I guess there are two different kinds of bindings. 1) Scripting language is still the driver of the application, it uses "bindings" against a GUI library to implement the application. This is the one I'm most interested in. A

Personally I prefer building GUIs in a scripting language like JavaScript over a compiled language like C and C++, GUIs changes a lot and needs to be tweaked in another way than system code does, so it is understandable to pick Electron, ev

10 years ago we are at PHP 5.2 days. PHP has evolved a lot since then, back then it was cumbersome, but things started to change with PHP 5.6 release and then with the entire PHP 7.x releases (skipped PHP 6) a new standard was set of langua

KDE is the one desktop environment I haven't experimented with enough to give a fair judgement. I need to put that next on my list. Updates on Windows is usually more annoying on Windows than on Linux because of the forced updates with

My experience is opposite, Linux desktop is garbage compared to Windows desktop, and I’m not talking about features or looks or anything like that, but core requirements like response time, handling of rouge processes (that can freeze your

Yes, some sort of containerization could solve all this. Drawback is size on disk, however with today’s disks like m2 I don’t think it should be a major problem.

The thing is that backwards compatibility is already developed, it called Windows and already paid for. That is the problem with all these ideas of rebuilding, it cost lots of money for ending up in at same place you already are.

What would adopting a Linux kernel solve? Nothing. Problem here is not the NT Kernel, the problem is user space. So building everything on top of the Linux kernel would end up in the exact same position as before because the need of backwar

As you said it is circumstantial, it could be that that there were more exchanges of (truly) sensitive information between Manafort and Kilimnik (they used encrypted communication) and that Kilimnik does in fact have GRU access (or is GRU h

Please point me to when I said there was no proof for Manafort giving Kilimnik polling data. (I didn't, what I was skeptic about was that Manafort gave Russian Intelligence sensitive campaign data and that there was connection from the

What do you think the punishment should be for giving mostly outdated, partially public and top line polling data (Trump 50% vs Clinton 48%) to Russians (as in citizens)?

by tored 5y ago
What type of information was shared from the Trump campaign? Polling data and strategy to beat Hillary Clinton. Gates has testified that the polling data was non-sensitive and also dated. I think the only real significant claim the Senate r

Thanks. Manafort seems to be a dirty player and I wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in some shady businesses with people you shouldn't associate with, however that report is based on one line taken from a press release from

Can you provide a source on that claim of polling data to Russian intelligence?

Soviet republics are gone, they are independent from the Soviet empire. Warsaw Pact does not exist, most of the old membership countries are part of EU now. All that military power is mostly gone. Soviet was expansionist to spread communism

Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is not the same entity as the Russian Federation, two totally different political entities with not that much in common (except maybe KGB/FSB). Usually socialist in the west, that supported the USS

Not officially to my knowledge, so it is not exactly the same, but he was briefed by the "intelligence community" about it and that was used to smear his campaign.

Yes, remember that presidential candidate Bernie Sanders also got smeared with Russian interference, so it is not something only used on Trump or Trump supporters. In my country, Sweden, alleging connections to Russia or Putin is often use

Nice to see that you agree with me that the web does not consist of proper types and you as a programmer must make that choice. You have your custom library that makes this happen and that is something you and your team has implemented.

Web consists of strings, not types. Somewhere in your pipeline you have string-to-type, if you don't do that correctly you will either have data loss, injection or xss, true for every language. It is true that some languages makes it e
