It's an intentional exploration of the concept, from TFA: "... thus bringing this absurdist tirade to a close and showing the law for what it really is: Propaganda codified as law." The clue is in the "absurdist tirade&q

Why not just fork the W3C's specifications, and pressure FireFox and the makers of other browsers & rendering engines to never incorporate DRM? My personal issue here is that it seems that W3C is going against it's own founding principl

I would argue that in this case, the author is technically wrong with his argument. You do not need to know the entire history of the foo object, only the intrinsic state and the arguments to the current method call to determine it's behavi

I really wish automated testing was significantly better for Java and the ilk. To steal from the Haskell world, I want to augment JUnit/TestNG with Small and QuickCheck. The tests would go something like this: 1: SmallCheck exhaustively tes

I would argue that an ORM does get in the way in a good way. A decent ORM can do things such as extra full-text indexing behind the scenes (Thing Hibernate and Lucene) to provide a much better search over almost any database. You only have

I attempted to replicate this (attempted being the operative word, I could've been doing it wrong) with Ubuntu 11.10 and a GB keyboard layout. It didn't seem to work. Key combos: Ctrl+Alt+* (num pad) Ctrl+Alt+Shift+8 Both with numlock on an

It's a common theme in mathematics to show an equivalence between two structures. We don't do it because it's fun, it's because if there exists an equivalence or some other relationship, we can use the existing body of work in one field in

I can't remember who said it, but "If you can write a compiler, you can write any program." Hence, I'd get compiler books. Modern Compiler Implementation in Standard ML, SICP has a couple of sections on compilation, there's a computational

The Xbox (bar it's heating issues) is a damn good product. The advertising still has a little way to go, but over all it's a nice package and it is a good user experience start to finish. Similarly, C# is a nice language, but I'm not (perso
