Reservior sampling does have legitimate use in monitoring: to track real-time percentiles (e.g. over the last 15 minutes), without logging everything and re-calculating on each new data entry. I do think it is important and useful to know about it, but probably would not use it for the database sampling (as it was in the article).
I think that a combination works best, but it looks like not many do a central SVN + local git setup. Any reason for that? Do you have bad time with that or what?
The central SVN is much better for tracking versions for release purposes, while the local git has all the benefits of working on one thing than switching to another.
Free trade agreement doesn't require negotiation: either you agree to trade free, or not. The so-called free trade agreements are about trade-restrictions and exceptions. Doublespeak at its best.

My experience is that as soon as I mention that I'd soon move back to my home country (in Eastern Europe), the conversation dries up, as 99.9% of the SV companies that contacted me are only looking to move talent to SV, and don't want to have remove positions.
This article feels like it is talking about the pitfalls of not using OO principles (e.g. types, encapsulation).
I won't shed a tear if callback-hells are replaced by proper async APIs (like in Stream and Future-based dart:async, or the Thenable in the new JS standards), but this article seems to be misalinged.
+1, paying 99/month for the first non-free layer of contentful is defintely not cheap, and the free tier won't get you too far.
Ideally what I'd like to see for a small team is to run a $5 digital ocean instance that does at least a mediocre job of managing assets in a database and triggering the static export of the site. Unfortunately I haven't found anything that a non-savvy user would consider as useful. Any idea for that (or alternative for contentful)?
Hungary does not start with "HU" in Hungarian (Magyarország). This logic is certainly flawed. We have standard international abbreviations for a reason, please use them.
