Learned about these from Rust In Action book. Seems like programmers keep rediscovering stuff now and then.

I find rust and scala quite similar on learning curves. You have to reach a certain level before you can work with the language and library ecosystem. The benefits proposed by proponents of both languages are there but after the mean of the

Microsoft is huge, with a lot of technical/organizational legacy. Think of it like a Linux distro, cloud, gaming, ERP and what not all rolled under one brand. So communications cannot always happen 1-to-1 like a clique in a graph. Even

Its surprising how often I was already visiting a clique of sub-reddits. Even more surprising how much I was missing out on similar sub-reddits. This visualization is really a discovery tool I needed.

These freedoms definitely make sense to me. If they were not present we would be living in a very different world where large corporations would keep us in walled gardens and no possible alternative. We would have software available for stu

I have been using nushell on Windows for a long time. It has a feel similar to Linux shell and yet it runs natively on Windows. This release is definitely a huge bump and really appreciate how shiny it is.

Other than Python what are great Qt bindings available. I wish I could code for Qt in Zig or rust.

Starting with plain HTML, CSS and Javascript makes sense as it helps to know underlying concepts. But its a big leap from writing basic pages to writing React. Suddenly you have to know npx, packaging, transpiling and what not. Nothing in t

Its not as yet feature complete but has come a long way from its earlier beginnings. I have been using it on Windows and being native and close to UNIX shells really helps my workflow. The inbuilt commands and structured philosophy is a gr

I used to think it would be a holy mess of symlinks. Spinned up live image in a VM and pleasantly surprised. For compatibility there are traditional /bin but its a symlink to /System/Index/bin, which contains links to ac

I am using Retina display on which everything looks tiny. I struggled with setting up QT scaling, GTK3.0 scaling, icon sizes, font DPI and resolutions. The problem is there is no single setting which all UI libraries follow and this makes y

So this means more web developers are going to move towards Chromium as base development.

So what is the state of GCC here. Would they open up internals so people can use them? I wish they stop playing the political stand here since LLVM is being adopted more and more.

People are surprised when I recommend openSUSE. I personally use its rolling version Tumbleweed. - Its stable while being very latest of packages. So I am done with distro upgrades which might break something between version changes. - It h

If in some way I can run transpile / natively run Java bytecode in a browser over DOM, it would be wonderful! A statically typed and no-nonsense language for my browser and HTML5 apps. Just tired of Javascript and its workarounds.

Agreed, Linus is a man with great knowledge of kernel, but he may be wrong at times, just like RMS ( ;-) ) I can see why anti-corporate licenses are big win for users. PS4 and Macs use BSD kernel. The whole PS4 is locked up and it totally b

Also, Linux kernel uses git! So it has a traction. Once people get used to a tool they stick to it.

I think after a legal counsel it was impossible for Oracle not to move to courts. Else others would create spin-off's from Java and cite Android as an example.

by xolve 11y ago
I am biased towards Oracle because I do want Android to be closer to orginal Java and wish both companies collaborate for future Java versions. However I do agree that Google's PR has tried to picture Google as victim. If we see Googl
