When I started out as freelancer, my first three invoices were not for $1400, $5400 and $24000 respectively, and then a potential $340000! They were more like $300, $310, $260 etc. Maybe I'm doing something wrong too. I'd like to see my rev

He's dismissed as a troll, but I find his commit quite interesting. It allows you to compare a real world working program written in Javascript (a language I know) to the same thing written in Erlang (a language I don't know, but find inter

Don't be afraid to show your code to the world. Better yet, paste some in a pastebin and ask for tips in an IRC channel: it'll make you a better developer.

The same thing in Python would require you to import all modules, and place all functions and classes in those modules in one class. Probably can be done, but whether it's useful?

With the current failure rate of harddisks, how many failing harddisks can one expect to swap out/in that array every day? I guess it must be a 24/7 job for a team of operators to keep that thing up. Or maybe they swap in spare harddisks by
