But at some point you need to have the code on client side to get the code in string format, doesn't that give away how you've stored the code in the image?

Wow this is quite stupid for this application. When I read the title I thought along the lines of compression by 'solving' the sudoku.

This bugs me too. I really don't want to subject myself, the team or my company to such arbitrary judgements. I wouldn't want the money, suggestions or control of an investor who liked the company because of what I wear or the buzz words I

Whoever is skilled enough to hack into some computers at a nuclear reactor facility must also be clever enough to not give itself away with a childish prank. There are many better things they can do than playing music. I'm sure the story is

Very honest and clearly written article, thanks mst. I'm truly puzzled by how popular stereotypes are in the western culture. I mean what does someone job/hobby have anything to do with their everything else? Let's just stop here for a seco

I'd admire someone who would be reading 'Secrets of the Millionaire Mind' or similar titles. For some reason, if you are already a millionaire then a lot of people start admiring you and carefully taking note of everything you say and every

I'd love to learn Dvorak but the problem is not all computers are easily configured to Dvorak. Then when you have to use someone else's computer you'll look like an idiot or have to ask them to install/configure another keyboard layout whic

Can it be easily extended to add new editors? Perhaps you can let the users submit packages for their favourite editors...

I think it's a great idea. As much as I like the old-fashoined hacker style of HN. I think with a community filled with many who are spending days and nights making fanciest websites we deserve some fancy features ourselves. I don't mean vi

I think the advantage of OO is that is transforms the code into something that is closer to the "human" interpretation. Modelling the problem like we have it in real world. Instead of thinking like a computer, you can more easily think as a

Good lord thanks for pointing that out. Kudos to him to have come up this far but that's certainly one team I'd not leave my passwords with.

Psst...they are using ROT13 (but don't tell anybody).

From a purely scientific view, OO is a terrible idea because it moves the program further away from the mathematical form and makes it harder (if not impossible) to say, logically prove the correctness of the program. But from a practical p

Absolutely spot on. It really bugs me how much all developers around the world have to suffer because they have to go to great lengths the stretch this framework to do things that it was never designed to be capable of. I think Zed Shaw als

I don't know about the nature of the problem you were working on but in my experience there are some cases where the problem is far too complicated to be fixed with debug print statements. I couldn't live without my debugger.

I'm a hardcore nerd and I spend many hours with a text editor during the day. Yet I find vim beyond my nerd level. I just can't be bothered with fiddling with config files and installing little bundles and packages for every functionality.
