This is beautiful and really functional (UI & UX). This is now my homepage, so you've got your first contributor, at least. :) I'm really glad you chose to serialise articles rather than attempt to cleverly aggregate them (it

The problem with this in London (my city), at least, is that transportation (commute) costs[1] go up fast as you move further away, assuming workplace is not something you can easily change. This means costs don't go down as fast as yo

Either the linker, or GDB (or your debugger) can disable it for you. Under GDB it's controlled by the setting disable-randomization (defaults to false).

Perhaps[1]. It doesn't mean it's not a valuable or indicative 1%. Moreso, this does a surprisingly good job of balancing between practical (vocational) skills and background knowledge. [1]: though it depends what you work on - thi

This is pretty handy - I found it pretty useful to help me find where my strengths (and weaknesses!) lie, just by reading off where I'm Level 3 and where I'm Level 2. :) It also feels like a great and clear challenge to action to

Yup, I agree with you (and pjmlp, who I can't reply to) on all of this. I can see where you're coming from in pushing for all-value semantics, taking advantage of the mechanisms built into the language to control how those semanti

BigInteger& add_one(BigInteger& num) is an awful function (really no checks of any kind, such as multiple holders). You suggest that it's valid for more complex practical examples, but that's a simple example whe

You seem to be pretty fundamentally missing the point of using those examples. All of your examples look almost identical in Rust and C++. That's not a positive, nor is it a demonstration of similarity - it's a useless set of exam

This article is by the BBC. Most of us Brits consider it a national treasure for providing relatively unbiased and often deadpan reporting on news topics. :) That's not to say that there couldn't have been criticism if another sou

Speaking of those words, it's worth noting that those points (national security, foreign policy, economic health/financial stability) are the same that GCHQ [is charged][1] to protect (I'd cite NSA, but I'm not familiar

Yes, absolutely. Much in the same way that web frameworks do this. :) The complexity is handed off to the framework authors/community and (web) development is revolutionised for everyone else.

Unless you have a framework sitting over the lot, defining that some set of (service, interface, version) tuples collectively makes up an 'application'. This way, you get most-every benefit of SOA whilst being able to reason about

There's nothing wrong with Mesos on 4 hosts, though... Anything more than a single host requires additional co-ordination - picking Mesos is mostly no different than rolling alternate methods for doing so. It's not choice with the

Thanks! I'll try that.

Not a bad idea actually. Although I'd presumably have to be sure that the author is in the USA - or perhaps myself? (I'm in the UK, for reference) The domain is WhoisGuard protected either way, so it's hard to be sure.

Even for those who know the subject matter, building these VMs as demonstration is a long and difficult process - this is awesome not least because it's a huge amount of work by someone. :) Having seen this I'm tempted to go build

Akin to :skip, wouldn't a :preserve or :quote block to suspend syntax temporarily be useful? That is, for tracts of text that need to be quoted verbatim, including colons or [brackets] or similar? Given how the parser is designed it se

Agreed. We _partially_ solve this problem by letting you run a dev cluster that you can use for services which are awkward to run locally, but stubbing/mocking definitely has a place in automated testing, certainly.

Mountebank/mocking is a great solution when your components are too big to spin up new ones for 'free'. It's exactly because Docker-based components end up so big that it seems hard to believe in the viability of that ap
