I've seen this as a security issue several times, where older enterprise tools have embedded URL session keys (horrible, I know) or other private data, and act as the referrer to public sites. This either exposes more of these tools&#x

A repeat of the same idiocy; You cannot solve cultural problems with process or technical solutions.

The only justification for not using fixed static values here (ala enums - an enumeration of possible values) is the potential case of having values that are dynamic at run-time, rather than design-time. Being as that the article consistent

I grew up with this (actually have the box next to me!), PageStream for DTP, and Scala for video titling. I was utterly flabbergasted when I discovered DOS and mouseless PCs (back when we still called them IBM compatibles). Ah, nostalgia.

When looking at code, I like to separate design-time concerns from runtime ones. Tests are a design-time affair, and if you are substantially altering the run-time composition of your application to accommodate such things, the approach is

also, fwiw, irssi itself can be a persistent proxy, so you could just implement a native client.

right. I'm on android so not too familiar with the iphone's clients. It's just the simplest works-everywhere (mobile, desktop, laptop, etc.) scenario for me, and I'm in the same place, same windows, buffers.

screen + irssi? http is a less than ideal fit for messaging, especially when you're simply wrapping an existing protocol.

First: a time / value mismatch; students don't want to spend more time doing something, then waiting before they get feedback, and your PhD students are taking longer to crit, annotate, explain their reasoning etc. through an interface than

There is only only one motivation, ever. Actual desire. In short, these articles exist because people are trying to rationalise their way past the cognitive dissonance of wanting to want things, without being willing to actually change them

cough There are things like https://github.com/panesofglass/frack already. That's not the only one. This entire approach running on the stack and frameworks it can is a massive deal, and running silent at present.

yes, and we could continue into checking something is actually listening for mail there, etc. But you get my point :)

uh, nope. Email validation should check there's a valid MX record for the domain in question, and leave it at that .

There are a few sides to this one: On the practical, implementation detail side of this, users should have been allowed to remove the item. I'm sure the reason that didn't happen is simply because of the way it was implemented, and implemen

'Chief' is sort of redundant if there are no other 'executive officers'. 'Officer' too if it's just you. I prefer 'Director'. edit: as per https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Executive_Dir...

most of that is simple geometry (heh). The interesting parts creep in with the 'non-ideal' conditions. You're not just referring to the percentage of the surface area of a sphere (which earth isn't), atmospheric distribution isn't uniform e

The best place I ever worked at was small: ~7 people. We ate together every day. Every day of the week, it was someone's duty to make lunch. I mean that, make it. You started an hour before lunch, went to the kitchen and made a meal. Genera
