Interesting personal anecdote on salt. After our marriage, my wife's mother shared her precious cookbook with her and asked her to copy/translate it. My wife did so and she used that as the basis of her cooking since. There was on

That is interesting. The title leads one to believe the article is only about mosques and the pictures have no captions explaining what or where they are.

No (useful) code lives in a vacuum. What you write WILL need to be maintained if it is of any value to someone other than yourself. Write code so that others can read, understand and maintain. Don't be a code 'Magician'. Few

Setting up a corporate entity (any kind) in California gives you a mandatory minimum $800/yr bill from the CA Franchise Tax Board. So if you are planning to incorporate in CA, be sure you are serious and don't mind an automatic $8

The only words that come to my mind when I hear the name Donald Knuth are "Never was so much owed by so many to so few". The original context is different but I wonder if we can ever compute all the wealth and impact that has been

I had to scroll three pages down to see the words 'emerging markets' in the article. Or maybe the title is referring to 'Emad Mostaque's (The author of the piece)' back. It would really be good not to use abbreviati

Have you evaluated Elixir yet? Targets Erlang BEAM + OTP backend + Ruby like syntax. Best of both worlds, maybe? The Phoenix framework sweetens the deal too. I would also add Ecto ORM for popular RDBMS backends.
