I don't see your point. Adding custom build steps is a basic feature that's supported by pretty much every single popular build system for decades now, just like adding your own de…

IMHO returning status 400 is only reasonable if the request itself is malformed. A request to check whether a CC is valid does not become malformed depending on whether the CC is v…

The decision to go with a headers-only design is only required if you want/need to provide templates. Furthermore, it's ignorant to conflate headers-only libraries with a problem o…

> Taking advantage of so many extra cores by a single process is not all that easy or common. Browsers are both multiprocess and multithreaded. The ability to run a few webapps wit…

Smart pointers are strangely absent from this comment, which is rather weird as handling raw pointers ceased to make sense and became a pungent code smell with the inception of C++…

Comparatively, service-per-vm approaches are very wasteful and ineficcient, moreso if a container orchestration system is used to manage the deployment. It makes no sense to fine-t…

From your blog post: > "The benchmarks are not 100% fair" I doubt anyone has time to rummage through 18 months of blog posts to look for data on a blog, specially as you're not wil…

The key fact that you're ignoring is that, as you implicitly acknowledge, "in some cases" it says absolutely nothing about efficiency or safety. Software isn't magic. Your software…

If you have tangible results then present your benchmarks. If you limit your marketing to empty claims regarding "the future" and vague assertions on performance then you're actual…

Why are you hoping that the proverbial pendulum swings away fron Hadoop?

But claiming that "X software is written in Y language/framework" says nothing about efficiency or safety. It's just meaningless marketting piggy-backing on popular buzzwords. And …

Some universities require their researchers to publish and follow reference journals, the majority of which has been managed/hijacked by for-profit editors. As researchers are forc…

An assurance from a random guy on an internet forum is hardly assurance.
