I have been using xfce for years now. I would recommend people try it, no matter what your machine specs (I have a good laptop). It is just, really, really, fast. I mean, there is a bit of latency opening Firefox or TB from cold, but everyt

Terry Pratchett did a piece on this in his book, "making money". A scam artist was asked to take over the capital city's rotten central bank, which contained the mint. He made the point that these little coins cost more to ma

I'm not the op, but in my little app that uses rabbitmq, you have to never assume timely delivery and processing of messages. I use redis to keep a store of last updated timestamp property (that is, the last time the data was updated),
