jQuery 1.x is recommended over 2.x due to lack of IE8 support in the latter. If you don't have IE8 traffic on your site, you can safely go with 2.x (which isn't that much smaller to begin with).

I find this entire debate absurd. Pragmatic approach would be to refrain from using construct that are known to be controversial. By controversial I mean "there are reasons to believe that under certain conditions this may be dangerous

Not very constructive but am I the only one who thinks that it looks like a giant lipstick?

It's a cultural thing I guess. I know some people who think of their maternal lineage as if it were less of a family than the paternal one. Their excuse borders religion and superstitions. I'm interested though which languages dis

Depends on your code. C isn't moving at the pace C++ is so given that most (all?) of the OpenBSD base is C and sh, LTS will work with base, no problem. It's important too that developers are rather happy with what C99 brings to th

That'd be true if it weren't for a bunch of external projects that OpenBSD uses or which are hosted as part of OBSD but weren't invented by the OpenBSD folks (tmux is one such example). It all boils down to priorities: if yo

At the same time you're not grabbing a local copy of The Internetz to search them and your searches are sufficiently fast. This is not a problem of centralized (from the point of view of the user of course) VCS but quality of a particu

This is not real life, this is a workflow, one of many. It happens to mirror mine though and, perhaps surprisingly, I can easily achieve the same workflow with centralized VCS by using branches. It would be a major pain in CVS but works jus

Sure, but he specifically mentioned studying historical sources. If he's into something like, say, what ARMA folks do with fencing manuals, we're not talking about looking at a bunch of sketches and having random ideas. Historical

According to Google [1] "300 million people active in just the stream" which means that either: 1) author is wrong, 2) Google is considering the fact of being logged into G+ and, say, using Google search counts, or 3) 98% of activ

By acting on his own fears RMS is hurting the project. World doesn't stop because he doesn't like something. It feels like RMS lost touch with reality. Companies that care for things impossible with gcc already use LLVM, and will

He lost me around 25% in. From "hey, this is my belief system and this is why I believe things" he got to "fear X, Y and Z, dystopia is coming!" One of the problems he mentioned WRT compilers (proprietary, closed source

EDN ain't half bad, true. It addresses some of the JSON shortcomings (like: lack of comments) and is still readable and easy to parse. And I have to agree with ASN.1 middleware - most of it is old and of low quality. But this can be sa

Linux the ecosystem is bazaar, sure, but Linux the kernel is cathedral with Linus at the helm. Arguably this is what makes Linux kernel so successful and so widely re-purposed yet most distros lacking in getting any traction. There's,

You never get to click it though, unless you disable "Google Instant predictions". But it's not the default on majority of the devices out there so it is in fact technically useless. But sure, it's a placebo and for that

Oh, he is from time to time, but it's mostly towards people from the outside who pop in at random and tell OpenBSD folks How Things Should Be Done. I get it that some people tend to think they know what's right for any and every p

Hostility of this article is staggering. I understand why she feels like that but I certainly don't think she's helping her case. I'm positive there's a rather hefty chunk of female population who'd read this and di

It's more nuanced than article or commenters on HN want it to be. If there's a constant communication channel between companies and there's a reason to believe that patch can't be created in 90 days, sticking to deadline

Sure it's doable. I wrote some DirectX apps in pure C back in the days. Heck, I wrote one in ASM. But it's art for art's sake. There's no point in complicating your life like that, especially not when you're working

VS is not designed for code base this size, because there aren't that many code bases this size out there. Same reason VSS ain't used for code versioning. Having said that - I don't see how having msvc build drops earlier tha

C++ code in kernel typically wouldn't fly for the new stuff, but I bet there were some legacy pieces, sure. But even then nothrow would be forced on new and prefast/prefix warnings around failed allocations would have to be handle

I'm not sure what you mean by "C++ object semantics" but COM objects are just objects, that I'm positive. My code was in .cpp file, not .c - that I'm sure of as well. This is why I'm saying that extensions seem

This doesn't look entirely accurate. My guess is that extensions were guessed when parsing symbols (which seem to be the source of this data). I'd bet that all of the things in minwin/kernel/io are pure C with upper laye

Windows doesn't use VS projects. Build system is (well, was when I worked on it) custom and utilized compiler drops from developer division[1]. If you take a look at the Microsoft WDK, you'll get an idea of how the build system wo
