Lots of doomsday scenarios can happen. Consider also that, as dominant companies see their revenue slip, they start cutting corners and get complacent with security. Yahoo is the prime example, I think. It was one of the giants of the early

It never ceases to amaze and frustrate me that often I can't even BUY the freaking DVD, or stream the damned thing because "they" decided to not release it on my country/region or decided to block my country from accessi

Could you please elaborate? I wouldn't say it is "wrong", but I skimmed it, and the advice seems either generic (organize your apps inside a package... like, duh?) or awfully specific to their own services. In particular the

So naive. That's not how you get support in this day and age. You get support by kicking up a storm on social media. Shout far and wide (twitter, facebook, reddit, etc) that [Big corporation] is screwing you. If you can give it some so

Well, since this discussion has already gone down the tubes, we might as well spend some productive time making fun of other DB names: - SQLite: SQL database with no sugar. Less calories! - MySQL: A selfish database. - IMB DB2: Released in

I think I understand what you are saying. I did not consider the overhead of the browser parsing the CSS file and then figuring out which rules are applied where and depending on what rules are being applied, figuring out what else needs to

My cursory reading indicates that with media queries, the browser is smart enough to only downloads the images that match the media query. So you could have media queries for small size, medium size and large size with urls pointing to diff

Not a web expert here, but don't CSS media queries and "background-image: url(blah/blah/blah.jpg)" already achieve pretty much all of this? With the advantage that you have attributes (background-size, etc) to handl

The last time the USA tried to build a ballistic missile defence system, Ukraine got invaded and split into two (if not officially, at least practically). Turns out that when big powerful countries start feeling a bit squeezed, they create

Many parts of the book are outdated, and some parts are just pedantic and outright trollish, but other parts still painfully up to date. For example, mandatory file locking. I bumped into this in a project once. We wanted to prevent concurr

Depends on the game. My experience is this: As a general rule, assume that there will always be a performance penalty. It will be good enough to be playable, but you'll notice the difference, and you'll have to adjust the graphics
