Sports photographers probably take 1000 photos/hour. :) As for price, i don't think it will even take that long. In 2 years it will cost something like 50 bucks. A USB3.0 128GB flash drive (260MB/s read, 240MB/s write)

The first book on that list "Grey Hat Python" isn't very good. It contains some good parts but it skips things like Scapy which a consider a superb tool if you are in the pentesting business. I recommend reading "Violen

I currently use a Thinkpad T530 with Ubuntu 14.04 and TLP power management and it works great. I modded mine by replacing the 900P screen with a 1080P IPS screen and putting a bigger SSD (128GB vs 500GB). Highly recomended. Specs: Intel Cor

What about game framework, computer vision, scientific computing, robotics, etc? I'm sure you can come up with examples for each of these but most are either dormant/abandoned or simply non-existant. As for infrastructure, yes Che

I don't know why people keep complaining about Ruby's (MRI) speed. Yes, it's not that fast but for most programmer's doing web development it doesn't matter. Remember, you are (probably) not writing the next Twitter

The most ridiculous example is the 5th edition of "Learning Python" by Mark Lutz. It's supposed to be an introduction to the Python language and it's almost 1600 pages long. The 1st edition was less than 400, the 2nd was

Can some recomend some decent source material to learn about Node.js and some best practices about it? I've read "The Node Beginner Book" and found it quite easy but somehow it didn't click.

I've grown so dispassionate about the tech industry in Portugal that I've been thinking about quitting and doing something else (I'm 28 and I always wanted to be a software developer). I can't change countries (my girlfriend's profession do

Cheap? Yes, if you come from a country like the US, UK, Germany, etc. The problems is that salaries for tech jobs aren't very good compared with said countries.

Most (all?) tech jobs in Portugal are in Lisbon. I know companies in Oporto (Portugal 2nd biggest city) that have problems hiring people because everyone flees to Lisbon when they finish their degree. I tried to move to a smaller city (I'm

I'm not sure what I have learned here or why this is important to be mentioned here. Guy is leaving Big Corp (TM) and moving to San Francisco to build stuff. He says some nice things about said company and that's it. So, what else? Edit:
