Yes, you can. There is even a theory which is somehow related to it: The Lindy Effect ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect ).…

There are mature solutions for building C/C++ programs which check for dependencies and provide a high quality configuration setup. Think of GNU Autotools. It is often blamed to be too complex, b…

I do not know much about kernels and OS architecture. But I am wondering how this relates to the idea of GNU Hurd. Wasn't its concept also about microkernel-based design?

A practical ML implementation which runs fine on standard computers can be found here: https://github.com/modern-fortran/neural-fortran …

There are so many alternatives, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20410848 Any information about which language is leading the field?…

That is why I like this site. I gives tech a human touch.

While I agree on the content, I think the word "Expert" in the title is misleading. All of these habits are better attributed to Generalists. "Experts" I know are often too focused…

Another fact I like to mention is that BRL-CAD is really a showcase for the UNIX philosophy (modularity&composition): There are 349 single programs in /usr/brlcad/bin. Man page says…

In addition to Postscript, I would also mention Factor ( https://factorcode.org/ ). It is quite approachable to learn stack based programming.…

No, I can't really compare. Back then, I needed to model a not too complicated geometry for some scientific programming applying raytracing to calculate some view factors. BRL-CAD provided all th…

I used it once and really liked it. There is a geometric modeling editor GUI called `mged`. But in general you define your model based on textual input. BRL-CAD has its own DSL. To get a feeling, have…

Git is designed as distributed VCS, so an outage of a centralized server should not matter too much. So far, the theory. Using Github excessively is the way back to centralization, nowadays handing co…
