There are UX problems with the Chrome style, though. Many, many times I've debugged issues developers are seeing because they thought they had closed their last incognito window and then opened a new one, but there was another one minimised

Bear in mind that making sure requests for static content don't send cookies is pretty far down the front-end optimisation ladder - there are normally a lot of things you can do first that are quicker, easier, and have a bigger impact.

I figured it out! The name of the thief was "James Sanderson", whatever you do do not start a company with this person. And if I'd ended the post there, you might have actioned my advice. It's terrible that this person has lost out, and mor

I would be extremely wary about taking someone's word that someone else did something criminal, with zero evidence to back it up. What if this author has lied to us and you then refuse to hire "this guy" based on those lies - I imagine he w

PHP is a good example as it is very hard to remember all its functions, as it uses a mix of naming standards. (For example, the case-insensitive version of strcmp is strcasecmp, and the case-insensitive version of strstr is stristr) Wheneve

Yes, I am. I got confused over what you meant by " It will warn you if you use any >1.4 features" - I thought you meant language >1.4, not bytecode spec >1.4. Thanks for setting me straight :)

Yes, I thought that most of what the article stated was well supported, but they made a leap from "people are more likely to leave relationships that aren't that great" to social values suffering. I'd rather be single than trapped in a marr

It was news to me that Java in general ran so well on the Rasberry Pi - I'm quite interested in getting one now!

Bytecode is not made incompatible with every release, actually - for example the generics added in 1.5 use type erasure, and so are a compile-time-only feature, leaving the bytecode still compatible with 1.4 JVMs.

I use HotSpot and JRockit. There's performance differences between the two but I've yet to run into something that works on one and breaks on the other.

Absolutely ridiculous comment. You added nothing to the discussion and gave no justification for a frankly ignorant standpoint. I can speak for two of them: JRuby is an absolute godsend even if you aren't massively interested in Ruby - Java

I agree with the opening but you went off the deep end afterwards. Bulk cold emailing is spamming. There's no way to dress that up. The linked article is talking about taking the time to create a personalised message sent to just one person

Adblock can do them too! You can either add them manually or subscribe to a filter that has them all already - I use "Fanboy's Annoyance List".

Personally I use LucidChart, mainly because it actually just works better than Visio for creating flowcharts (the connector reflow logic is nicer).

I hate it on smartphones too - it has the exact same issues on them as it does on the desktop. Scroll down a few screens on Facebook, tap a link, read it, hit the back button - welcome to the top of the feed! (This isn't an issue if your ph

Are you sure the comment didn't have some curly brackets in it or something like that?
805.
by ZoFreX 14y ago
That's easier to explain though - you are passing the arguments {a b} { } # and some_proc to the procedure some_proc. Because comments are just another command, the # has to be the first non-whitespace character on the line.

You might want to look at grid systems - there's a lot available and they're generally quite small, but also add a lot of value. If you really want to make from scratch you could make your own :)

Ugh, what a hassle. My bank only required the card reader for potentially harmful things, like transferring money to someone I've never sent money to before. If it asked me to use it every time I logged in then I would change bank.

How would it provide lots of info? Without any data on which program they were interacting with at the time, I'd have thought data on the mouse movements would be fairly useless?
