Tel Aviv has many examples of good 20th century urbanism.
London Barbican is also a great example.
I'm sure there are more but we'll see which ones will be true classics over time.

An MVP should consist of the minimum work required to test an hypothesis.
In this case the hypothesis is: "People would buy a browser if it offers an ad-free experience".
So it's viable according to that idea.
Viable doesn't mean useful though :)

Shantaram is a great novel that is very easy to read regardless of the book length (it's very long). If you are even remotely interested in India and/or travelling it is a must.

Yes. Bolzano is curiously one of the hottest cities in Italy during the summer.

OT: out of curiosity, did you get the one with FHD or WQHD screen? Having nightmares trying to set it up with an external monitor and scaling UI properly in Gnome.

Just scrub the footbed with water and marseille soap. It always worked for me with the traditional ones made of leather.
A lighter method is to scrub some bicarbonate of soda gently for a couple of minutes, leave for a day and then clean up.

Dangerous in what way?
I'm European and baffled by this sentence.

This sounds really expensive! Are all contracts similar in the US?
In Italy I pay EUR 5.99/mo for 30gb and unlimited calls including to any European country and some international countries too.

Doing TDD in Python every day. Done that with other languages in the past and can't see any difference, so I'm curious to understand why you have this feeling.

If your application mostly reads from the DB then don't use a ORM. I think ORMs shine when you need to save/update a domain model to a relational DB.
In the CQRS world, a fairly typical choice when using a relational DB is to use a ORM for the write side and raw SQL for the read side.

Well done, it looks really neat, although I personally prefer the simplicity of just using curl in another tmux panel and keep Vim light.
idiocratic | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: What are the best MOOCs you've taken?
Robert Sedgewick's Algorithms has been one of the best for me, not only as a general refresher on algorithms, but also as a way of better understanding complexity notations.

Regarding logs, I found this quite useful: https://github.com/johanhaleby/kubetail

I think this is the same reason a green build is in fact a blue one in Jenkins by default. It was developed by a Japanese programmer.

Maybe it's my bias, being Italian and finding really great pizzas for cheap prices basically anywhere. In the US it might be another story.
idiocratic | 8 years ago | on: Silicon Valley has a new vision for the pizzeria. It involves lots of robots
Wait a second... these guys make supermarket-grade pizza using "Jira and Kanban"?! This world has some serious problems.

idiocratic | 10 years ago | on: Why We Chose Kubernetes
a relatively newcomer in the space is Nomad by Hashicorp, very promising and with simpler architecture. Of course it makes even more sense if used in conjunction with Consul and Atlas from the same company. It's still young and buggy though.
