It makes no difference how prevalent they are in common web apps, the problem is that the Java plugin is still installed and active for a large number of users. This is not the attack sequence: * site has pre-existing Java * site

I just think they're redundant. Indention in non-Python code is 100% aesthetic; it doesn't affect program behavior, we just do it because it helps us non-compilers understand the code. And if you follow most any sane coding standard, indent

That's an issue you run into once, set your editor, and then never have to worry about it again. On the other hand, curly braces will plague you as long as you use C-inspired languages. An editor will only help you to more easily produce th

Tokens of a bygone era. I wish more languages were like Python and didn't require so many cruft characters.

It's kind of an extension of the annoyance from not using G+ and yet having it crammed down my throat; it's the same tactic just with a little less gusto.

So you concede there's lots of stuff that many of us won't use? That's pretty much the definition of bloat. Hiding it doesn't make it go away. I'm sort of just playing devil's advocate here though, since Chrome's "bloat" isn't an issue for

Because I've never used it and yet I'm hounded to "give it a try" on what seems like a weekly basis.

Oh wow, it has sync? I thought all of the proprietary Google features were kept in Chrome; I'm not sure how sync could've been implemented in an agnostic browser... Thanks for the further info though, it's been awhile since I've updated my

EDIT: Apparently it is official / sanctioned, thanks for the correction. PREVIOUS: Yeah I saw that, but that's not an official or sanctioned site or binary, and thus didn't feel comfortable openly suggesting it. There's no way to guarantee

They've gone overboard with their value-adds, and there's a non-trivial amount of features that are not required for simple web surfing: sync, apps (& background apps), cloud print, themes, phishing/malware detection, omnibox stuff, etc

Perhaps Chromium proper would be a good fit for you; it's got the polish of Chrome UI but lacks all of that crap that Google has started bundling with Chrome (sync, etc.). The hardest part is finding the downloads, since they go to great le

I don't it'll be much of a concern in a few years, though we're not there yet. Currently, Chrome will just gloss over any debugger statements unless the dev tools is open; if others happen to follow suit, then leaving a debugger statement i

Ok, I was thinking the idea behind this sounded a lot like the M.O. of Aspect-Oriented Programming, and it wasn't until I followed your github link that I saw that it was an "AOP library for JavaScript". Not to take anything away from Ragan

To be fair, that's a template you linked... Also, why go out-of-your-way to bash another project? Why didn't you link the hexagonal source you mentioned, which would have been productive, instead of lodash?

by k3n 14y ago
You read my mind, and I couldn't agree more; might as well call it hexagonal.cpp because hey, eventually it'll get run as C++.

Title is inaccurate and exceedingly sensational, and the article reads like it was written by a member of Sophos' sales team.

Possibly, but there's also a physical address listed on the WHOIS record, and if that is the actual address of the contact then it'd probably be tough to move forward on those grounds. But this is kind of getting into the entire CISPA issue

It's not moving away from, it's addressing shortcomings. As you should know, JS only has 1 type of numeric representation in userland, Number, which serves both floats and ints. Not surprisingly, operations with ints are much more efficient

Good point, but keep in mind that if they're a business, then the ultimate goal is to make money. It's kind of like the formula prescribed in Fight Club which refers to whether or not a car manufacturer will issue a recall: the decision wil

I have an aversion to hosting 3rd-party functionality on my sites for this very reason. They do not work for you, they do not answer to you, and their motives are usually quite different than yours. Thus, don't be surprised when they act to

Correlation doesn't imply causation. You can't honestly expect that John Q. Public is going to be as successful as a Chrome team member for getting a bug accepted; I've seen many of the bugs that get filed for Chrome, and I'd say a fair amo

One feature that I can see possibly being valuable here is the ability to filer, prioritize, or otherwise throttle the notifications. An example would be my usage of Google Reader; there's a Chrome app[1] that shows notifications for new it

That's the only way to go about it, IMO. It seems that in today's world, too many companies get a hair-brained idea from some executive that thinks they've got it all figured out, spend 100's of thousands building it, and millions to market
