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-source, modular framework for building

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 using this. (Also, it says "Au revoir mes petits choux

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 web pages, which would make it consistent on every bro

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 "software engineering" so that everybody can fe

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 "<-" turning to "←" automatically), so ASCII doesn't seem inevitable anymore (and I believe it's even truthier with virtual keyboards). I worked in a co

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 test suite against Rails and the author gets

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 like OpenSSH now have some kind of plugin mechanism

Now that Firefox's teaming up with Tor, I would have been tempted to think they would make users switch to StartPage or DuckDuckGo. Also, they really should start asking what search engine a user prefers during the first boot of the ap

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-understanding what I've

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 and is a well-known field activist. AFAICT he _had_

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 an important part of learning as people will eventually send

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 next couple of hours because an exploit is out (of nowhere

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 components nowadays could be PG and ElasticS

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 clearly a hot topic in web dev. Maybe broken is a little bit e

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 promoted as an easy way to develop native apps. This is whe
