is it still a smart move to choose cloudfare considering the recent accidents? the prices are low and you have the guarantee they will not disappear in 10 years or sold to an ad agency (see Gandi).

P.S. i'm interested in users with their own website for personal use

I find fascinating the contributions to computer science by jewish computer scientists [0]. They really pioneered the field, especially cryptography, where they seem to dominate.

Is this a cultural thing? I'm not aware of any other field where a group of people has contributed as much as jews in CS.

Many developers spend a lot of time "sharpening the axe" for the alleged excuse of increased productivity. At what point this actually causes the opposite effect?

I'm proposing this question since I've come the realization that your tools aren't as important as the internet people make it believe, at the cost of countless wasted hours.

Sure, I may be faster than average at editing code and I can customize any aspect of my programming environment, but what if the time spent learning this knowledge was invested in actually useful knowledge.

Do you know any practical books that show how to implement a parser starting from a CF grammar (preferably in C)?

All compiler books lack the practical part. I would like to see how to build a LL parser algorithmically in a language like C that doesn't abstract things away (I could use OCaml but I feel I wouldn't learn as much since it's so high level).
