calls you like but if you need to malloc

This comment is a part of why TV sucks so hard - ridiculous users. Everyone's idea of 'simple' is rather asinine, unimaginative. The latest Pis come practically preinstalled with everything, just have to load Kodi. But someon

"Because Linux distributions (not to mention containers) are increasingly removing common shell utilities like bc" Hmm that sounds fair, but if you can't do something simple like get bc why would you expect to be able to get

Hmm. Cool? I guess I don't expect my shell to do much, I reach for numpy or something when I want fancier math. Not to knock, but what's the use case? I think I prefer bc - "10/(200.7-73.6)" is easy to look at, I do

I have to agree with the other bloke, this is very much a problem in certain 'magical' JSON 'serializers' in certain very popular server languages, e.g. Java, Spring, FasterXML. I've seen JSON ser done right where y

While I think we all recognize that the approach, to handle data and not live objects, is different, you seem to have missed the core objections, which are that REST is and was widely misunderstood and FIOH might as well be the true protoco

So, looking at Wikipedia and comparing with his circuit PDF and what he said, it sounds like there wasn't thought given to current stability. Apparently these bulbs are very sensitive to too much current, so it sounds as if he was lite

I agree - design by committee is probably the culprit. Generally, when one (or a couple) experienced designers get their hands on a UI, it turns out alright. Its the 'mish-mash' effect where multiple people try to control the look
