Interesting article. The second paragraph was a tad confusing so I thought I'd share what I found: I think there's maybe confusion between two "camel AIs": > CamelAI is an open-sou…

I had no idea this existed but seems useful. Took a quick look at the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. Notable gotcha: kids under 16 (in the EU, 13 elsewhere) are prohibited from u…

I agree with that. The engineering process can be applied on every type of problem. Yet, for that specific web dev problem, I haven't seen any way of formally testing the rendering…

Some day we will recognize that some areas of "programming" are very different and require different skill sets, and eventually different titles. We tend to call everything "softwa…

IMHO learning about a new language (without becoming proficient with it) is always good as it makes you think about the one(s) you're proficient with.

+1. Most text editors operate text substitutions (like " I worked in a company where APL used to be very strong (large french truck manufacturer) and they even had lots of programs…

While you're definitely right when it comes to printed books, self-published books tend to be pretty up-to-date (as an example, I believe "Agile Web Development With Rails" runs a …

OP here. Just came across it and I found it was interesting enough as there's not so much books about Docker.

Very interesting read. GitHub explained in "How We Made GitHub Fast"(2009) [1] they patched their ssh daemon, so that it would do some lookups in a MySQL DB. I wonder if daemons li…

It's true yet it's going to be free as in "build it for yourself and maintain it all your life". I tend to forget how I've built some tools I'm using and I sometimes spend hours re…

When private views become public, one should expect to be "judged" by others, especially when this person is explicitly enlisting the company he is working for in such a campaign a…

Find a goal you love or care about and either find a project that shares the same vision as yours, or just create the project from scratch and lead it. Open sourcing your work is a…

I hope this project will get traction. It's always a nightmare for sysadmin (and developers) to discover on Friday nights that most of their apps will require an upgrade in the nex…

PostgreSQL was already able to compete with Oracle's RDBMS and Microsoft's SQL Server but could soon supplant Mongo for most jobs. It's great to know that the only required storage…

Positioning elements, fighting to implement the support of multiples screen resolutions, dealing with JS quarks, etc. All those topics are mastered in most native frameworks and cl…

I'm baffled that a technology stack (HTML, JS) that every single web developer think is broken (but still have to deal with) is being considered for iOS development, and being prom…
