What would be a sane deployment workflow for a static site generator, so that the static content ends up behind an Apache web server in my box? edit markdown -> push github --> server does a pull -> builds -> deploy ?

I have checked the book out, and it seems to have attracted a fairly amount of criticism, since its publication. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Arab_Mind I will nevertheless read it.

"Contractors are generally not the strongest technically" Where does this come from? I actually see a contractor as someone who had experienced way more "war stories" than the guy who has been sitting in the same chair f

I have never received so many scala job offers like in the last 6 months. The other day a recruiter contacted me because he needs to fill 60 Scala roles! As someone else stated, it's mostly financial firms that are investing heavily in

The railway is also featured in an early Wim Wenders' movie "Alice in the Cities". It's actually one of my favourite movies, highly recommended. The movie also features a prototype Polaroid camera!

It's probably worth mentioning that very recently Eco, along with other writers such as Hanif Kureishi and Tahar Ben Jelloun, decided to leave his long-time publisher, Bompiani, and start a new publishing house, named "La nave di

Also, don't you think that the technical competence of a candidate is just a fraction of the elements required to work in a company? What if the guy is a complete toxic worker or dishonest etc. etc. It is not that difficult to pass a t
