I've tried coding drunk. It was a disaster - even a couple of beers had me really struggling to produce anything worthwhile. I decided coding was like driving - you need all your faculties to work. [...] I've read things where people brag

A problem with sending a hash of the URL, is that you cannot canonicalize the URL on the server side anymore. A simple example: the hash of " http://www.foo.com/bar/ would differ from the hash of " http://www.foo.com/bar . I guess you coul

Your comment might be misunderstood. While Guava now requires Java 6 to compile, it is not required to run it. Guava is still targeting Java 5. You can use it by declaring a Maven dependency or by adding the latest Guava jar to your project

Yes. Passing Charset arguments as String not only forces you to deal with the checked UnsupportedEncodingException, but it's also brittle: it's easy to make a typo (is it "utf8", "utf-8", "UTF8", or "UTF-8"?) and get a runtime failure. Guav

The Chromebook has another advantage related to automatic software updates: by focusing on web apps, it ensures most apps are up-to-date (since web apps, due to the distribution medium, always use the latest version).

I think we are actually in agreement on this. It's wrong to punish people who genuinely thought there was a fire, or who relayed a reasonably plausible alarm without checking. My initial comment wasn't an attempt to totally rebute yours, an

I'm not saying it happens all the time, but it could happen, especially in a packed room, such as a theater. If death results from an intentional false alarm, I believe the culprit should be punished, and we should discourage such behavior.
