Math.random doesn't necessarily have side affects. If it's storing a seed value, and incrementing that each time; then yes it stores mutable state which is a side affect because future invocations of that function will then depend

At first I read this article title as "Angular 2 Finally Released" :)

But he didn't just leak information concerning his homeland. He actually leaked information about allies of his homeland e.g. the UK. I'm pretty sure that alone will ensure he won't get pardoned. It could cause one of the big

Presumably that Oracle will sue them for patent infringement several years down the line when the claimed damages is far higher.

Validating e-mails is pointless - short of sending them a confirmation URL and waiting. Sanity checking them however is often useful for checking form input or data cleansing.

Can anyone explain if the title and vague explanation is really true? Malicious ZIPs implies to most that simply opening the ZIP, perhaps with a particular ZIP archive tool, is sufficient to cause infection. If this is the case then it&#x27

A few thousand jobs that Japanese automakers bring to the UK is nothing compared to the jobs that can be created as a result of a successful Brexit. Jaguar Land Rover continues to go from strength to strength... how about turning the tables

Mailgun has proved reliable for us. Sparkpost came across a bit desperate and opportunistic on Twitter in the immediate Mandrill aftermath so I avoided them.

I didn't know about their new'ish Origin CA offering. Cloudflare should be pushing this more as it is clearly the solution to their Flexible SSL and non-strict Full criticism.

There is so much wrong with this blog post that I don't even know where to begin. He appears to have included Python-specific details in his list of why he hates lists and dictionaries. Apparently Python throws exceptions if a key does

I expected this blog post to be launching their API - which is now, what, about 3 or 4 years overdue? But alas no - just some privacy encroachment changes to their T&Cs...

That's an awesome plausible theory. Must be happening somewhere in the universe for sure!

Idempotency, event sourcing and sagas with compensations are ways to solve your problem. A shared database is an anti-pattern in distributed systems. Similarly, distributed transactions (ala. DTC) is an anti-pattern. Distributed systems are

I took one look at "baasil.io" and saw the typical landing page with a "Plans" link at the top and questioned why anyone would want to take a dependency on this. If there is some OSS project behind the plan-based charade

But all you've done is shift the problem to, er, you. If someone is uncomfortable taking out a dependency on say Azure or AWS - the two leading Docker hosting platforms, then they sure as hell aren't going to take out a dependency

Article says "IOC !== DI". Actually that is wrong. IOC = Composition Root + DI + Lifetime Management Be wary of any IOC Container that supports a global static function like GetInstance<T>(...) As this is not IOC or DI. This

"In the olden days, being a backend developer meant that you wrote a long list of functions that mapped to HTTP requests. A post to /item/14 was turned into createItem( id ) — and we liked it that way." That's not t

Sold based on features, rather than sold for being based on a particular platform. That's what it means.

The typical Regus office has only 3 to 6 employees. So WeWork's biggest established incumbent rival is far more efficient.

It's worse than just that. They claim it's a "replacement" (!) for SQLite. That is an incredibly bold claim. From what I've gathered about Realm it isn't the same type of database as SQLite at all: Object store
