+1 for indicating what type of regular expression it is. Also, this would be a very useful tool in a Formal Automata class.

I think the entire point was that the author was - and is - neutral to the brand, and that the only reason he picked the theme was because he liked it. Presumably like-minded people, such as myself (I actually love the theme), will be encou

It would probably be better for usability to just have the tool on the front page. The first two steps of the tutorial - "Enter your text." and "Submit to Nitpicker." - will already be clear to anyone who has used a few web forms. You could

Mainland China would most definitely not be happy with this label. The government that was exiled to what we call Taiwan considers themselves to be the legitimate government of China. The mainland government considers them to be illegitimat

You could probably factor exceptions 1) and 3) into the rule too! foo(); 1) What's left of a bare function call is nothing - except for a blank line that leads to the top indentation level. In other words, what's left of it is

This, and the ability to add or remove 10 seconds from the current time (while it's on), are the two main features I consider indispensable on a microwave apart from the time entry.

Java was influenced by Objective-C. First-hand evidence: http://cs.gmu.edu/~sean/stuff/java-objc.html As it turns out, Sean and Tom are both absolutely correct. Usually, this kind of urban legend stuff turns out to be completely inaccura

I normally would not make a comment that adds nothing to the conversation, but I feel I need to in this case. If you are one of those who reads the comments before the links, a warning: This does not have much of a point. It goes on forever

I should hope it would include very paranoid and redundant safety systems going up from sucking in dust to cutting at high speed with blades, and that it wouldn't learn to override them! That's more about implementation than idea, though.

I often cite this as one example of how I find the Android interface more efficient and usable. "Go back" applies intuitively to such a broad range of apps, and benefits enough from a constant, ergonomic placement and tactile feedback, that

Obviously as unpaid volunteers they're not obligated on any level to be polite, neutral, and professional. But that's not the whole point. There are two ways to deviate from a neutral, professional presentation. You can be snarky, mean, or

Final Fantasy XIV did this very well in my opinion. They designed for the economy right from the start, and everything revolves around that (and the amazing graphics, music, and exploration), rather than spells, grinding, and raids.

Did you try out the interactive part (by clicking "Begin")? The greying is a cue that the right column is actually the presentation itself. This is probably a good argument for using more nonsensical lorem ipsum text.

This is a well-written article, but it seems to me like a lot of words to say, "The association with other high-frame-rate media made me uncomfortable and the movie harder to sit back and lazily process." The author says as much in several

I don't think comments are any kind of substitute for clear, well-structured code. In your example, "Detect collision" still doesn't give me any kind of epiphany about the code. At best, it gives me a slight hint about where to go to get mo
