I suppose the question "how may I use the wrong tool for the job" is to be expected in a Micro$oft room :)

Why do you think I posted it here instead of Workplace?  ;-)

 

Fleebs - thanks.  Yes, fully synchronized, sadly.

Bart, will re-suggest open ssl, but my understanding is that it got shut down already more than once.

Ultimately, it was discovered that Adobe Updater had failed - and the way it failed completely b0rked SCUP.  Sad.

The Adobe Updater probably failed because of over work. It uses more processing power than any of the Adobe
software.

enjoy!

(most probably that blog is this fast, because of it was implemented in see-carpet by a senior developer *cough*)

According to him, c++ became obsolete decades ago.

So, I guess I'm a dynosaur.

Oh, and to emphasize how ridiculous he is, he later writes:

"In this environment Objective C, Java, and .NET (along with C++) all have a bright future."

So, C++, an obsolete language, has a bright future in consumer apps.

Clearly, he can't find his brain for all the shit in his head.

I don't find it all that full of sh@t.  He has followed some lesser tech and coding.  You must admit that in reading that scribe that he has cataloged it well.  The detail is there, and the forward momentum of his predictions far outweigh Gartner or other "think tanks".

yea, as long as see-carpet interpreters are implemented in C/C++...

that article is good for a flamewar ;-)

you may also read his note about tablets - essence Surface Pro is a laptop without descent keyboard - its hot, loud and slow.

Gartner Goop? They can't predict shit. All they do is get paid to say "current trends will continue" by pointy-headeds who want to cover their asses and point to a Gartner Goop document if a decision they made causes problems.

Actually, if you read the comments in the article, he reveals that he miswrote when he described c/c++ in that way, and that he should have stated that they have fallen into niche markets.

I can agree with that. But it certainly hasn't been obsolete for 'decades'.
That's utterly ridiculous.

well, they had more dominant times; however usual linux applications still tend to be written in C; I also don't know a commandline shell written in an interpreted language as you can get for windows.

Windows now has PowerShell.

I haven't done much with it, but it seems like a considerably more powerful shell for the OS. But, this is the wrong room for anything pro-Microsoft (and I'm not one who likes to give them props anyway).

As one who has looked at PowerShell and the wraper-ing of win32/64 crap named libraries with camel case and periods for Windows libraries... I can safely say, avoid (until someone else writes a better wrapper around that steaming pile).

yes, written in see-carpet -> shell written in an interpreted language.

Yes, because when they decided to build a real shell to replace cmd.exe, they couldn't just go with the established standard POSIX shell. Because they're determined to follow in IBM's footsteps, they had to instead build REXX, er, I mean PowerShell with all of its weird syntax, un-memorizable parameters, and the kind of object integration only lovable by the person who wrote it.

This will eventually come back to bite them. Just ask IBM, who has spent the last two decades trying to (badly) POSIX-ize their proprietary stuff.

Many people had written a better shell than cmd in their spare time.  I would imagine they have done the same for PooperShell as well, but I just stick to compiled Python if I need a new tool on Winders.

Because I lost my taste for Java like programming back in the late 90's and early 2000's.

but... butt buttttt you can't compare these! see-carpet pet store example has 30% less LOC than the java one for the same functionality!
