In a way, we did evolve to acquire the brainpower —and invent the tooling and the methods— with which we managed to discover the vaccines and cures to effectively eradicate the diseases.

Revel with me in the thought that we —humans— think we are center of the world. That Earth is made for us and we have the power to shape it in whichever way we wish. That we own the planet. But, in reality, we don't. We are here only t

JBI déjà vu. I see some parallelism between this JSR and the Java Business Integration (JBI, JSR-208) JSR back in 2005. Instead of building a standard for integration, they ended up specifying a standard for interoperability between integra

That would defeat a major goal of isolation: security. It also creates fragility. What happens if a process is buggy and rallies up to 100% CPU? It affects all others. Although to solve these issues you could use cgroups and namespaces... A

Doesn't this article fail to consider the bigger, practical picture, i.e. overall resource efficiency/footprint in multi-component architectures? Containers allow us to condense workloads in a single OS runtime –while preserving i

The North Korean developers who worked on this must be privileged beings with access to the open Internet. I can't imagine developing such a complex system without documentation and references. Maybe they even hang out in Stack Overflo

Whenever you create an ad on FB, it is also placed on Instagram by default. I wonder how many out of that 1M were people who didn't disable the default.

The "languages over time" section [1] is overrepresenting Javascript. It shows separate charts for JS and node.js, when the latter is not a language but a runtime environment. I would love to see the chart for Go instead of Javasc

All I'm saying is that it's unfair to discredit the argument that Haskell has been around for 25 years, hence its had more time to evolve a more complete tooling offering. It is a valid argument. If Haskell didn't exist and

Nice writeup! ZeroMQ is not written in Erlang. You probably confused with RabbitMQ, which is.
