I think you'll find that Germany isn't replacing nuclear power, just buying it from outside their borders instead of generating it themselves [1]. [1] http://www.spiegel.de/international/business/greenwashing-af...

In South Africa we have a government-run telco monopoly. We also have some of the shittiest, most expensive internet in the world. At least with private enterprise you can choose the least bad option.

It was pretty interesting to see the all-time details for the languages: * Python [1,2] : 20 + 15 = 35 * Ruby [3,4] : 31 + 8 = 39 * PHP [5] : 336 Ouch :( [1] http://www.cvedetails.com/product/2147/Python-Software-Found... [2] http://www.

Also, tools other than text editors - especially those designed to show code side-by-side like web-based code review tools (), etc become much harder to use when you have long lines.

multitail[1] is also really nice for following multiple log files. It can do highlighting of lines based on regex's, and has built-in highlighting of a wide variety of log formats [1] http://www.vanheusden.com/multitail/features.php

Yeah, at one stage about 2 years ago they blocked the whole of South Africa, because most web traffic comes from a small number of transparent proxies from each ISP (bandwidth is pretty scarce here). Incredibly irritating

I've done quite a lot of (embedded) OS development in VS. It's a pretty nice experience, because you can generate a console app that you can use as an emulator that allows you to prototype really fast, and use your embedded toolchain when b

Until you have more than one app running on the same machine with different dependencies... like say on a development machine. This is the point when bundling shines, because it elevates you off of the os-level dependencies.
