These patterns apply to Javascript, which I wasn't expecting from the title. Mods, could you edit in "Javascript" somewhere in the title, please?

I'm aware of it, but I don't think it's perfect, at least not for one of the older versions of OS X which his computer runs. Moot point, anyway, he doesn't want me messing with the way he has his display set up.

But people's eyesight declines. My dad now puts his 27" iMac at 1024x768 because website font sizes are typically too small for him now.

"cons" is not just not a "reddit acronym", but is also a common term for "conventions" and "conferences" that has been in use for at least three decades. I haven't lived longer than two and a half but I wager it's older than I am. You're no

Phrased that way, I agree completely. An established codebase needs to be verified in some ways. But writing code and running it against tests is not exactly equivalent to TDD. TDD as I understand it is characterized by writing a failing te

Chris, you've jumped from Zoosk, to Formspring, to Amazon, to Etsy all in the period of two to three years. Maybe you've proven yourself resourceful enough at this point to not need the value it gives? (also, hi, former coworker!)

That's their right, though. The same process that allows a teen to invade a subreddit and fill it with memes is the same thing that allows anyone to invade a subreddit and fill it with their opinions. No matter how valid that opinion is, it

OS X has a BSD subsystem, but is based on the XNU kernel (Darwin). It's not FreeBSD in any realistic sense.

While I don't have personal experience with it myself, things like games lend themselves well to a limited use of OOP but also require performance-critical code and tight control over the language. With static analysis tools, I bet that C++

by koko775 14y ago
C++ gives you an insane amount of control, is exceedingly manual, hard to use, hard to learn, and you can easily screw yourself over by using it - but it gives you so much performance that it's worth the necessary expertise. Go tries to be

Not until you have enough that you're not clawing just to stay afloat. Until that point, stress and paranoia about job security are a pretty big deal.

Okay, now we're getting somewhere, but as someone who has used Java more client-side than server-side, I'm not familiar with the problems everyone's else been through. I would love for you to enlighten me, if you could! Also, what would you

The creator of slf4j and logback originally created log4j, so "Not Invented Here" is literally not true as the inventor invented those three libraries.

by koko775 14y ago
Specifics, please. I just implemented a logging backend for slf4j on Android in roughly ~1 hour with virtually no prior knowledge other than generally how to use slf4j and how to use Android's Log class. It just worked, and it was pretty da

by koko775 14y ago
SLF4J basically won, IMO. Barring extremely specialized uses, there's not hugely compelling reasons to use anything else than slf4j-api as the logging interface to your backend of choice, I think. So there is a good default choice, and the

Amazon may have been DRM free because the music companies wanted to hedge on a competitor to test the waters. Just FYI.

I see what you're saying and I think I agree with what you're getting at but to do so Netflix would need to build a radically different service and license it differently as well.

It's not that they haven't figured it out, it's that Hulu's average revenue per user earns much less than DVD sales or TV sales. Hulu, Netflix, etc. all WANT licenses in perpetuity worldwide. It's not they don't want to offer it everywhere,

Seconded. Any posts having to deal with entertainment media have proven to have armchair experts all over them, and few if any voices of reason.
