I agree with never using latest, but disagree with the use of `major.minor` over `major.minor.patch`. Subscribe to all of your core dependencies release/security notes (OS, language, framework) and bump to the most recent patch version

I still remember when I was first introduced to google in the 5th grade. Our computer class taught us about search engines and how to find information online. They showed us lycos, altavista, dogpile, ask jeeves, etc. and everyone in the cl

The west wing should have had a map nerd on their writing staff. It's hard to believe a group of 4300 cartographers would come together and choose Gall-Peters over Robinson, Winkel-Tripel, or Kavraisky 7 as a replacement for Mercator.
