> when exceptions would add no overhead Isn't the overhead for C++ exceptions quite significant, especially if an exception is thrown? Exception handling can also increase the size…

I mean, it's outperforming C as well in that particular benchmark. Lies, damn lies, and benchmarks? I can at least say, the performance difference between C, C++, and Rust, is spli…

Sorry I missed this. We still aren't using hardware accelerated encoding. It's the last, and biggest contributor to CPU we see after profiling. Moving to Rust was more of a decisio…

We're good friends with the Jitsi guys, and I have worked with Jitsi for many years now. Here is a interview I did of Emil Ivov, the founder of the Jitsi project: https://www.youtu…

Jason Thomas, former CoScreen CTO here. I am an avid Synergy user, and what they have accomplished in terms of direct mouse/keyboard input synchronization is very impressive, and I…

For a full blown Linux client, we haven't yet set that date. We are working on a headless Linux client that will allow you to stream first pty/terminals, and then windows, into a C…

We are using WebRTC for both Audio/Video and screen sharing. The Audio/Video are using VP9 SVC, and are a pretty typical configuration, using Jitsi as the backend. The screen shari…

I always look for practical application. I think cutting through the hype-train is something every engineer learns with time, but some times there are diamonds to be picked out. At…

There was a time when memory was conventionally expensive, memory allocation of large blocks was slow, and small blocks was much faster (malloc would find a small block faster than…

The reality hammer hits quite a bit harder when people are playing the "fake it until you make it" game with C++ versus other languages as well.

I started as an embedded software engineer in the early 90's, and at the time there were lots of well paying jobs compared to other software engineering diciplines. In the 2ks/10's…

I'm really surprised at how stable and widely supported Rust's FFI is. I have several C++ projects that integrate a portion written in Rust, where the Rust project produces a .a fi…

Now is the time to hone your skills in a highly in-demand area, with little competition. Get Linux on your computer, study the Linux kernel, and learn about EBPF. Write some monito…

So many creational design patterns rely on static factory methods too. I'm not really sure what they're on about.

I imagine part of the strategy should be to use the funds from the tax to counter the negative effects of the product. This was an effective strategy for smoking. Stopping ads for …

AFAIK Pharo is a fork of Squeak, which is much more open about it being a smalltalk programming system implementation. https://squeak.org/

The dish soap method worked best for me. But the best method was getting lasik, now my old glasses are in a drawer gathering dust.

This is so beautiful. Super cool not having manual thread joining code.

I would guess just having a lot of blockchain experts on staff, and since the blockchain is pretty much an open, unencrypted, public ledger; analyzing it is a pretty natural and no…

I'm similar in that I've jumped between embedded, web dev, etc etc.. through my career, and it was always easy to learn new things. I think it was actually the newness of the thing…

I downloaded Solar Winds from a BBS when I was a kid, and I have played it several times again throughout the years. I get strong nostalgic feelings from playing it. Solar Winds Ga…

I worked on some data acquisition software that was in a beam-line (SLAC), but we just made sure to surround everything with lead bricks. I've never sent any hardware into space, b…

So, it was a long time ago, and I did use a JTAG emulator/debugger called the "Partner JET:" https://www.kmckk.co.jp/eng/gigatrace_index.html It was extremely expensive, and commer…
