PolCPP··on macOS Kernel Extensions are officially deprecated
Yes, if it worked. But unless they fixed it recently the Virtualbox implementation was super buggy/unusable.
PolCPP··on The Wall, a modular microLED display
But the wall is not designed to be a TV but for digital signage. Even that page is inside their business side. I'm not sure while they keep trying to market to consumers. With those prices clearly it doesn't even make sense.

IIRC Sony has Crystal led (which is just a brand for their micro led), and other companies have a sub 1mm pitch led walls which should be pretty similar.

For a more "classical" solution there are LCD's with hairline bezels like Barco Unisee's, but again even those are far from consumer prices.

So what's new about this? It's been in the market for a while at around $20k per tile iirc.

On the other side doesn't Sony, Barco, Christie and a few other signage companies have something similar to it?

PolCPP··on VirtualBox 6.0 released
'MacOS Guest Additions: initial support'

I thought that with a dozen hacks it already worked? What did they add? Official support?

PolCPP··on On the Sad State of Macintosh Hardware
The closest i've seen to that is the Pixelbook but that's not mainstream linux but clearly shows it's doable
PolCPP··on Vue.js vs. React
There's also some early/limited support of vue using nativescript, which is more mature than weex.

PolCPP··on Flutter – A mobile app SDK for iOS and Android
iirc it uses native widgets, the problem was that for some time QT used Carbon and stuff like scrollbars looked outdated until they added cocoa support because Apple stopped updating visually carbon
PolCPP··on Inkscape Version 0.92 is Released
In the case of Blender once you get the hang of it, you'll feel more confortable than with other similar tools that do the same. I would say its kinda like vim.

Also why don't you use Krita?

PolCPP··on New MacBook Pro Is Not a Laptop for Developers Anymore
The onsite reviewer from the verge says its pretty much the same. Maybe a lil more travel but they feel the same.

So i guess that version 2 thing is just pure marketing to avoid people raging

PolCPP··on Mosh: the mobile shell
Stuff like connecting to different port, you need to do --ssh="ssh -p 1111"
PolCPP··on 500 Byte Images: The Haiku Vector Icon Format
But but...my 700 node dependencies! D:
PolCPP··on DDoS protection
Tbh it's been the oposite for me.

Had a few machines on hetzner for years and rarely had issues. The few issues i had with them i got fast replies.

I did try online.net few years ago and had a lot of network issues (it wasn't stable, kinda like when you have a misconfigured vps and your neighbour is eating all the bandwidth at times). Have they improved on that?

PolCPP··on Dropbox prompts password resets
They could update hashes on login if needed. So i guess its something they don't want to talk about
PolCPP··on PHP the Wrong Way
Theres a few things here.

1.- Massive project where you're not using 75% of the framework.

Let's say i don't want the template engine and the ORM, the framework should let me pull them out. If i need them at some point i'll pull them in. But i know that when i do, these things will be maintained and working.

And this is where a good framework shines. No need to deal with a dependency hell, and you should be able to pull out easily what you don't need.

Edit: If you're just using a 25% of a framework and have no prospects on using it maybe you should look for something smaller

2.- Separate parts stuck on a massive project

Thats not the framework fault but yours. You should write the parts of the application in a way that you can reuse them in another project, using the same framework or in a similar framework with as few changes as possible. And also its part of your work knowing a bit on how the framework works under the hood. The same way an android dev not only needs to know how 'generic' java works, but how android's java vm works.

3.- Those microservices may not follow a standard.

While frameworks allow you to write bad code, they kind of force you to follow some standards which reduce bad code and let other developers take on the project easily.

On the other side, a well developed microservice based project is usually better than an equivalent one that was based up on a framework. But it takes more time/work and has more risks (specially in php).

Also, he mentions that company uses framework, won't scale and start ripping it apart to take unnecesary parts. You don't do that for a 50 line script
