> but you will need to first create a public IP resource, named myPublicIp, and a new virtual network called myVnet with address space 11.0.0.0/8, and a subnet with address space 11.1.0.0/16 called mySubnet

Am I mistaken or this is very wrong?

ziodaveon Lombok Saved My Ass

Lombok is a compile time library that doesn’t do any magic but replacing an annotation with fragments of code. It feels more like using macros which exist in many languages. And it helps in keeping the code readable and DRY.

ziodaveon Ask HN: how do you write Internet, with capital I or lowercase i?

According to Wiktionary [1]: "Usage in reference to the global network is normally capitalised, reserving internet with a lower-case i for any other set of computer networks connected by internetworking. However, popular usage (e.g. BBC and Timesonline) increasingly spells it with a lower-case i."

ziodaveon Rated at position #34 (after Scratch) is Scala really important?

ziodaveon Build WordPress plugins with WordPress Framework

It will include the files and create the class instances, and hook their methods to WordPress standard actions and filters based on the Xml configuration at each page load.

We still don't have performance tests, nor any code optimization. We could see however that loading ~100 classes via the Framework takes roughly 150 ms. (that includes the Xml parsing and the class loading).

This is still work in progress, eager for reviews and possibly people that might join the effort if they find it useful.

Thanks for your comments.
