C has been "losing ground" not because of random per peeves of those who never wrote a line of code in C but because since C's last standard update there have been other programming languages that offer developers something o

Those cloud users can have the same benefit by spending a fraction of the price. That's the point. The question you're trying to ask is whether the added value being promised justifies a price tag that's 10x higher than the o

What a weird comment. I mean, it adds nothing to the discussion and intentionally sidesteps the core of any service: it's business model. If you refuse to even discuss the pricing model of a service, why bother wasting your time postin

If a random guy online uses an account created a couple of days ago to say he has knowledge of something without providing any proof or substance then everyone should just blindly trust him and take his word for it. Right?

Once I bought from Amazon a pack of 4 or 5 USB cables from a seller which had good reviews. Once they arrived, they all broke in a matter of 2 weeks. I mean every single cable in that pack was busted after 2 weeks of use. Based on my infuri

I'm not sure what's your personal definition of REST but REST according to Roy Fielding's definition is an architectural style that helps design APIs that are as loosely coupled as it gets. In fact, I'm not sure what sty
