Has Linus any opinion on flatpak, snap or appimage?

Agree, but it would be nice to have access to the entire composer community without setting up a composer environment, so not to toot my own horn, but I wrote proof of concept script to download PHP composer dependencies by parsing comments

I think the strongest argument for or against an ORM is that it changes the structure of your code, how you reason about your data. Things like performance, ease of use, reusability, schema generation etc are minor points and not the big is

Yes, me too. System76 has done great work with Pop!_OS and pushing Linux as a true laptop OS, however their default theme and wallpaper always make me nauseous, something I feel a color blind would put together. Beautiful is not something I

True, but the brand of Firefox has definitely died off. I remember the old days when even tech illiterate people knew about Firefox and wanted it installed on their computer.

If your are going for a Chromium based browser I think that Microsoft Edge is one of the better ones. You can configure it to be somewhat minimal and does not force login you to some service like Chrome. Edge can also switch between profile

That is an assumption that our means of production stays the same, but with technology it increases. In a more and more high skilled society, increasing population can have the opposite effect, do everyone have the skills and knowledge to o

Reframing on what I already said. I include older generations in "we".

Yes, the current ideology of constantly increasing populations is not long term sustainable, not economically, nor climate wise or social. You can describe it as a form of a Ponzi scheme, the idea is that we must increase populations so we

Wasn't one problem that Sublime Text's plugin API was somewhat lacking, you couldn't do any advanced GUI in it?

by tored 6y ago
I use Sublime Text as excellent grep/search tool. Superfast, easy to write filters for include or exclude, can quickly open the matching file and you can see it with proper syntax highlighting.

That explains it, I noticed that if my machine was on for a while a degradation in performance happened, it was probably the swapfile then too, especially when it only has 2GB to work with. Yes, I probably need to set my swapfile to 16GB, I

I'm surprised that the swap implementation (or distros swap configuration) is so bad on Linux. I have a fresh Ubuntu 20.10 desktop installation and a few times it has come to slow crawl where you can't do anything, can't esca

More confusing one is that flatpaks can't access mount points inside your home directory even with the correct flatpak permissions set. Assume that you are running Steam as a flatpak and you want to add an extra drive to store your Ste

Gnome Software is pretty much unusable for installing software. I use it to find software and read reviews, but never install. I always use the terminal for that. 1. Gnome Software does not tell what the package name is for deb, flatpaks, s

Probably because many websites today are written as SPAs. Many of these modern frameworks are also pushed as to be used for websites.

jQuery is "bad" when complexity increases. jQuery's strength is the CSS selector based approach, where CSS, HTML and JS all "speak the same language", but it also its greatest weakness, your JS code gets too tightly

There are of course many different reasons to "we just cant build cool shit anymore", but one is not understanding tradeoffs. I think it is more likely for everyone involved, team, management, project, product, client, end user et

It is true that PHP has a bad reputation and that effectively limits number of potential skilled developers. Number of available developers is still high but it could be even higher if it had the same successful propaganda as JavaScript or

Honest question, what do you expect OO to solve for you? Things like - Maintainability - Extendibility - Testability - Reusability etc One problem with OO is that you can organize your code in many different OO styles and somew
