Agreed, it is a very good guide. However, the ZeroMQ author goes a lot further than that for his specific application. He made some reasonable arguments that even the use of OOP/classes in C++ makes catching undefined behaviour unnecessaril

I do not understand how GSM applies in this case. GSM is a standard. No one specified or forced any particular implementations on anyone, as far as I know. Unlike this South Korea SEED approach.

Asking or even forcing the ISP's to give a parental options to block porn would have been sufficient in that case. Given they have gone a LONG way past that with a proposal of a default ISP block and opt-in requirement, we can safely be s

Think I would qualify his key takeaway somewhat: "Are there any lessons to be learned from this? For one, if you work at a company where everyone wants to use a competitor's product instead of its own, be very worried." This is because co

Doesn't this mean ISPs themselves couldn't use their own DNS servers for a reliable DNS service? Talk about not drinking your own Kool-Aid...

I think they are still trying. There is an on-going tabloid newspaper campaign where they are trying to force the ISPs and politicians (especially the opposition) to adopt or commit to an "opt-in" for porn on Internet connections. That is,
