I don't think anyone who deals with character encodings should encourage latin-1 in 2016 instead of utf8. Fair enough, your old C code will work, but everyone else will hate you. Except, of course, if you deal with Windows...

Would it help you if they phrased it as "Frenzy helps their clients grow their business by delivering results-oriented digital solutions?" I do not think anyone working for a 'digital strategy firm' should be the first t

I find any talk about continuous integration that does not deal with migrations and data persistence a bit of a joke. I'm going to guess the writer is hoping to run migrations/db changes while maintenance mode is enabled.

In the first few years, twitter had a hard cap on the number of followers (I think it was like 10,000), and people with large audiences were forced to manage their followers. I wondered if they could have started charging 'brands'

Docker will only let you cross-compile to OSes with the same kernel, which is relatively limited. A full set of say vagrant files would be slower, but a lot more polyvalent (but even then it would not let you, say, compile a windows binary

I think a private enterprises in the U.S. can refuse money, so your bank can refuse that 1000$ bill at their discretion (and pissing you off as a customer in the process). However, the government probably is required to take that money to p
