   Cloudflare might have other issues from time to time, but I've never experienced the similar problem. I'm running around 40 domains on Cloudflare Free plan. About 20 of these domains have some traffic.

   I still remember the days when as a child (age 11-12 or smth) I was asking my parent few more hours before bed to complete another chapter of my game in GameMaker. It was such a fun, probably it pushed me towards coding. Mark Overmars, than

    I can freely attribute my previous and current job, as well as my current partnership (emerged from the current job) to LinkedIn. I've been reached out by recruiters both times and apparently it did work out. From another POV I underst

    In my case this worked out pretty well. Other than data separation and ease of scaling database per-customer (they might have different behavior of read/write operations), they other benefit was that we could place customer's data

    Indeed there's a need... We were putting common SQL queries in the code repository for later copy-pasting in the past, but we stopped doing that when we discovered Metabase ( https://metabase.com/ ). I believe it will be

    Praise to Emirate Airlines. My best flight experience was with them. I can confirm that their food in the economy class was pretty good, in comparison to other airlines they were serving the real meal.

    One tiny detail that bothers me is that there's a Windows logo on the keyboard. It could be Tux or Ubuntu logo. Tux Penguin sticker solved my problem on my XPS 13, but would be nice to see it coming out of the box.

    I'm very happy that I bought Dell XPS 13 (aka Sputnik 3) instead of MacBook Air. There were some problems regarding driver support thought... but in the latest Ubuntu 15.04 most of them, maybe even all of them, are gone. I've been
