I'm not sure I would consider them power users but it's somehow expected because everyone knows how people can be adverse to change... (It's still fresh in my mind when everyone complained about the new Gmail UI or even G+...).

This is great news for people like me that continue to use Flickr after a very long time... Unfortunately the new UI reminds me a lot 500px which I think offers, at the moment, a much better community and user experience if one is really a

Living and working in the UK for over a year now as a Software Engineer in a medium-sized company I see this article as a bit of a shock because every month I'm aware of available positions (including graduates) for developers that "want to

Given that 50% of the posts talk about skeuomorphism and honestly I didn't know what it was, here's the definition from Wikipedia: "A skeuomorph, or skeuomorphism is when a product imitates design elements functionally necessary in the ori

I think you're absolutely right and it's not the first time and I'm sure it will not be the last time that a very verbose post (read well structured with references and mentioning technical terms) gets much more credit than it deserves. I

Are you serious? A well designed ecosystem is much more important than trying to increase the number of gigahertz/megaflops every release. Just because a corvette is more powerful and way cheaper than a Ferrari/Porsche it does not mean that

I'm sure this comment will be heavily downvoted but I read several times that FBI and similar agencies were 7 years ahead in terms of technology including security of systems. I didn't believe in those quotes and every time a situation like

There's no doubt that it's a very extensive book on software development and a very good one but I personally don't recommend it. If one really wants to know about software development, I find that it's much better to join an open source pr

I think I don't understand... On one side, you say that C isn't that complicated but on the other side you say you just use a small subset because you don't trust yourself and your colleagues to understand all the C quirks... I think C is c

Yes, my mistake. I meant UINT_MAX + 1.
49.
by matheusalmeida 14y ago
That is true but it's not the reason... INT_MAX + 1 must be 0 for unsigned int because the C standard defines wrap-around behavior for unsigned data types. Saturated data types are only defined in Embedded C. E.g.: Sat Fract

by matheusalmeida 14y ago
That would be true for unsigned data types. The C Standard specifies as 'undefined behavior' overflow for signed types. The C compiler can do whatever it wants...

One could comment the "very long command" with # and it would appear in the history... no hacks.

I have to agree with the author of the post. I had the habit of checking my personal email, read BBC to see it the world was not in war and checking HN while the project I was working was building (I thought it was no big deal http://xkcd.
