I am constantly amazed how mods can find a duplicate I could not, and I consider myself a fairly savvy googler. Edit: Instead of forcing RTFM on every new user, I don't see why new users should not have immediate tryout without reprocu

Sriracha is the product brand (e.g. Mountain Dew). Huy Fong Foods is the manufacturer brand (e.g. Pepsico). But like kleenex and saran wrap, it has become a generic term. Sriracha is a proper noun, but is slowly becoming a common noun.

Even JavaScript, which is much maligned for it's poor implementation of dynamic typing, has clear rules for type coercion. In the author's example in support of "Variables should not be allowed to change their type," the

I don't see how you can experiment with functionality by writing tests at all. Tests are basically just pseudocode. It's writing the requirement/interface before figuring out what is possible. For example. I was recently tryi

I know TDD has been discussed to death. However, I disagree completely with TDD encouraging creativity and material exploration. In my opinion, small, iterative increments are much more useful. Creating a test puts a tight box around how yo

Go further. All things behave this way. You were compelled to comment given your current circumstance, your particular makeup of cells and electricity sitting in your chair typing, blah blah blah. The beaver knows it's building a dam i

Seems like there are couple things going on here. Accusation that asynchronous implementations in all languages are problematic, with which I don't think anyone would disagree. Suggestion that threads are way better than other asynchro

I disagree. Patterns are often just used as a way to work around the limitations of expression in a given langauge. Sure, they can be useful. But in the long run, they are not the goal, they are the unfortunate means to an end.

I think you're right, the author doesn't cover those collaterally affected by secret information. However, this is outside of the author's main point. The author is focusing on the principle privacy is not just about secret k

I think the author is advocating that those scenarios should converge. His argument is that second scenario is an anti-pattern and should be corrected to be more inline. It might be a pipe dream, but it's still his perspective.

Semantic nonsense.

Reading/writing and comprehension/composition are the same thing. The author is just attributing specific meanings to those terms to draw superficial semantic differences. Reading is just another word for comprehension. Only a nar

I'm not sure I agree. A visible logo/brand being itself an advertisement maybe a side-effect of the logo/brand being prominitantly displayed, but I would argue that it is more identification than advertising. The difference b

I would generally agree about the origin of noises and their alternate purposes. However, I would also suggest that it is a very strange, unearthly, or extrordinary phenomenon to have such a massive and fast-moving thing traversing in such

Hologram/holographic is already a word. It has a very specific meaning. It is not a new conjured word like Walkman or Iphone, which were just one implementation of a portable tape player or smart phone.

I think it's not "fuck privacy", but merely realizing there wasn't really privacy to begin with. More like "privacy is an illusion".

That is not providing information about how to protect against the vulnerability regardless of a patch from Microsoft. Full disclosure is the only way to go.
