For fun I checked out the mixed-mode demo and navigated in the inner browser to the mixed-mode demo, then within that inner-browser I navigated to mixed-mode demo again. It kinda stutters as it first loads, but otherwise seems to work grea

In Chicago on very rare occasions when the train is running late they will have an impromptu "express" train where they skip the next 4 or 5 stops. They announce it so you know not to get on the train if your stop is being skippe

Adding a nonce to the request and storing it is a good idea to add to prevent replay attacks. Especially in the case of OAuth where some implementations hash the query string but don't hash the request body - which could allow all kin

I was going to say exactly this. Does anybody with a good understanding of monitor colors know why this happens & possibly how to deal with it?

At the rate Microsoft has been releasing open source code and porting .NET over, I wouldn't be too surprised to see Visual Studio geared towards cross-platform development. They did already launch "Code" which, admittedly,

The smoothed footage looks great. I'm excited for sensor technology advance so that we can have a global shutter (as opposed to rolling shutter) in our consumer devices. Once we have that, I'd imagine stabilized footage could be

As generous as that may be, is it a wise move for a CEO to essentially divest all of their shares in the company?

We use our version of SCRUM with pretty good results for our maintenance and small features. For large projects though, we wind up with a bit of BDUF just to get a grip on what we're building. That ultimately morphes into our agile p

Given all that Microsoft has been doing lately I'd really be surprised if this is all an elaborate ruse to squash node. Having been around when the actual "embrace, extend, extinguish" was running at full throttle, though, I

I was walking down Hollywood Blvd one day when they suddenly shut the street down for about 5 minutes to do a fly-by RC helicopter shot. This was a few years before lightweight drones and cameras were on the market and this helicopter remi

That's great, we have an app that can't be tested with Selenium, Sikuli looks promising.

"I don't clean toilets anymore, I'm in charge of strategic marketing now. I'll be taking this office" On the one hand, I can see this being the ultimate meritocracy. Perhaps the person cleaning toilets is actually

I'm only slightly ashamed to admit I like using a mouse. I get that some people can work faster with all-keyboard controls. I use both. I also like GUIs for certain things. The only thing I don't like GUIs for is when there is so

Same here. I basically get bored with most music fairly quickly so I'm always looking for something new. Most of my high-school friends are still listening to the same music from the 80's and 90's though!

I read an article recently that said something to the effect that most people stop listening to new music at age 33. I kinda feel the same about programming. There are a lot of people still doing it, but not as many that are truly excited a

Cool looking customizer - nice work! I created a super simple product customizer that allowed users to slap their logo on promotional products (similar to cafe press, but a few years before that). Even with that ridiculously limited set of

Before the days of GUIs when regular office workers used the command line, the database was an all-in-one application. Stored procedures were created by the DB admin so that the non-techies could run reports with simple commands. I've

It must be related to particular hardware combinations. We have 9 macs here of various ages on Yosemite with no problems. We had one machine go totally wonky for a while, but it turned out to have a bad memory chip (off-brand memory upgrad

I'm curious, is there enough released yet to build server-side web apps? Would there be an apache mod, or some other web server? Or is there something more akin to a node app? I really enjoy C#, but everything that I did was either a

Ah web-rings! I remember they were quite fun and interesting at first. I'd actually click from one site to the next in a ring to check them all out. Of course that was a time when there were limited numbers of sites for niche topics,

Seeing as how he is just finishing high school yet, I'm guessing he will have more code on his resume by the time he's looking for a job in 4 years. Although, with the speed of things, who knows what will be the hot skills then!

I have to deal with this too. Some people appreciate the freedom to come and go as they please and they will enjoy working. Others take advantage of the situation and don't accomplish their work. Dealing with the later can be frustr

It's been years since I wrote perl. Any kind soul care to comment some of this code? It looks like the logic starts at the bottom, but I must admit defeat in truly understanding how it works!
