Recently came across this nice guide on Git pull request workflow: https://github.com/susam/gitpr All the important stuff is in the first 4 pages. I have the PDF version on my desktop. Also printed pages 3 and 4 and st

I am inclined to try either FreeBSD or OpenBSD. FreeBSD comes with the bonus that it is supported on some cloud and VPS offerings, so whatever I learn can come useful for practical purpose. But OpenBSD also seems like a great idea because I

90 hours/week = 18 hours/day (assuming 5-day work week). That leaves only 6 hours for other chores, travel and sleep. This is not sustainable. So I'll assume people who can pull off a 90-hour work week work all 7 days of the

What is p and t? You say that this work shows that p and t are different. What two entities are proven to be equal then in this work?

So does this article prove that two uncountable infinities are equal? Can you tell us precisely what two entities have been proven equal in this article? I understand aleph-0, aleph-1 and 2^aleph-0 and I also understand that if continuum hy

Can you simplify for us what exactly have the mathematicians in this article proven? I get that they have proven some infinity A = some infinity B but can you tell us what these A and B are. Also, isn't the cardinality of reals equinum

It is not uncommon to come across open positions that actually do require Unix (not Linux) experience. For example, American Express has a large deployment of AIX systems and they indeed look for candidates with experience in AIX systems, a

Thank you for commenting here! I am curious. Can you be a little specific and tell us what Linux or Unix experience do you have? I mean can you specify the Linux distro names and the Unix brand names (AIX, Solaris, etc.) that you have worke

Don't you think the risk you are talking about in believing a 20 year old is exaggerated? Is it that hard to go back to the manager and ask if "Unix-like" is acceptable although the job description says "Unix"? Or j

What is Bottle faster and simpler than? CherryPy? Flask? Ice? Do you have benchmarking results to support your claim? What aspects of Bottle are simpler? Writing code using it? Deploying it? Can you elaborate with some concrete examples?

Sorry that is not how the database market works. > Oracle lives in a market protected by high barriers to entry and low customer expectations. This is false. Oracle has a very tough competitor called Microsoft SQL Server. In fact, Oracle

Oracle is lethargic from the perspective of its employees because the company is extraordinarily sluggish and apathetic. The pace at which Oracle develops software, the flagship Oracle Database for example, is ridiculously slow. The Databas

I have worked in Oracle for 2 years and I have worked at other Fortune 500 companies. Oracle, by far, is the most soulless and lethargic company among all of them.

I don't see how this comment can be true. I have worked for a few big name companies that did not require engineers to work for more than 8 hours per day. In fact, most of my teammates used to work between 4-7 hours per day. These comp
