Precisely. Furthermore, the older platforms have major problems with stream poisoning for HTTP requests, include an incomplete beta version of Apache's HTTP classes, have old SQLite libraries which don't support upserts, and so on.

It's not because design talents are focused on iOS, it's that design talents are focused on the Android users that are worth targeting. Namely, people on 2.1 or 2.2+. Android generally monetizes/converts worse than iOS, so those who want a

You're getting into dangerously ignorant territory with those words, and you haven't even done your research. Stop. That has no place here. The protest, by some accounts, was for the most part not violent. The violence that did happen was a

Run DNSMasq locally (as in, same datacenter as the computers that will be using it) and tell it to cache. It's dead-simple to set up. Then point your computers to resolve using it. You can even add to /etc/hosts and the computers using it a

I suggest you read this book: http://www.amazon.com/The-Clean-Coder-Professional-Programme... There's a social factor to being a professional too; it's not just raw programming skill or experience.

I don't think it's fair to say MariaDB is the only real option. The CTO of the company I work at seems to be a pretty firm advocate for Percona.

So basically, the Java strategy. Killing the alternatives through creating compatibility uncertainty. Oh, man. This doesn't bode well. I hope this drives developers towards using and improving Postgres, but, well, who knows. One can dream!

Me. I use Windows and Linux in addition, so a cross-system marketplace would have significant appeal to me. The MAS is mostly a dud to me, whereas I waste oodles of money on Steam.

Maven looks locally first, then falls back to the internet. You can insert your own package repository in between so you control the point of failure. Configuring Artifactory to work as a transparent proxy to take care of all of this for yo

by koko775 14y ago
Well, technically, it's good form to run with your own repository. It's not too difficult to, at a user level, specify a caching artifactory instance to hold these. In practice, as far as I've seen, one should specify the exact versions of

This is a fair point but an API is -always- going to be running in an ecosystem. If it's the Java ecosystem, not using a namespace flies in the face of tens or hundreds of thousands of people's conception of common convention. Which is most

EDIT: This is meant to be educational, not a rant. I'm hoping people take it that way. Maven requires a standard directory layout. Maven chose that hierarchy, because: 1) Namespacing. With tens or hundreds of thousands of packages out there

That clarifies that it's not a good idea, actually. A secure exchange would involve the server issuing a challenge, and the client producing a response, and not sending the key at all.

I would rather put my money on not threaded well. The application thread seems to get blocked whenever it's chugging on something important, which locks up the UI.

Disclaimer: I work at a legal online video streaming site. Jaywalking, doing drugs, and underage drinking are fundamentally acts against rules, not acts against entities. A risk is being taken and the burden of failure is on the risk-taker.

Probably never. NaCl lets you embed programs into a webpage, protected by a layer in between the OS and the actual code so that it can't break out and wreak havoc like ActiveX once did. So this means that any website could embed Ruby code (
