Weird approach by Huawei. If you want a program to stay up and running, you write a windows service; autostart with restart for recovery in case of crash. The service process can set its own DAC so that only SYSTEM can open its handle, henc

I could do that in C# as well if I felt I needed it. Define classes representing the "syntax/AST", utility functions to build the AST and an interpreter that compiles the AST to an expression tree which in turn is an executab

At times too much magic, like queries mysteriously failing because you have a dangling "navigational property" without a database column. That one was a hell to debug. At other times, too little control over how the query is trans

So, genuine question: why would one use a 3rd-party VPN client in windows when Windows 10 comes with a built-in client supporting PPTP, L2TP/IPsec and IKEv2? What is better about OpenVPN or Wrieguard?

I'm amazed at the amount of worshipping (in the comments) of luddites when it comes to debuggers. Citing Linus, Log4J developers ("use logging instead"), Kernighan and Pike... especially the latter two had learned programming

Unrelated, but: > Negative freedom is freedom from constraint, that is, permission to do things; Positive freedom is empowerment, that is, ability to do things... Cited Angus Sibley, but the idea originates, I believe, from Erich Fromm.

I'm one of those people. As for why: modern, heavily-templated C++ doesn't mesh well with dynamic linking, i.e., plugin architecture. I can send even a pointer to `std::function` over ABI boundary (COM, in-process server) as int64

I'm not disputing that articles are sometimes useful, indeed sometimes you need "the" or "that" for disambiguation. But in most cases it's [a?] noise that I can't make sense of as in your previous example.
