Indeed, I only use UML for documentation of existing code. Having a standard allows for consistent reverse-engineering, and a class diagram is still the best way to visualize an OOP class hierarchy. Keeping them up to date with the code is

Sorry for the downtime, took me a while to correct the post. It's now up again. As some commenters have pointed out I had a stupid bug in my sample code where I misused the static object creation counter as an object instance identifie

It's something of an article of faith that front-mounted teleconverters are worthless. Well, they really aren't... assuming you are ready to spend enough money and accept some vignetting. Also, you might want to use a tripod!

Is that for server-client or fat client applications? For the latter, Java today offers the WebView class (part of JavaFX) that's simply an integrated Webkit browser. You can build your UI for HTML5 and easily hookup with the main Java

That's a great article, and the sequel on "Goldilocks" languages like Lisp & Julia appeared last week as well: http://graydon2.dreamwidth.org/189377.html An overview with excerpts also just appeared on Lt

The original headline ends in a question mark, cites one person from Twitter who claims a 2004 (?) conversion, and still provides no explanation why any government might possibly want to serve TrueCrypt a warrant, given that they don't

My use of the term "holographic" was taken directly from Ng's dissertation, near the end of section 3.7: "...Camahart showed that holographic stereograms can be synthesized from light fields." Whether he's stri

More surprising to me is that a stable third of Democrats and independents don't believe in evolution, either.

Further clarification: The manifest is the same you'd use for native applications. Microsoft automatically enables DPI awareness for WPF because that framework scales all coordinates automatically with DPI settings. WinForms doesn&#x

Windows has offered 200% scaling since Windows 7, and made the option more obvious with a new radio button in Windows 8.1.

by cnahr 13y ago
Microsoft has addressed it since WinForms 1.0, except that it's unfortunately not automatic. You need to include a simple application manifest that enables the dpiAware flag, as described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com&#x2F

It seems to me that stack ranking can only work for companies that are so attractive for new talent that any new hires are likely to be more valuable than the lowest-ranked current employees. Once a company is no longer so attractive, as se

I'm thinking of what the article said, "doing a good job for Microsoft's shareholders" as Ballmer claimed. He did in fact not do that. Please look up the share price, it has been flat below $40 during his entire reign. A

The premise is wrong. Ballmer grew Microsoft profits but he did not maximize profits for Microsoft shareholders. In fact MS share price was famously flat for far too long, and jumped 8% when Ballmer announced his resignation. It's Appl

When I recently tried to purge my server logs of referrer spam, I found that a whopping 80% of all visitors had either no referrer or referred from my own website. About a third of the rest were spam. So judging from my small sample, referr

Not really, no. Most people post a couple of times and get few reactions beyond one-liners, if that. Over time, fewer and fewer people who aren't Google employees (1) bother posting anymore. Picture posts get by far the most +1s and shares.
