Thanks. I'm aware of that handbook but somehow I find web-based books lack the charm of a real book but eventually once I know my way around it, I'm sure I'll come to it.

Thanks, I'll probably get it.

Is there a 300-page or less book that can teach practical usage of FreeBSD? Like the C book or the UNIX programming environment book. I have it installed on one of my laptops but never got around to use it.

What about ROS? They have pubsub, services (like HTTP), actionlib (basically like a progress event) and message code generation. They also have entire suite for debugging and logging the communications (e.g. rostopic, rosservice, rosbag, etc..). They even have rosbridge_websocket if you need web apps to interact with native apps and servers. They are also building ROS 2 which might be even nicer.

That last answer reminds me of my researcher colleagues :D. Are most them like that?

A lot of them are similar but then you have games like Fortnite which looks totally different.

I always wondered, how do they count so many mosquitos? Is there a technique to determine that it's 20M?

Does anybody know why Go binary-trees is so much slower than Java's?

I just tried on my Gitlab 8.16 and it seems to be able to do that. If you go to the Code tab, it shows snippets of files that contain the search term.

Yeah, being unable to host Gitlab under 512MB is just too bloaty for me. I know Gogs doesn't have this issue for the same features I use. I still use Gitlab though because it's the mainstream.

Sorry, one of the first links when I searched for Django on Bing (currently in China) is django-cms.org.

I have done little Wordpress development (just some plugin for a prototype that my company wanted). But I don't see anything that prevented it from being used to develop a web application since the theme/plugin system seems to fulfill everything. Django also describes itself as a CMS platform on their website so I kind of thought they are comparable.

Just wanted to make sure I know what I'm getting before I jumps in further into either Wordpress or Django :D

I've never developed using Django. How does it compare to Wordpress? Or under what situation is it preferable to Wordpress?
