It is recruiting, but it isn't just recruiting because it's explicitly targeting employees of another company, often a competitor.

Adding "He had no malicious intent" would serve to make the asker's intention more clear, but still wouldn't add much to the discussion because it had already been established. I don't think asking why should be dis

I've used GNU/Linux for around 3 years. The only way I could even consider using Windows again would be with cygwin. The programs I use on a daily basis don't have easily available counterparts for Windows. It very much goes

It seems like Jolla is going for a combination of #1 and #3. They're aiming to be compatible with existing Android hardware, they've made it easy to preview their OS on existing devices without making the switch outright, and they

Be careful with this kind of thing. You're inadvertently making the FP community look bad. A more constructive and less pushy approach would have been to recommend an enjoyable FP language and explain why you think it suits the parent

The compatibility with Android apps mitigates this to some extent.

Coming back to Firefox from Chromium was a wonderful experience for me. The majority of extensions I used on Chromium were inferior to their Firefox counterparts, due largely to limitations of the extension API. Aside from that, load speeds

From the passage, it seems that Frank Herbert did have writer's block and chose to write anyway.

Why not? I find it to be fairly pleasant, albeit unnecessary.

Firefox has looked awful on Linux for a long time. I'm excited to see a consistent design on every OS, and I've been primarily using the UX build for months. A lot of people say this looks a lot like Chromium, but I don't fin

I'm pretty sure the others were posted in response to Coin. I'm also entirely uncomfortable with the notion that some problems are less real than others. Problems will have different levels of severity, but one problem doesn'

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this. Hopefully we'll begin to reach a point where tabs are used and sites like GitHub adjust tab-width according to the developer's preference.

Agreed. That's the purpose of the --help flag and equivalents.

While it's true of some languages, it's certainly not true of all of them. I'm not sure most is accurate either. JSON is a subset of JavaScript, so it stands to reason that JavaScript could have as many indentation levels
50.
by nsmartt 13y ago
I've always been conflicted on this. It's simply untrue that more than 3 levels of indentation indicates bad code. For example, HTML, XML, and JSON often benefit from deeper levels of indentation. Tabs have the benefit of having a

The best argument I've seen here is that methods should be black boxes. Comments should reveal the input, output, and side effects of a method. There are two compelling reasons for this: - I can add to my own code, even if it's ye

The extension is unnecessary for syntax highlighting. Shebang lines are supposed to be used for detecting the file type. As for knowing the file type at a glance, I'm not sure how often I need this. I'm normally looking for the fi

I haven't used ST3, but ST2 doesn't build based on shebang lines and won't hide the menubar on Linux. I'm sure there are many issues I've forgotten since moving to vim as well. I can definitely see the argument that

The cost of wearing a helmet is very low compared to the gain of having been wearing one during an accident (which could very well be caused by someone other than the cyclist).
