Too many hours devoted to employer. I already have something bootstrapped active (movinggauteng.co.za), but stagnating a bit. Wanted to launch a small December idea to take my mind off my 2 jobs. This year I'm aiming to work no more th

My last math was in high school, and I'd like to spend more time learning in the coming year. I often read research papers, and the biggest challenge for me is the notation. I can understand the stuff around set theory, and a bit of th

This was previously submitted earlier in the week, can't find the link though. Someone suggested talking to the PD to find out whether there were specific operations being undertaken at that time. Very good analysis nonetheless!

Yeah, we had openings, middle-game strategy, endgame, as well as tactics, in our roster. I know there were Chess Opening Encyclopedias, someone once donated one to me, but we could never afford to buy much material as we were lacking in boa

I wish I had learnt to play when I was younger, i.e before my teens. I learnt as a teen while in secondary school, and it came at a time where I needed to learn some mental discipline. In high school we used to coach younger kids from a ne

Perhaps because it generates a lot of noise (latency, active users) in the process, like the vuvuzela does :) I was hoping to find the rationale in the name on the link, but didn't see anything.

I wasted a lot of weekends getting Docker or Vagrant to work so the rest of my team could follow what I was doing. After a few weeks of Google and outdated documentation, I decided to try out LXC and throw away all the other fancy tools. I

Like others mention here, I'm skeptical of these types of comparisons. If I compare myself to my competitors, I won't publish results if they're better than me. I tried ArangoDB about a year ago, I think I still have the bran

What happens 9 months down the line when v8 stable reaches 48.x? I thought that under semver Node would most likely be a semver-major whenever v8 is the same. If my assumption is correct, how will we handle 6.x and 8.x a potential 18 months

From my tax knowledge, in South Africa it's difficult to get away with paying ridiculously low amounts of tax consistently. The corporate tax rate is 28% taxed on worldwide earnings. Though you prepare returns as a single entity (i.e.

IE8 is holding the rest of us back. Reality is that most usage of IE8 comes from corporate users who are stuck on such IE8. We can't keep supporting legacy browsers forever. The solution that has been working is to warn the user that t

If I hadn't decided to move to JIRA I'd still be saying Atlassian sucks because of the lackluster Bitbucket issue system. It was my biggest complaint because I was being cheap and not wanting to spend the amount of money I spend o

The flaw/problem with splitting the "ad engine" is that it won't survive on its own. By ad engine, I'll assume you mean AdWords and Adsense combined. I'll call them Google Ads. Businesses that rely on ads to su

On Android it does, and assuming that it uses the Push Notification API via WebServiceWorker, the user should be able to globally turn the notifications off (as they wouldn't be device-specific).

Am I right that HackedDB could be because someone who noticed the lack of authentication created such database? If I can connect to an instance without auth, I can also create a DB and collections etc.

Similar to what everyone else is saying, I don't get the author's point. I taught myself JavaScript a few years ago, and the first time I came across that || assignment, it made sense. I think many other people would say the same.

Yea, and I suppose it adds some complexity as new features have to be usable by storage engines. I can't remember what the JIRA ticket was about, but I've seen that there are some edge cases that have to be considered for the plug

I think it's schemas in the sense that you start enforcing some rules at the database level for your JSON/BSON/JSONB data, instead of relying on ORMs. Defining schemas at an ORM-level means that you always have to replicate t
