Now that's the kind of thing that would make Vault 101 more cheery! The survivors of the nuclear apocalipse would surely revere the inventor of this thing as a god. ...and obligatory musical reference: https://www.youtube.co

Wake up. People don't use Mongo because of it's better write performance. They use it because it increases junior developer productivity at building a shipable MVP and allows for more "natural" data models 99% of the tim

I'm also interested about how you curate the list of products. Do you have some kind of semi-automatic system or something? Or you just add them by hand?

My bad. I've read about this from a different source, not the linked article, and it omitted this piece of information. I've deleted my last line comment concerning this, but it doesn't affect what I was trying to say, which

This guy so smart but at the same time such an idiot. SYNTAX and SEMANTICS are essentially SAME THING. It's only a context-dependent difference, and this difference is quantitative, even if we still don't have a good enough defini

Thanks! Finally a static site generator that you can actually fully understand in 5min! And the whole Mako + yaml + tree variables is so sweat and simple.

Nope. The whole point of a "static site generator" should be for it to be SIMPLE . If it takes me more than 15 min to understand almost everything about it, I consider the said generator a failure . This is why I never bothered

How can one even remotely think that an app like Telegram can be secure, as long we know the very platforms it's running on are hackable (there are more than enough 0days on the market)?! Yeah, maybe it's expensive and a bit fri

Primates are a very valuable resource for medical research. Lots of research programes would highly benefit from higher primates. But researches have been driven to be even afraid to ask for access to such a resource if they want grants
