I do not agree with you. See my comment (sibling to yours).

I can confirm that this works for a programmer. I didn't even know that I function like this, before reading the article. I will go even further, and state that it works for everything. And it's very often better to be a "master" of several

I disagree. I will ask you several questions. You probably know their answers. And the OP probably doesn't (at least not all). * What is a network interface? * What is localhost? * What is a reverse proxy? Why the hell does one need that? A

Nowadays, you will most likely never need to recompile your kernel. At least not if you are doing "normal" stuff. Let me give you an example of what kind of stuff you will come head to head with: Recently I was installing and configuring a

Because by using a VM on a "baby-sitted environment" like Linode, you will most likely never have any real issues. Unless you create them yourself (which is quite likely).

Nuking your computer is a part of the learning curve. It will happen one day. And if that happens on a production server, it hurts quite a lot more, than on your own desktop machine. "Server Administration" is not only "having the feel".

Well, the thing is, he doesn't know what of all these he needs to learn. And there is no "book" or "tutorial" that can cover this. Only way is the old and tested one... force yourself to use it, till you "get it". I don't know anyone who le

I don't know what kind of answers are you hoping to get here, but from the way you address the issue, I would say that there is no easy way to this. If you want to learn linux server administration, IMHO the easiest (or at least the one whi

Hey there :) Well, my observations are mostly from some seaside resorts, where I've seen more tipping. From what you say, the "normal" areas are just like in Bulgaria in this aspect.
520.
by loxs 14y ago
As an Eastern European, I concur. Here (Bulgaria), it's common to round up (only to the degree of 1 leva (0.50 euro)) for taxis and restaurants. This is "normal". If you tip higher, for example if you round up from 47 leva to 50, it's mostl

Yeah, they are paying half, but they can afford a Gym, or an office overlooking the bay? That sounds like an even bigger screw up...

Most of the answers here and on stack exchange clearly show that the person answering has never been (or lots of time has passed since) in this position. I have been in this situation lots of times. Not only I didn't have the years, by I al

I can't think of a case where this can be a problem by accident. Back when I was in the medical school (Bulgaria, Eastern Europe) we sometimes used air embolism to kill off experimental animals. I remember that the quantity of air needed is

That is correct. But then, after you implement the system in question, you might not want to call that ZeroMQ any more. In the same way that we don't mention ssh when we talk about our Erlang clusters. And I think, you will lose quite a lot

by loxs 14y ago
Well, of course, you are correct. The author said that in the article. As long as a language is Turing complete, you can use it to do everything that is possible with the other Turing complete languages. But he is not discussing what is pos

As long as you have the "over ZeroMQ" part, it's not Erlang style :). The author tries to explain exactly that. In Erlang the "over X" part is omitted. In Erlang the "over" entity is a processing unit of its own. In abstract terms, in Erlan

I don't know what exactly do you mean by "dynamic topology" here, but I'll try to explain what the author means, from my Erlang programmer point of view. In ZeroMQ you define a "network topology", however "dynamic" it might be. You define "

IMHO, decorators, although very useful are a big departure away from python's "simplicity" in syntax. I remember having lots of headaches several years ago wile trying to fit it in my brain. Even after I realized it is something as simple

Also, have a look at this phenomenon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war Digitally mastered recordings DO SOUND BETTER on low-grade sound systems (that's the reason for their existence after all). But on a quality hi-fi system, tho

Yes. Not to mention that some "pirates" release recordings of such qualities, that you cannot buy on a CD/DVD (at least in my part of the world - Eastern Europe). For someone with a decent sound system these things DO matter, and 256kbps tr

I am a Bulgarian from Turkish descent. Cyrillic is the first alphabet I have learned, and this certainly contains words that do sound articulate when read "in Cyrillic". But it also contains letters that don't exist in Cyrillic. For example

I live in Bulgaria. The official script here is Cyrillic. Although all OSs support Cyrillic, the vast majority of users use the so called 'shlyokavitsa' - using ASCII to write in Bulgarian, which (as expected) is not very suitable for the p

It's the same with comments. I usually join discussions several hours late. Mostly because I live in Europe. Usually I get 1 or 2 up/down votes and almost no answers. So I generally think that good stories shouldn't decay as fast as they do

This is not true. There is no biological reason why a vaccine wouldn't work on an infected individual. What you say is a myth, mostly as a result of most vaccines being about accute infections, like smallpox. In those cases, there is no rea
