NFV refers to the trend nowadays of implementing in software, networking functionality that traditionally used to run in custom built hardware boxes -- even things like your wireless router at home. Providers seem to think that it's ea

It's likely the real reason is the very act of interacting with another culture improves your understanding of that culture and makes you more tolerant. Probably not specific to just learning the language, etc.

FTA: "The company, which makes Kitkat and Aero, says its researchers have found a way to structure sugar differently, so that it uses 40% less." Seems like they re-invented something like Splenda?

Initially I looked at the use of "auto" to declare variables and thought it did type-inteferencing, but it turns out variables were "typeless" (and seems like everything was an integer). Another interesting thing that st

The problem with multi-threading is knowing how to structure your program correctly to avoid issues with concurrent data-structure accesses, etc -- it requires more careful coding. With asyncio, you don't have to think about these issu

For code maintenance I've long since given up on assuming the comments are correct and simply read code and try to understand what is going on (and maybe read the comments later to see if they correlate to my understanding of the code)

Underwhelming so far. Literate programming sounds good, but sometimes it's too much text and you want to quickly scan a few lines of code and guess what's going on without reading that wall of text. I wonder if this is for regular

Both! Python has a fantastic eco-system and you can build lots of things using existing libraries. Go is new and different and useful for server type applications and easy to learn and you can finally figure you what everyone is bitching ab

If the land-lord only likes paper checks and you want to use your credit-card (and maybe get points). RadPad seems to only collect the credit-card fees on top.

With the title structured like that (it's the company, albeit owned by India's richest man -- is it public?), this news-piece already screams "PR". But it seems like a good thing at least in the short-term -- it will sta

I think you should read back to yourself what you wrote -- you are essentially saying git is complex. Anything complex with enough time and understanding can become easy, but do you need the complexity in the first place? Most developers us

Submitted this as I just found it and was fascinated that it targets a specific niche -- as a language to make PHP extensions in while being a full-fledged programming language with a type system and memory safety and compiled to C!
