Theoretical physics is beset by a paradox that remains as mysterious today as it was a century ago: at the subatomic level things are simultaneously particles and waves.
Logging best practices [closed]I'd like to get stories on how people are handling tracing and logging in real applications. Here are some questions that might help to explain your answer. What frameworks do you use?
Most useful NLog configurations [closed]What are the best or most useful configurations for logging with NLog? (These can be simple or complex, as long as they're useful.)
Not an Expert in All Levels of AbstractionProgramming is not just writing code – it is working with a huge pile of abstractions. Starting from zeroes and ones, through processor instructions, memory addresses, low-level network protocols, data structures, up to web services, component frameworks and user interface.
Intention revealing methodsThe most important thing about any (without loss of generality) method is what it accomplishes or why one would call it, not how it does whatever it does. Here’s one example from Basecamp for iPhone of this.
The 10 Deadly Sins Against ScalabilityIn the moral realm there may be 7 deadly sins, but scalability maven Sean Hull has come up Five More Things Deadly to Scalability that when added to his earlier 5 Things That are Toxic to Scalability, make for a numerologically satisfying 10 sins again scala

My Bug, My Bad #3: Accidentally Attacking WarCraft 3In web programming, a classic mistake is assuming that you can validate data by asking the web browser to do it. That’s roughly what went wrong between Tinker and WarCraft 3. Years ago, I was working on a hobby project I later called Tinker. Tinker was a game hosting bot for WarCraft 3.
