I very often use and see "single" line of code flow onto more than one line for readability. So often a line break is definitely not enough.

I've rarely seen such poor code visually that it made it hard to follow - except in the rare case where someone commits line breaks incorrectly. Camel-case, underscores, indentation etc.. do not vary so widely as to prevent me from understa

These 12 points seem to be the most insignificant things you can think about your code. Indentation? Camel case? Come on... mastering WRITING code will not make you a good coder. It will make your code consistent, I'll concede, but there's

Wow I did not even try to do that - just assumed it was a screenshot. You know what they say about assumptions...

By the same token it would be a great way for new users to learn vim while maintaining the comforts of ctrl-c ctrl-v and tab indents etc...

At the end of the day Google is really not the company you have to be worried about - it's the ad networks. They are the ones implementing zombie cookies using the 10 or so methods of storage and the ones that directly sell your information

I cannot actually determine an answer. On one hand I might have spent an hour or two a week fudging around on it in the past but since Google+ I've found it has left a sour taste in my mouth and do not really go on that much - even if I don

It took me far too long to really start using vim. I have to say, though, that as an avid user now I find it really annoying to find dw yy p :q and :w in the other editors I have to use on other machines. It does take discipline, though, bu

I guess I had always assumed attacks were brute force input = output. But you seem to be implying that patterns would be looked for that would make the encryption/decryption vastly easier. That would probably be the piece that I wasn't gras

This may be a stupid question but considering if you have the key you can get the original data, where is the boost in security in AES versus a simple obfuscation using a key? Is it in the complexity and variations of the underlying algorit

I agree that rolling new frameworks/libraries out for the glory only is a terrible thing but they generally don't do much harm since the truly atrocious projects fade into oblivion. We can only hope at least one thing was learned from them.

What's the problem with micro-frameworks or libraries? I prefer to be able to find a nice, compact solution to a problem and be able to jump in any make any modifications I need rather than sifting though a behemoth. It certainly takes more

A majority of web-apps are forms, data storage and display. I was more interested to see what sort of problems people do solve with Big-O considering it's not something that you typically have to use when working with a majority of web apps

by methodin 15y ago
I imagine the intuitive, unconscious use of big-o is actually more beneficial as you can immediately identify problem areas without having to bust out paper for complex analysis.
377.
by methodin 15y ago
Interesting. So your use of big-o was primarily for an algorithm that ran on data after it was stored and/or used in real-time when fetching data? I tend to agree. Either I tend to do very simple input/output pages or very complex modeling

Ads don't annoy people, people annoy people. Would it be hypocritical if his company advertised to get customers? Where does the author think we'd be without advertising in terms of the internet? Very odd logic for not wanting to work at sa

The only thing I know for sure is it took me about 4 hours to write a concept Android app that used an existing app the market (barcode scanner) which I could interact with via intents. It was free and I can install the APK on devices witho

I don't get the fuss. It's a website that says "Chrome experiment" made by Google Japan in collaboration with some artists. It is clearly a promotional piece. The creators have every right to do whatever the hell they want with it. This has

An MVP doesn't have to remain an MVP, right? I would think the purpose of an MVP is to gain traction to be able to expand upon the core product.

I've always thought that Instagram was an MVP. I do not have an iPhone, however, so I'm not sure if the app itself follows that mentality or not.
