Warmth is usually the result of the electrical noise generated by analogue gear. There are plenty of software processing plugins to simulate this, and they get pretty accurate, but it does amuse me that producers spend an inordinate amount

Everything available digitally has a weak dynamic range. Really? I can't find the figures right now, but as I recall the max dynamic range available to vinyl is about 40db whereas for a standard CD it's about 96db, so in

Nope. Maybe someone clicked the wrong button by accident. Or maybe they're just rude. I often find that many of the most interesting comments on this site are the most downvoted, so if I were you I'd take some pride in your downvo

Not speaking for the parent, CoffeeScript is even worse than Javascript. The killer for me is indentation forming scope. If you accidentally indent your code incorrectly, like when you're copy/pasting from one file to another, you

I agree entirely. I think the same can be said of iOS 5 as well, the way they finally moved away from skeuomorphic styling. I am really surprised to see such an information dense UI, and I'm actually quite pleased they've taken th

I think that you're describing a history that is very peculiar to the west. I don't think other faiths (even other Christian denominations) have this problem.

Not really. The existence of God is a given. Science does nothing to prove or disprove His existence and probably never will. We are constrained after all by the limits of our universe. The purpose of science then is to help reveal the mean

But I think there is a difference. IE6 was so far away from the standard that you had real difficulty supporting both, and really couldn't embrace a lot of features other browsers supported well. This was of course by design, intende

How is that radmuzom's fault? And more to the point, why should the web be inaccessible to someone a decade behind?

The topic of the OP was how safe are 3rd party libraries. Seems pretty on topic to me.

I can't speak about AOL because I never used it, but I imagine the parent is talking about how apps like Outlook killed email conversation threads. [Edit: apparently that's not what parent was talking about, but I'm happy to

The screenshot helped me understand what the app looks like and how it might behave. Not really sure what you're trying to say.

Thanks, I did see that actually. Obviously I'll have to try before having an opinion on how well it works. I did try sublime (an editor I really like) with the vi extension and found that, although support was comprehensive, there were

The other problem is that it's not Vim. I also have this problem when trying out any other text editor. It's actually quite annoying because every other text editor I try is often much better than Vim at everything it does

I hope that sample screen shot is not supposed to suck me in, is it? I think it's supposed to give you and idea of what the editor looks like. Do you find that looking at screenshots usually helps you evaluate programming tools

That's uncalled for. The upper classes joined the lower classes on the battlefield and shared their fate. WW1 brought about the near extinction of the British aristocracy. And I don't see that men in power were any more racist, cl

I tend to agree. I use Mac OS only because it natively supports Photoshop and MS Office and I may need to install these at some point. It also has first class support for the kind of dev I do (e.g. most other devs in my field also use a Mac

Ditto for a place where I used to work. Unfortunately for me and my colleagues, the reason for the high turnover was that they kept hiring good dev managers who all quickly identified the projects' major problems and set about trying t

I think this is a common attitude today in all walks of life. We seem to be incapable of thinking for ourselves now, whether when using a computer or crossing the street. I'm amazed that we're still allowed to drive cars.

Also CVs are often vandalised by recruiting agents. I'm considering starting a policy of swapping CVs at the start of an interview so that they can see the CV I gave to the agency and I can see the CV the agency gave to them.

Very true, but I've not heard any news that he didn't have the support of his employees, or that he wasn't inspiring confidence in them. His position was made untenable by the actions of people outside of his charge. I would

Keen to have an argument today? Someone I know had to move in with his family because squatters effectively made him homeless. It took months to get them out. It was a very stressful time for him. They also stole all his property before the

Yeah, I've tried to do all those things. And no, I haven't noticed that I can't go to town and by fresh fruit and veg from the market or supermarket for less than a 4-pack. Finally, a lot of poor people have 2 jobs or try

Yes. Try browsing the web without JS enabled for a while and see how many regular sites (not apps) just fail to work. And I don't mean a JS enhancement fails to work; I mean the whole site fails to work, or even load.

I have a very simple solution to this: website breaks and has no legitimate reason for using scripts? Good bye website. This works quite well for me as well. I found this was the case back when I was using Linux before Firefox was p

The justification is just .. dumb. Arrogant, unnecessary opening. Your reasons had better be good. First because the debate is over. Clearly it isn't. People want to build web apps, and they want to consume web a
