For those who are wondering what this refers to, it is writing code like this: "foo".equals(myVar) instead of writing: myVar.equals("foo") which could can cause NullPointerException if myVar is null.

Ask HN: What tools do you still run on DOSBOX and why?

Isn't that the right DOSBOX behavior? I think it should maintain the original aspect ratio as it looked in the old CRT monitors. I remember drawing circles in CRT monitors on IBM PCs and the circles did look vertically squished. Why sh

That's not how I see it. Yes, the employer (the organization) may be psychopath but I am not interacting with an organization while having a difficult conversation. I would be interacting with a manager or a colleague or someone who re

Does AsciiDoc have a nice way to ignore all LaTeX code enclosed within $...$ (inline math), $$...$$ (displayed math), $...$ (inline math), and \[...\] (displayed math)? I think one of the problems of Markdown is that it does not provide a

Wow! Can you share your story more? What does your application do? Why did you choose BASIC 35 years ago? Did the question about rewriting it another language come up anytime? How did such discussions go? Do you enjoy writing BASIC code?

Any recommendations for introductory text for writing compilers and interpreters?

Exactly! This looks like an apples vs. oranges comparison.

Is there anyone here who still writes code in BASIC? If so which interpreter/compiler do you use?

Similar topics are coming up often on HN recently. I think it's time Markdown should be supported natively by browsers. Until then, there are things like: TeXMe ( https://github.com/susam/texme ): This is my persona

When we go from 2 pairs of rabbits to 3 pairs of rabbits, we see a brother and sister rabbit mating to produce a pair of offsprings. This does not sound realistic and could also be disturbing to kids. But for some reason, I have seen this e

I have a similar but simpler setup. The crucial difference in my setup is that instead of using full blown LaTeX, I use TeXMe -- https://github.com/susam/texme -- which supports Markdown and LaTeX. So I write plain tex

I can read color hex codes just fine. In fact, while writing my CSS, I often have a shade of color in mine and I just go ahead and type out its hex code by guesswork and then fine tune it by changing the R, G, and B values. I am not colorbl

That's a very odd thing to say. There are so many security professionals in the world with LinkedIn profiles.

Omitting braces for single statements is quite idiomatic in the C development world, whether we like it or not. If we don't trust ourselves that we wouldn't make this kind of mistake, use the right tooling: 'gcc -Wall' (
