I thought that was the definition of hacker? I feel like hacker is a subset of good programmer.

In fairness, having similar culture within a company may not be a bad thing. Windows programmers and Unix programmers can both get things done, but put them on a team together, and ... well, I'm skeptical.

It's the problem with optimising on metrics. It seems unlikely that you would encounter someone who naturally reduced line counts while making code worse, but once it's being checked whether you're reducing line counts...

Of course not. That's the nature of perfection.

Side projects in this case refers to programming side projects, I'm fairly sure. Personally I'm not interested in side projects with hardware or physical components, but I've still heard of the Arduino. But that really says more about the t

When you've spent more time programming the feeling reverses, and visual structures become tedious. Because you know exactly what you want, and finding it in a visual environment becomes tedious. It's like smileys. In the beginning it may b

If you're asking about differences between pointers and arrays, one example is: int a[10] = { 7 }; int* p = a; assert(a[0] == p[0]); assert(sizeof(a) == sizeof(p)); // FAILS

I like the ff => ﬀ ligature that you've managed to paste from the .pdf. :) EDIT: I also made the mistake, but in their defence the between lists are used straight away: They're printed. But the code seems to do three unrelated things in

It's a tradeoff between readability for novices and readability for experts.

Descriptive names clarify what the code is supposed to be doing. Sometimes there's a world of difference between that and what it's actually doing.

I've been in situations like this. I'll give a simple rule set of some topic that someone hasn't quite managed to defragment in their brain (and thus know it as a bunch of rules and special-cases), and then they'll spend hours going "But wh

Because exchange rates and cost of living are two separate things. The Canadian dollar is worth 2% more, meaning for one Canadian dollar you get USD$1.02. On the other hand, stuff in Canada is more expensive no matter whether you're paying

I have to admit I've never seen a static site generator that supported contact forms. Perhaps such a thing exists, but remember that not everyone's using a CMS. PERSONAL OPINION DISCLAIMER: Because CMSes are terrible for small websites.

In the case that their mail-app is something like Yahoo or Hotmail and doesn't open on a mailto: link. So yeah. If mailto: is configured properly, it's better. Sadly, on many computers it isn't, and a contact form is sort of a "minimal but

It was pretty clear to me that it's a service that automatically turns your mailto: links into pop-up contact forms.

by qu4z-2 14y ago
I agree. It seems like supporting science through ignorance is missing the point.

When I was a kid my mother "decided" I was allergic to milk, and so I wasn't allowed to drink any. Milk ended up being one of my favourite things, in no small part because it wasn't something I could have whenever I wanted. Maybe it's the s

If I were in that situation, this by itself would be enough to make me do a chargeback. Possibly over-reacting, but I hate it when people use underhanded tactics like this, and I'd be ok with losing my other games just to spite them. Sadly,

I'm quite fond of muPDF, although it definitely leans towards the minimalist.

Better analog, start sending X-ACCEPT-NO-HEADERS: true or something in your request, which allows the responding party to omit headers in the reply (or not).

Interlacing usually happens in two-dimensions in image formats, if I understand it correctly (ie it first sends one pixel out of each 2x2 block). The only thing is I think that is one of the actual pixels, rather than an average. In an idea

Hah, that's very cool. I came up with this as an idea for a short story a couple of days ago (except slightly more drastically, as it involved the complete annihilation of humanity on a failure condition, allowing the practitioner to drag e

Knowing what's going on the world can certainly be important. I'm not sure the news helps as much there as we like to think. They do say that the difference between a man who reads the news and one who doesn't is that the former believes he
