I have used Angular since version 5.

I have never had any major issues or problems with it.

Think of it this way: GraphQL, Docker, and Kubernetes solve problems that very, very, very few GIANT tech companies have, but not every app will scale to millions of users.

Never bothered to learn GraphQL - anything being pushed by big tech companies usually in 80% of the cases works for them, but its an overkill for smaller scale projects.

Stick to tried and true - monolith, asp.net, angular or blazor front-end, relational database.

TreeSizeView also works perfectly.

And the site is up.

I 100% agree with the article.

Hetzner is the way to go.

Nodejs is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. [0]

Which version of C++ ?

Love the comment.

Nope, its what I do.

Same with kubernets/microservices/insert-buzz-word - if I see a lot of evangelists praising it - then I know for sure to stay away. :)

Yes, I am aware that .NET is popular, but there are always exceptions.

I never, ever bothered to learn React.

Stuck with .NET/C#.

If I have to write web UI, I use Angular, Blazor, and Razor MVC.

React never made any sense to me, and the more I saw people using it, the more it reconfirmed my belief that it was a no-go.

Usually, people win if they do the opposite of what the mass is doing :)

Similar experience.

Around '96-97 I was playing with writing fire effects in Turbo Pascal, most of the tutorials used the asm with mode 13h, and all I had was Turbo Pascal 5.5, which didn't support the asm keyword. So, I dabbled a bit with it, and then in late 97, I found about C, and when I saw the for loop in C - I never touched Pascal again.

In my family - we have two cars - all Alfa Romeos.

Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2018 / 2.0 petrol / 280 bhp Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio 2021 / 2.9 V6 / 510 bhp

We have ZERO incentives to change these cars with electrics; why would I change my convenience to put gas in the established gas network with the dubious charging station availability (Eastern Europe)?

I drove a Hyundai Kona electric last year; well, when you drive it at 150-180 km/h - the battery dies quite fast :)

I am not convinced AT ALL in electric cars. Maybe in 20-30 years ...

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBINGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Yes, at the end of the day, businesses use software in LOB apps.

Period.

Get shit done.

WebForms/ASP.NET MVC/.NET Core MVC/Blazor will outlive ANY js framework.

The startup sound of Encarta Virtual Globe 98[0] brings me such fond memories :)

EU/UK slowly going back to the Dark Ages. 'Eletricity is too expensive'.

What is next - I shower once per week to preserve energy :D

There is nothing more serious than gaming.

Yeah, I don't care about power consumption.

There is no 'serious' computers coming out of Apple for quite some time now - just glorified consumption devices :)

Can Apple sillicon run Dota2@200fps or Visual Studio (Not CODE!) 2022+ as good as an x86? Can I put a 7900XTX on a Mac and run Windows natively ?

Yes, when I was buying this PC beginning of the year I was consdering 7900X, 7950X and 7950X3D.

At the end chose the 7950X, super happy about it.

Absolute beast.

A17 can't be clocked at 4.5-5.0 GhZ.

Buy good headphones - Audeze, HiFiMan, Meze :) Btw my cpu is watercooled - very silent, I can barely hear it.

Ryzen 9 7950X, 4.5 GHZ, Single Core GB6 Score @ 2907 https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/2985656

It's alreay on par.

p.s.: I don't care about power consumption :)

Same here. Heroes 3 with HD Mod, but without HotA addiotions.

Tons of fun - usually I start a XXL map with 5 computers, I play Kyrre from Rampart and rush to find first the Dragon Utopia get Town Portal/Dimension door and hunt them down the map.

Carmack said he is using Visual Studio - the full, big, freaking IDE. Not Visual Studio 6.0, but the latest version ( I assume 2022).

So, to repeat Carmack IS NOT using VS Code, but the full Visual Studio on Windows.

Amen.

The TDP of the 5900HX is 45W.

Don't forget we are comparing last-gen AMD vs current gen M2.

M2 on Mac makes 1884/8717, but on Paralles -> 1681/7260.

So, the penalty is 11% on single, 17% on multi because of running on Windows via Paralles.

APPLE M1 average Single Core is 1706, average multi is 7421 on MAC.

If we apply the above penalty becomes -> 1706/7421 -> 1522/6180.

AMD 5900HX average Single Core is 1413, average multi is 7656.

So, AMD - 1413/7656 | Apple M1 - 1522/6180 -> Amd is 8% slower in single, 19% faster in multi.

True.

But still, pointless to me - I don't care about power efficiency, battery life or any synthetic benchmarks.

I have two concerns with a laptop:

1. Can it run the latest Visual Studio at blazing fast speed?

2. Can it run Dota 2 on Full HD @ >144 fps?

So far ... M2 doesn't fulfill fully neither point 1 nor point 2 :)

Noticed that I ran the previously GeekBench on balanced power plan.

Here are the results on Performance Power Plan - https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/16821908

Summarized results - https://i.imgur.com/X5vKtFn.png

Overall, with the new results - AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX is 18% slower in Single Core, 4% faster in Multi Core.

Not that bad ...

And it all boilds down to:

JC JNC JE/JZ JNE/JNZ JO JNO JP/ JPE JNP/ JPO JS JNS JA/ JNBE JAE/ JNB JBE/ JNA JG/ JNLE JGE/ JNL JL/ JNGE JLE/ JNG JCXZ

at the end :)

Yeah, not what I expected.

Here is my result:

Given that I didn't stop anything and was playing Dota 2 while running it ...

Still, I believe at some point once newer iterations of X86-64 drop support for legacy instructions (they still have to support code running on 8080/8086 through 486) - we will have smaller, more efficient X86-64 chips.

Actually, it is darn impressive that the latest Intel/AMD chips keep up with the brand new M1/M2 chips that have zero legacy instructions and the Intel/AMD chips carry 50 years of legacy :)

I am about to run the GeekBench with my main laptop.

I believe - it will OBLITERATE M2.

Strange to see VBA and Objective-C so low on the list.

Worked with both - nothing scary there.

The Fantastic Seven - C#, Python, TypeScript, C++, Go, SQL, F# - covers 99.99% of your programming language needs. :)

Let's not forget the reverse scam:

Music Business Worldwide’s story explains how the moneymaking trick worked. “Soulful Music” had 467 songs by virtually unknown artists — which is to say, artists who may have been created for the purpose of this alleged scheme. The vast majority of songs were about 30 seconds long, which is the minimum length a song needs to be to count as a monetized play on the service.

The most probabl explanation for all this is that someone or someones in Bulgaria set up 1,200 computers with premium Spotify accounts, then had them play the songs on “Soulful Music” constantly. While it would cost $12,000 to set up all those accounts, the payoff would be worth it.

Enough of those half-assed attempts at an "OS".

Either use Windows with WSL2, or Debian, or FreeBSD with some GUI, or MacOS.

Regardless of what OS you use - you will be using a Browser, Terminal, File Manager and VS Code/Rider/Visual Studio, emacs/vim. GASP

Enough of this distro hopping - it is the moder-day procrastination.
