Our front end engineers were extremely happy. Me personally, as a backend engineer, not as much, but it isn't too bad. There are some quirks (error handling), performance issues (e.g. fixing n+1 queries) and DOS concerns, but again, it

Depends on typography traditions. In Russian, em-dash in the middle of a sentence is always typeset with short spaces. We also rarely use en-dashes (I think there are maybe two cases when it is allowed: in date ranges like 1940–1945 and as

Man, just post a link to CV like you're advised and let good things happen to you. If they don't, you lose nothing, but if they do, you got something out of your effort.

Chekhov had this very weird and dry sense of humor. Some jokes would certainly look like insults to a random observer. In this case, though, I believe he was actually frank, if blunt, but well meaning (his brother had issues with alcohol).

Russian laws effectively prohibit all kinds of internet pornography. More precisely, they restrict "unlawful distribution of pornography", but never define any "lawful" way to do so. --- That said, if it weren't por

Yeah, civ 5 ai sucks, and don't even get me started about combat (builds all the wrong units and can't properly control the armies it has). I blame 1-unit-per-tile change. It's a shame, especially since in multiplayer this ga

I kind of agree with GP sentiment for two reasons: 1. Nowadays I mostly advice newcomers to start with sinatra instead of rails, because rails keeps growing in scope and the surface to cover is huge 2. Lots of things rails does might seem m

I think you're right when it comes to basic questions (like "how to do XXX in rails"). However, in my practice, 90% of the obstacles are not concerned with how to do something in the framework/language of choice, but rat
