Ah yes, the thing we had in shell, Perl, and Ruby since forever, and that was never a very good idea.

Step one: take a good book and castrate it from all the important (read: difficult) parts, replacing them with shooting bad guys^Wbugs left and right. Step two: make a minor female character the busty main prize for the hero.

Start with learning cryptography systematically . No, just reading about symmetric encryption and hash functions doesn't cut it.

Well, you have experienced first hand that the Docker's idea that people working with network should not need to understand network is dumb. Start with old and venerable LARTC (Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control HOWTO). TCP&#

Why do you think you need CI for small projects? Sane build scripts should be enough.

You do realize that this "UX" thing was for decades called "ergonomics" and had a large body of research behind, do you?

by dozzie 9y ago
Yeah, congratulations. You have discovered what we, sysadmins, have had for years: logging to remote syslog and reporting in those logs correlation information, akin to queue IDs in e-mail systems.

Why in Python ?

There is a simple solution, though it's quite laborous: create something that you're actually proud of and you know is robust, well-written, and documented.

Yeah, step one: learn Erlang's debugging facilities.

So, basically, take a document timestamping service that is decentralized, and throw away this one and only progressive feature of blockchain by making it have something that resembles central authority. It doesn't sound like the team

It was designed to be as magical as possible, so that programmers that work with network don't need to learn how to configure networking (which is a dumb idea on its own). I don't think there's a good description anywhere.
