Working on this: https://www.prisonlegacy.com - Twenty-six years ago, a small Spanish studio shipped the most unusual PC MMO ever made: a maximum-security prison where every player is an inmate. La Prisión ran on community loyal

I like when projects like this mention other projects. "Phinx" (PHP) has been a breeze to work with for database migrations for years now, and handles more than my team needs. Meanwhile, some time ago a colleague in other job was

Indeed, made some preliminary tests under RHEL 9 (Rocky, etc) for example and if you're used to compile HAProxy from sources to use specific OpenSSL versions, testing "aws-lc" is fairly straightforward. Their BUILD instructio

Agree. But you need confidence on being able to debug / log / fix / revert, so having a strong knowledge of some of the parts is mandatory (i.e. server if it's web-dev, etc).

My experience: coming from programming in C, then doing web-scripting with Perl, then PHP 4 through 5, 7 and 8 versions, it's been delightful. Big improvements in speed, ecosystem, very nice backwards compatibility in general (which is

Sorry but your example shows that you know Python better than PHP.

Same here, gource did help to visualize a complete revamp / refactor of a software, from the current mess by that time, to the final, pratically complete rewrite it was (through a process, since keep it working was mandatory). Really i

Well, in my particular experience with juniors, it's astonishing the so many ways they have to make any code run slower than it has to be (besides the network and database queries), just by thinking 'nah, this is a computer and it

I don't think that tools like ReaR (Relax and Recover) would agree with retiring ISOs..

Same here on using lsyncd and restic. Curious about the LVM+rsync method for nightly? My two cents: ReaR (Relax and Recover) for Linux for raw moving servers has saved me a couple of times.

>Skip low level and go as high as you can. Ditch C, assembly, hardware. Take python, ruby, js. Never touched C++ cause it’s awful? Good. In my personal experience, I think that having to work on different high AND more low level programm

Those comments are nice to read. I tried, but my coworkers are too "young" or from other generation, I guess. The response [about simply buying a book] was "Oh, another person said it wasn't needed [to buy a book about t

Yep, I acquired the habit to write var names like "cur_thing" for "current thing", you know.

Interesting. Just for sharing, for backup on Linux I've been using rsnapshot, restic (which accepts Rclone as interface) and ReaR (Relax and Recover) for full linux recovery; on Windows, commercial Acronis and recently UrBackup. Old go

Ummm no, but just to give credit, I'm using lighttpd for production for years now and happy with latest patches and stuff (supports HTTP/2 and several improvements over time), give it a try

As others have commented, my team at work use SVN because it's what somebody is confident to manage with svn+ssh protocol and want to keep it internal. Some projects use a "release" branch to which we merge when deploy is sen

My opinion is that too often we say "good enough" performance, let's optimize later if this degrades overtime... And there we are, sometimes creating time-bombs of performance degradation just for the sake of delivering featu
