I really enjoyed the article. It reminds me the sort of iterative search for an elegant solution I often had to do during my design engineering MA. I didn't appreciate "design thinking" at the time, it was too much manual wor

I will risk that this will be an unpopular opinion, but if you are having problem with XML, you are using it to solve the wrong problem. I understand writing XSLT and XML Schema can be difficult and I see how typing out XML namespaces can b

Actually, you can upgrade reservations as long as they are on the same machine type, so m3.large -> m3.xlarge -> m3.large is possible mid-year. m1 -> m3 is certainly a problem, but that shouldn't happen too often. So as long a

I believe in this context Li-Fi was either added by the journalist or mentioned to the journalist to make him/her understand the idea better. But this technology is literally just flashing LEDs and reading it with a camera, which turns

From a quick search, Higher Order Perl actually costs more on kindle than on paperback. But you are right, I am sure we could tweak those numbers either way.

Of course the case would be very different if you wanted to publish your book as audio, which is probably much more expensive to produce.

If Skype allowed that (without having to run the original client), they wouldn't make any money. On a related note, is there any multi network app that supports video?

4. You can't seem to actually call phones, which is why everyone uses Skype. Or did I miss something? Notably, all videochat apps makes desktops super hot while their mobile equivalent works fine. My humble guess is because on iOS&#x2F

Part of Minecraft's popularity is it's history of bugs and hacks. It's what makes it all interesting isn't it? If everything worked perfectly from day 1 and every feature were part of the core there would be no sense of

Agree. Almost always you have the option to place some functionality on the hierarchy somewhere, but actually composition would be better. To make matters more difficult, you have to make these kind of decisions very early before you write

Complaints agains oop often arrive from the fact that the programmer starts with an idea of the instance method "do()" and tries to build a class hierarchy under this idea. When the programmer fails, obviously the paradigm is wron

Interestingly enough, the adoption of a new technology standard is very similar problem to that of the adoption of a new product. There is a learning/switching cost involved, and for someone to make the move the pain has to be absolute

I am not the fan either, especially that even the "native" version is just a packaged web browser, and some features (like file upload) were broken when I tried. Unfortunately I do think it's a trend. Maybe someone who actual

If an 8MHz microcontroller is fast enough to implement TCP, then Python should be fast enough too. Here is my two cents on the expirement: 1. You don't really have to ack every packet, you have to order them, drop duplicates and ack th

TBH i never understood the reason for 2to3. Wouldn't a 3 to 2 compiler would be much better? Then people could start using python3 as intended, and simply compile back to python2 if they need to. I doubt there is anything it python3 th

Here are my two cents: 11. Learn to read, navigate and understand code! Unless you are working alone (but even then) you will spend a lot of time "uploading" code to your brain. Code is read more than written. 12. Algorithms are n

I understand dependency injection, but I never understood dependency injection frameworks. For me the whole point of DI is explicit composability. There should only be a few well defined places in my application where all my classes are ass
