Agreed. The biggest thing I look for when interviewing new developers isn't "how much do you know about X framework", it's "could you implement all of that without the framework?". Knowing bootstrap won't

What I think is interesting here is that Neovim is entirely contrary to the original point of Vim, as presented in the article: a vi available on non-Unix systems. It was portable, so it could be run anywhere. Now Neovim's selling poin

A) You should stop the condescending attitude towards Apple's users. It doesn't help anyone you influence anybody's opinion. B) I believe Dell's sales volume is heavily inflated by all of the government and school contra

XPS has been heavily recommended for a long time, but dell does still have a stigma and I personally had a hard time finding a way to actually BUY one when I looked. Lenovo lost developers trust years ago when they started pulling stunt aft

There's a difference between poor design and performance optimizations. Lacking any information, I'm inclined to commit an appeal to authority and guess that it's probably a performance optimization.

This sounds like a massive invasion of privacy, to me. It also sounds like a great opportunity to drive customers further away when you contact them based on that information.

I'm not disputing your claim, but EA does have plenty of games on Steam, they just aren't publishing any new ones to it. http://store.steampowered.com/search/?publisher=Electronic%2...

Are they really, though? If you've put in the effort to learn Vim's command system (big if there), then they provide mostly the same things: - heavily centered around document editing - encourage plugins over embedded features - v

Can someone answer me why anybody outside his friends and family would be at all affected by this? He was a chef who created a popular dish. He didn't change lives, he didn't make some grand contribution to the world, why would an

These days a lot of companies will have production systems launch from a configuration that is known to work as expected already, via QA processes. It'll be launched and configured with tools like chef, puppet, docker, and other buzzwo

To be fair, they didn't literally incorporate Joda, the new library is "heavily inspired" by it. It has way fewer classes, organized into a very sensibly named hierarchy.

Out of curiosity, what does the kernel consider 'the end of time'? Int 64 maximum?

Not sure if it's what they meant, but the boundaries move, so the timezone you store in a location today may not be the one that it corresponds with in a year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_Indiana

The point he was making at the start is that it didn't matter that jQuery solved those browser incompatability problems (so did umpteen other libraries), it succeeded because it was easy to get started and build on. The problem being s

Yeah, to be honest, "topless female nudity" was not the phrase I expected to see.

I'd imagine you could mitigate some of the risks of making it publicly available by integrating with Keybase and allowing users to specify what Keybase id's should be allowed to access it.

I don't think the suggestion was that the policy is created because the data is going into sql queries. The policies are often in place because the people in charge of the policy flat out don't trust the developers. Say the policy

I think it's also worth noting that the word 'promiscuous' already has a history in computers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promiscuous_mode And this version exactly fits what he was trying to get acros

He didn't say 'whore', though, that's the point. This person inferred 'whore' from 'promiscuous'.

As of right now, the exploit still works on Facebook. The article links to the example there.

Having worked on that sort of process many times, I'm of the opinion that a message queue is the ideal solution there, not a database. If you're storing the data for the purpose of processing it again later, it should probably be

That particular class of error is caused by bad application programming, not the actual database.

Ah ok, when I think of a cookie cutter house I imagine neighborhoods where every house is the same with maybe an extra gable on some of them. Little boxes, and such.

Slight correction (that seems to be divisive on the issue), McMansions are generally characterized by not being cookie cutter. A neighborhood full of mcmansion's does have the distinguishing feature that each one is different, but th

You're looking at it from an overly pessimistic perspective. jQuery didn't solve any new problems, there were tons of libraries that solved the exact same problems in different ways at the time that it came out, like MooTools, Doj

Conversely, in many windows apps, ctrl+y is the 'redo' command.

Yeah, i've found that my heavily unit tested code is often my best code, simply because designing it with that in mind yields the simplest, smallest units. If I know I'm gonna need to write a unit test later, I'm much more in

I think what he's trying to say is that if you find yourself with problems that none of the senior people have had to solve before, it's very likely that you are modeling the target system as the wrong problem. As a strawman examp

I'd be curious to see a graph of active users as time goes on. Anecdotally, I've noticed they have been losing a lot of users in the last few days (myself included) who are fed up with how absurdly buggy the game is (especially th
