Maybe it will even trigger that we software developers get more time to optimize our RAM usage while developing instead of implementing that new user tracking feature that is being pushed by the business...

I worked for a company that also used AWS. It was a cloud-first company so we needed to use AWS stuff even if there was a more portable variant available. We needed to run this Localstack to get stuff done. I really did not like using localstack.

If you go around your OS yes that could be the case but you can already have issues using the application from machine to machine with the same OS having different amounts of RAM and different CPU's. But I am not an expert in these matters.

You can clearly see that it is made with AI. Any respectable film producer would not use a Tesla in movie since Trump became president. :D

New comment by ivolimmen in "D Programming Language"

ivolimmen — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 11:57:14 +0000

I tried some D some time ago, it is a nice language. Given today's landscape of programming languages I think it's difficult to reason why a program should be written in D if there are more programming languages that overlap in features. Also depends on how fast you need to scale in developers, how quickly people can learn a language (and not just the syntax) so popularity is also important. I work in consultancy and this is what I always factor in for a client.

I think most of us don't care about the opinion of any Israël politician as they are doing Nazi things (genocide).

The one featuring Tim Allen? Or is there an actual channel with home improvements in the USA?

In the Netherlands we return 30% of your taxes in the first 10. So we welcome you as well. We may pay less compared to the USA but we have health care, better work life balance and we all talk English.

Exactly what https://www.amazingcto.com/postgres-for-everything/ says; keep it simpel and use PostgreSQL.

It seems I know more about American history than I thought. Cool puzzle.

I loved Blacklight Retribution. It's been so long delisted that my most unique achievements from it disappeared from my profile. One was 0.01% of all players.

ivolimmen — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 07:45:02 +0000

Well HDMI is better than all the standards I used before it. Never did something with DisplayPort but for what I can tell it's Apple related (right?). I used DVI-I, DVI-D, VGA, and even old stuff in the past.

I skipped this phase I still own a portable CD-player. I think I even own 2, me and my wife had one when we where young. They both still work.

Would love to work on a project with this as a rule but I am working on a project that was build before me with 1.2 million lines of code, 15 years old, really old frameworks; I don't think we could add features if we did this.

New comment by ivolimmen in "PHP 8.5"

ivolimmen — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 11:08:06 +0000

Most likely this can be said about a lot of languages, most languages are being maintained and improved. I am an hired expert in Java and I needed to explain some new languages features to some colleagues that have been introduced recently, I only mention them if they actually improve readability though. I think PHP might be slightly different than other languages as a huge amount of people use this to create their first website as a hobby.

ivolimmen — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 17:16:21 +0000

Kubernetes is sometimes just overkill to deploy a simple application and just zip, unpack and start a script is sometimes too fragile and crappy. This is something I would like to try on my Pine64 when I run some simple utility (online) software.

Humm I agree with the statement but why does the website need to look like it is from early the 90's?

Even with people that are not famous it can be difficult. My wife knows three people with the same name. So when I ask with whom are you going out she needs to add the city to make me understand.
