Yes, I know. nginx is explicitly not designed for being an app launcher; I don't blame Passenger for this.

I'm cheerfully assuming that you're using distilled documentation and not the literal spec. If there is, say, conflicting documentation from Mozilla and Google, then we certainly have a bigger problem.

But you can also just use a data: URI with the entire document inlined—gross, but no moreso than srcdoc. Why is srcdoc any better?

The best part is that I'm an engineer, and a Linux user, and I still don't do all that because it's a pain in the ass. (But then, I don't use Dropbox either.)

Who, precisely, should decide who shouldn't get the same rights as the rest of us? Maybe we should have some sort of system to decide this on a case-by-case basis.

So do what the spec says by default (and if the feature appears to exist), and only deviate for particular UAs. Assume good faith.

Maybe sites would render correctly in Firefox if more web developers used it as a primary browser, rather than just for "testing". ;)

I thought the WSGI support for passenger was neat, and I'm glad there's at least one option for Python deployment with little server configuration required, but I don't use it because I don't want to bugger around recomp

That other comment was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek :) I wrote the "fractal of bad design" article, though, so your biting commentary isn't misdirected. But I stress that I rag on PHP in particular because I feel it does

I think you're confused. The huge problem is that other languages don't have anything for deployment that looks as easy as mod_php. And yes, all manner of professions grumble amongst themselves that newcomers are using inferior t

This is a huge problem, and has the added wrinkle that all the people qualified to solve it won't, because it doesn't apply to the stuff they're deploying and they're clever enough to not need it solved anyway.

Right, because we'd spit on it and advertise Rust or Go.

As I understand it, windows are responsible for drawing their own window decorations on Windows and OS X, but on X they're drawn by the window manager. So it's harder to mess with the title bar because you're starting from n

Whoops! I could've sworn that said "without", sorry :) Though I'm not sure `__slots__` actually saves any time, as it's really a space optimization. I've tried it before for hot code and even seen very sli

The attributes of an object (and its class) are generally stored in a literal dictionary, so it's unlikely that a class will be more performant. What a class buys you is behavior and a semi-defined interface.
138.
by eevee 13y ago
That doesn't explain the gap, though: the same class went from 42% women starting in 2000 to 30% women graduating in 2004. If 71% of both men and women graduated, there should still have been 42% women at the end.

If women are severely underrepresented in our field, then we're doing something that they find exclusionary. Does the work we produce have a similar problem? How would you know?

by eevee 13y ago
Or a lot of men transferred/changed majors into CS, whereas very few women did—which wouldn't be too surprising since the outreach was aimed at freshmen. Definitely an oversight in the article either way.

by eevee 13y ago
It's mindboggling that you can simultaneously call women children and assert that men aren't causing any problems for women. You're really focused on civil rights and the vote (like it should be impressive that those aren

Hey, it's your analogy. I merely concede that it's an excellent one. To continue it, I observe that black America also has the freedoms they fought for; is racism over as well?

I'm confused; where is the difference in revenue coming from if you're selling the same product to the same number of people on each platform?

Oh, I don't doubt that it's sometimes—or even often—deliberate. But if a UI is implemented badly, no one complains (because no one ever does), and the number of purchases/signups/whatever goes up, why would anyone bothe

I'm no fan of PayPal, but I interpret this as a reflection of the state of the banking industry rather than scummy behavior on PayPal's part. Cards skim a ton off the top and are generally designed to gouge the merchant (i.e. Pay

Many of these could just as easily be the result of really bad UI design, especially when there are "technical constraints"—the RyanAir example in particular reeks of an opt-out being jammed haphazardly into an existing form to av
