   Thanks for the reply. I certainly know where I can get such information, but I think a project's README is a great place to have at least a single sentence explaining what the project is. Moreover, I suspected other HN readers may al

   There are some use cases where record-level self description is very useful. For example when dealing with small records in a database or NoSQL store or message queue that could be written by multiple versions of applications. To cover th

   Does IntelliJ IDEA have an equivalent to Eclipse's Call Hierarchy view? It allows me to select a method, and get a tree view of code paths that call into it (recursively). I use it all the time and couldn't find it when trying t

    I think the simplest thing is for the server to generate a salt for every user and add a step for the client to request the salt for a given user. If you want to protect against account enumeration then you need to be able to generate cons

    Totally agree that any shift in the tax liability is significant. But people seem to be discussing many other consequences now: Does this mean the end of Yahoo? Is it being acquired? Are they shutting down Flickr or Tumblr? Why would this
