I don't think the intent is to flag up invalid syntax/usage, but to make sensible guesses about what strings should be highlighted, to aid readability. There are few cases where having wchar_t in any code snippet would not indicat

It's a noble idea, but the site has some significant usability issues. I would recommend the authors test it out on a mac with a touchpad

Wouldn't it be great if Apple sued the FBI for details of the exploit, for public interest reasons

When I stayed there, it was just as soul destroying to use these things as you might imagine. The implementation felt like they'd asked a VB6 dabbler to implement it in Java. Then stuck it in the cheapest 600mhz tablet they could find.

It wouldn't work /for you/. But for people who do answer their phone, it would add protection.

I agree with you, in principle, BUT there's always a tradeoff to be had. In this case, I don't really see it. As a typical user, I never want my favicon to be more than ~1MB. More interesting effects may be done, but can be done

The body for the majority of favicons should fit into a single tcp packet. Adding the overhead of chunking is completely pointless. Partial icon streams have no use to the client, and given the server should almost certainly have the enti

Op suggests 5mb limit on Favicons. Assuming a 32x32 pixel display size (retina). That's 1k bytes per pixel!

Actually, there are situations where this approach is very useful, and there /is/ a need for additional complexity

It's actually a reasonable app deployment mechanism for systems where you only have regular-user access. You can bundle up a compiled app, dependencies, and settings, and have a single, repeatable, easy to deploy build. if the system

User testing is great, and very useful for so many people. BUT, when you're the size of Google, or Facebook, or Microsoft, Things look a bit different. Most people are far more conservative than they realise, but also, perversely, adap

In which case, the remote desktop approach should not be allowed either. If you're going to have arbitrary "You can't use the software except at this location" clauses, then they should be applied consistently

The thing that angers me about this, is that the user could legally access this software from his Laptop, albeit over an inferior third-party interface. His choice was between accessing the software over a display proxy, and accessing the s

Far more lucrative, and easy to screw over customers, become a supplier to the kickstarter projects, rather than start your own KS. Naiive business people who have suddenly received 100,000s in capital are the easiest to con

Re 2) I've done this a few times. The trick is to ignore the detail of the spec, and understand what they actually want better than they do. If you get that right, then the actual coding becomes insignificant, and everyone is happy

That's just not the point of this article. Basically, my takeaway from this is: if you /can/ avoid the complexity, by dealing with absolute relative timings (if something takes 2 seconds, then it takes 2 seconds, even if one
