No, the European Arrest Warrant requires an intent to prosecute. The specifics of the prosecution process (including how and when the prosecuted person is charged and what that means exactly) differ in each member state. As programmers woul

I really don't think that the Metropolitan Police is going to put officers outside the Ecuador Assembly 24/7 just in case Julian Assange leaves. It just doesn't sound like a good use of the officers' time.

Well, he did create CD Baby which was (and still is) a fairly successful company. And my understanding is that he wrote a fair amount of code there.

These arguments obviously only work for left-to-right scripts. For RTL scripts such as Arabic, you want exactly the opposite.

I'm not very familiar with how raising funds works so this is a genuine naive question and I'd appreciate if someone could explain this to me. On their "About Us" page, they say that they've raised $142M in venture funding. How much equity

No, they have killed them years ago but maybe this wasn't obvious up until now. It takes time to work out deficiencies and for the market to react. Remember this when the next time someone is arguing that even though Product X is looking le

Very confusing article. The article actually means apps using the Dropbox SDK, not Dropbox itself, yet it doesn't provide any examples. Dropbox is still available in the App Store.

Wouldn't this be better served by a downloadable SQLite file rather than a web service?

I don't think 'massively bloated' is a fair way to describe either jQuery or Prototype. Both of these libraries offer a lot. A better way to say it would be 'picked up some weight recently'. That being said, I agree that this would be bette

I believe that tail recursion is a more difficult idea than a for loop. Not much more difficult, but more difficult none the less.

Depending on the jurisdiction, it's entirely possible that a statute of limitations makes this irrelevant (in a legal sense). Obviously you still don't want future employers etc. to find this post.

I think of type systems much more as a static analysis mechanism the compiler can use to identify programming mistakes rather than a concept that helps reading or maintaining code. In my opinion, in well written code the types of various sy

Implementation detail. Apple sells iPhones, not ARM-based phones. They don't mention "ARM" anywhere in iPhone marketing materials.

I'm not super familiar with OCaml but I have written a fair amount of code in F# which is supposedly based on / very similar to OCaml. In the end I had to convert it all to C# because none of the others developer at my company could grok it

Functional programming is difficult and the large majority of developers haven't even heard of it.

I loved polymer technology classes and labs at university. It's an incredibly fascinating domain. If I have I stayed in mechanical engineering, I would have definitely specialised in polymers.

This is not relevant to SQLite, but depending on your table structure, the constraints, your data, your query and the phase of the moon, some database systems (Oracle and PostgreSQL come to mind) can generate much better query plans if all

FidoNet was network governed by a group petty, power-hungry and insecure moderators posing as lords of the manor. It was really, really sad. It worked well in the sense a prison colony could work well. It's a good thing that the whole thing

I think your theory is wrong. Specifically, I use Windows for work all the time (due to Visual Studio) and I never do the typing thing. I can't even remember the name of the applications I don't use often, but I remember the icon so that's

I really don't see how that would be a problem; it's not like anyone would doubt that Tim Cook is not worth that money for Apple or that Apple couldn't afford that money. I don't think anyone on the board of Apple would have a problem with

You don't need to download Safari on the Mac and Safari on Windows is, well, not the best experience ever so I understand them not actively recommending it.

He addresses your point in detail in the interview: C# is basically silent on the checked exceptions issue. Once a better solution is known—and trust me we continue to think about it—we can go back and actually put something in place. I'm

The site you've linked doesn't have any Google branding. Moreover, none of the real Google blogs have adverts on them. In addition, the visual design of the page looks rather unprofessional. It's very unlikely that this site is affiliated w

Apple will not pull non-sandboxed apps from the Mac App Store. They have previously communicated that existing apps will be able to stay in the App Store. They won't accept new non-sandboxed apps and they won't accept new, non-sandboxed ver

A timestamp and a timestamp with time zone are two different things and you need to use the appropriate one (which is usually time zone with timestamp). However, the argument is really not about attaching timezone information to timestamp w
