I think it would be nice to see commit messages at each stage too, which would be useful if the developer was documenting the purpose of each commit as they went.

If you can express your style in a way a code-formatting tool can apply, then you can use checkout and commit hooks in your vcs to apply the formatting. Code in the repo gets a team-standard formatting, and code in your working copy gets yo

Boston's Big Dig project was an incredibly expensive tunnel project. I'm not sure how much of the cost overrun was due to the terrain they were digging through. I think it'll be a long time before another major tunnel project will be approv

There aren't tens of millions of people living in the Channel blocking the path the train needs to take; digging the Channel tunnel was simple compared to putting straight rail lines between Boston, NYC, Philly, and DC.

I did the same thing in my first apartment, which I shared with two friends from college. My room was too small for anything but a bed and one wall was 9 feet, so I built a high platform for the bed with a lower 3' platform as a landing, an

He's got an electrical junction in an uncovered box. That's a fire hazard. And even if he boxed it properly (by removing the outlet box and replacing it with a junction box) it would be against code to plywood over the frame and make the ju

My source code editors rarely reformat my code to suit their tastes, unless I explicitly ask for them to do that. Configuration file editors will often reformat the output as they like, because "you're not editing the config file directly a

For HTTP, Fiddler is great too. It can already handle parsing a bunch of formats into an easier-to-read display, so I imagine it'll handle SPDY and WebSockets too if it doesn't already.

One drawback to JSON files, and XML files and a number of other text file formats as well, is that they allow variable formatting. That makes them difficult to work with using tools like diff, which takes away a lot of the power of version

You say you "generated" the clients. What happens when you need to change your services in a way that changes the WSDL? If your types or parameters change, your clients won't work anymore unless they re-read the WSDL. With Java and .NET, th

I think what lots of people are missing is that Websockets doesn't compete with REST or SOAP, it competes with HTTP. Until now, programs written in Javascript could only use one internet protocol: HTTP. Websockets brings low-level TCP socke

Every 1 second, this module generates a single multicast UDP packet, containing the number of busy and idle workers. The packet is a simple ASCII format, similiar to GET query parameters in HTTP. An Example Packet v=1&ready=75&bu

It depends on where the link is. If it's in a web page and the user's browser supported any valid method in forms, you could use a form with method="DELETE" and action="uri for user's subscription", with a submit button styled to look like

Thank you for this description. I've done a bit of Android work, but no iOS work yet. Most of my career I've done web apps, and my recommendation to my company is to do web apps instead of native apps for all of our mobile projects. You've

I'm not familiar with the Backbone code or config. However, it sounds like you are setting an argument by specifying a function name in a string. If you want to specify multiple functions, then instead of specifying them in a string I'd say

I pay $370/month to cover my wife and I, and that's on a company-subsidized plan. The actual cost is at least twice that much on a group plan. If you try to buy insurance as an individual, the cost is even higher. And my plan requires me to

Your problem is poor comments, not too many comments.

by DougWebb 15y ago
I see self-documenting code as another type of comment, not a replacement. The comments describe what the code is supposed to be doing, what business problem it addresses, etc, while the code documents how the code does what it does. Your c

It's tough to tell how RESTful your API is when it's wrapped up in a client-side library. One of the ways I evaluate this is to ask: if I'm using a compiled client-side language, and the service api is modified in a backward-compatible way,

That depends on the management. There can be an incentive for comment/code ratio, with tooling to extract and measure metrics on the comments to make sure they're not trivial. Another possible incentive would be based on metrics of diffs, u

That's not how security should work. The default should be no-access, so that missing a line of code or making a small mistake leads to too much restriction rather than not enough. That would also help the developer notice the mistake, sinc

See http://caniuse.com for specific features. IE9 isn't awful and IE10 will be better, but IE10, which will be released next year, is anticipated to have less support across the board than other browsers have today. That imposes a drag on
