You are putting words in my mouth. I did not say "should not be used". I wrote about my option and what I do. I did not mean this advice applies to everyone in every situation. I think your approach is "default to C++ because

It would really depend on what the project is (3d shooter game vs database server vs high frequency trading). But I think many projects can be broken into two parts: One is a limited number of "computation kernels" (processing pac

For the parts of the codebase where you can use abstractions that have runtime costs, you can also choose a safer language that imposes similar runtime costs. I bet it would be easier to write maintainable code in the safer language than in

If the individual cycles don't matter, you can use a safer language than C++ which compiles faster and provides more static and dynamic guarantees. If you choose C++ for a new project in 2017 it's because you need all the cycles a

ASN.1 is an abomination, nobody would choose to use it if they could use JSON instead. Protobuf, Thrift, Cap’n Proto, Msgpack, XML, etc. have tooling for many languages.

Yeah, I would have gone with BLAKE2. It's much faster than SHA-256 and SHA3-256: https://blake2.net/skylake.png

The ASDS (drone ships) use diesel[1] for stationkeeping but they use tugs[2] to get from the port to the landing site & back. I can't get engine details on the tugs[3], but wikipedia says[4] tugs often have locomotive diesel engine

Objectively, if it's true that women need to perform much better than men to get promoted, then being a woman who struggles with the material in a male dominated field would suck, and maybe you did her a favor. I think the cycle can be

In the same way as zlib does, if you compress independent chunks and provide an index for the beginning of each chunk.

The conclusion is not radical but quite banal. For some data, zstd (and lzma) lose to methods more suitable to that kind of data. For example, for text, use ppmd. Using bzip2 is not a great idea because it's old, you can always beat it

Did your csv files contain stuff that looks like human language text? Use PPMD like so: 7z a -m0=PPMd demo.7z demo.txt This beats bzip2 and zstd for such files.

Unlike evolution, abiogenesis has never been demonstrated in a Petri dish. Same for the Big Bang. In my understanding, some theists believe God "instantiated" a universe with certain parameters which we perceive as physical consta

You described a feature that good engineering practice says should be eliminated. Features have costs (the most significant of which IMO is learning an unfamiliar feature when you read other people's code), thus only features that allo

Why do you prefer a self signed certificate instead of using let's encrypt? You can create a self signed CA and add it to trusted roots to avoid warnings.

Does anyone have a good comparison between MariaDB 10.x and MySQL 8.0? Also, when will MySQL 8.0 be out? (The current version is "Not yet released, Development Milestone").
