I would think flashing the caret is sufficient, but I may be biased by experience and good eyesight (for now). Given the number of people responding with how they used to lose the caret before, it seems that my experience is not universal.

I hope so, I'm not in that stage of my life yet. Right now, I fear that having children will just completely kill my ability to do anything as a hobby. I'm not sure how justified that is, but it's how I feel.

Don't you feel a little sad when you vaguely remember those days? I'm only 26 but my memories about those "golden days" are becoming harder and harder to find. I got an N64 at the age of 10 when my brother and I got &quo

I agree that not all examples are good, but how can you defend the blue text/red caret? There are also quite a few genuine design errors (Z index of updates available, alignment in the timer, ...) on the site.

The fact that they're not represented in this letter doesn't mean they don't have these complains. They may not have voiced them, or voiced them privately or elsewhere. If I write a blog post about how I feel I'm being e

I agree, but many programmers start programming to make games. If that's still what you want to do by the time you graduate, that's possibly a dream you've been working on for 10+ years. If you're offered a bottom-level

Exactly. I remember a greater inbalance in the Call of Duty series, where marketing dwarfed development. I can't seem to find the source though.

I don't know about Rockstar, but from what I've heard from game developers from big studios, they're driven like slaves. Crunch time, unpaid overtime, wages that are not paid on time, etc etc. It's easier to be on time a

Useful to know, but it's still an easy and efficient way to reduce load from static elements.

That's what I used it for! Of course, I never published anything worth getting Slashdotted :)

This requires Javascript though, and its operation is way more complicated. It depends on peer-to-peer delivery, which is pretty hard when most users are behind NAT'ed routers and proxies. Furthermore, you need quite a few concurrent u

Same here. CoralCDN has been around for ages, I've used it to auto-mirror images and other static content from sites to reduce bandwidth consumption. Works really well.

I was (much like the author) always interested in getting an island (still am.) I also gravitate toward Canada when looking for an island, because you can get fairly large islands for much less money than lets say in the Caribbean. Of cours

The fact that there are more people living in South-East Asia than anywhere else is a little less astounding (but still amazing & unbalanced) if you take away the deformation of the Mercator projection. Large areas like Canada, Scandina

Can someone knowledgeable about security tell me if there is anything about their claim (98% in one round) that is exaggerated or "best edge case only"? I wonder how these attacks would fare against NaCl[1] or Sodium[2], who were

Are you aiming for the "at least one commit per day", or did this happen naturally as you worked on Open Dylan?

Why not show "popular" photos more often, with a little footer at the bottom "picture might not match the saved person", with the rest of the information be accurate. For me, the fact that it would save more lives would

This contradicts chatman's comment at the top, who claims a trie has poor locality. Since you have some experience with tries, do you have an explanation on how to implement tries with good locality properties?

Overall this is a rather poorly written article, with little or no meaningful information in it. I think the odds that this Nestle boycott (that I've never heard of or noticed before) would transfer to Android KitKat devices are pretty

Or a person thinking "I want a cheap iPad for the kids", but either way, those people are less likely to buy a Surface, so your argument makes sense.

I agree, and it had a great soundtrack. In real life, it was a silly death though.

It's conceptually simple and produced great results. I agree that it might not be the most effective solution there is, but it seems like it was the most effective at the time (which is why they were used).

This is what I took from it as well: simple solutions can work really well. We shouldn't always try to tack on the fashionable and new pieces of tech to make something work when we could keep it simple. On top of that, I learned how to

While it's bad for you - you had to spend a lot of time and effort on integrating - perhaps this experience can be shared with the Qt WebEngine people and improve their effort?
