I agree with everything you're saying (though my favorite is probably addresses containing newlines). My point is just that in practice it's not terribly useful, e.g. why HTML5 defines its own: https://html.spec.whatwg.

I remember reading about some framework which was doing something nutty like embedding actual data in the comments on a function, and then parsing out those comments at run-time. For what it's worth, I believe it was on HN and in rel

1. Functions which are "longer than they should be" decrease code quality. 2. Measuring the "number of lines per function" is extremely easy. Code quality tools have a bad tendency to equate (1) and (2) for the same reas

He should have been told regardless. I can totally understand, sympathize, and even potentially agree with an evaluator not wanting to deal with sloppy handwriting, but a context-free failing grade is just totally unacceptable.

Anyone using DNS search lists to have localhost resolve to e.g. localhost.example.com would potentially have problems. Obviously this is a pretty weird thing to intentionally do, but it currently gives you a quick way to get around certain

I think this is also an argument with potential (at least when presented as here, i.e. without excessive reference to WannaCry), but I think you need to either have a decent amount of affirmative evidence against him having sold Kronos or t

As someone who's not sure where I stand on this, I feel like Hutchins supporters are doing themselves a disservice by overly-conflating this with WannaCry. I think there's potentially a good argument to be made along the lines of

Firefox tries to minimize breaking API changes, but there have certainly been plenty of them. While avoiding API changes presumably made the switch to multiprocessing more difficult, it didn't stop it; they made the switch. The funda

For this to be taken seriously, I think you need to demonstrate that you're capable of using WebRTC to do what you need. Without a decent nod in that direction, people are going to think that you're just not aware of the potenti

EME removes much of the cost associated with adding DRM to content in exchange for increased portability of content that is DRM'd. This doesn't seem like a good trade-off to me. Yes it's only for "media", but once i

The are many things which are difficult to measure directly, and thus people tend to use indirect measurements instead; school-learned math is full of such things. Consider a fairly simple example: "What is the factorial of a number?&q
