From what I see, they didn't consider untruthy answers on what people voted. Not sure how relevant this is, but considering this year's presidential election's actual votes compared to surveys might significantly change thi

One single common method is enough if that's the only one used in said context. Sure, different types shouldn't use the same method name for different functionality, but it happens. And when such a scenario happens, I imagine it w

Consider the following scenario: You have a Toilet object with a method flush. var toilet = house.getToilet(); toilet.flush(); Now you find out that updating Toilet objects is somehow expensive and decide to wrap it into a Cache&lt

From what I understand, this is basically what happens for most online credit card payments. If you enter your credentials, you're redirected to a verification page by the issuer where you have to enter a password or SMS-sent key. On s

> It also makes writing and refactoring faster (don't have to think about the return types, just the code flow). I see what you mean, but isn't this one of the advantages of explicitly declaring types? If you refactor a method

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, I actually like both. It just takes more time to get up to speed and there is more surface of attack for devs to screw things up. That's also what I don't like e.g. about JS: It's so

When I started going into C# from Java a bit, there were two things slightly annoying me: - Class extensions: I saw code examples online that just wouldn't work for me because the compiler told me a certain method of a built-in class w

Google has a similar feature to give trusted people access to your data if you've been inactive for a given amount of time (so probably dead): https://www.google.com/settings/account/inactive

I received such a mail from Microsoft a few years back. It was something related to WP/W8 development with thousands or tens of thousands (IIRC) of email addresses in the "to" field, so probably all registered app devs. I tri

I was a bit afraid of smudges too, but it's really not an issue. Under normal conditions, they're not visible while the screen is on. And when it gets too dirty, a touchscreen is much easier and safer to clean than a standard one.

It looks like Apple is trying to find an alternative to touchscreens just because Steve Jobs once said they're bad. For me, touchscreens are perfectly useful on laptops, since directly tapping something is much quicker than moving my h
