Don't forget about catering for the symbol formerly known as Prince :) No but seriously, names are horrendously complex, just as adresses are. But you might be better of ignoring some detail than trying to cater for every possible case

Too be fair, Hibernate was a whole lot leaner when Gaving was leading the project. And Hibernate was one of the first ORMs, so he was at least pioneering a field, even if the idea admittedly turned out to be less great than initially though

Heh. They wrote $400 million again. I guess $400 billion simply sounds too unreasonable to escape any editors spider sense.

Html used to have style embedded into it (blink, table, align, font etc). The idea of separating the style into a css file was born in a time when server side scripts were generating the html (hence the programmers), and the frontenders did

Eh, what about not relying on timestamps at all in distributed systems? Use lamport or vector clocks if you want a notion of time in a distributed system. This article makes me more reluctant to consider quasardb.

Startups are a bitch, especially if it isn't your own. You are essentially sacrificing your quality of life for someone elses dream. I was in a similar situation to yours, minus the suicidal part, but still really bad not going out for

Best thing I ever did to cope is that I started to deal with people instead of trying to avoid them. Take the discussion the first time it comes up. Speak your mind as soon as you are given a chance. Keep repeating yourself in meetings and

Lack of constraint leads to infinite search space. Sounds like constraint programming.

I actually think that this was a great solution. They wanted receipts and now they are getting them in their purest form. And the POS system won't even notice the difference. Smart, simple. What's really hacky about it?

None of the above?

I always interpreted the SRP in terms of how well one can describe the responsibility of the class. If one has to write "This class does x and y and sometimes z if w", it's got several responsibilities. If one can write &quot

That of course depends on the number of deps that you have, but you have to have a _lot_ to reach into the second range.

Soo... The police won't help you get your stolen property back and encourages you to drop the issue altogether. Doesn't that count as encouraging crime? I would hope that they would start taking the smaller crimes more seriously,

You can at least add runtime assertions automatically with jwtbrains annotation processor (maven plugin). I don't know about compiler errors,

But \w* matches "" and "abc" but not "!a". How can I test this with your tool if \w* always says "infinite"?

WoT and CA systems are both problematic since they can be altered on the fly and thus 'hijacked'. I wonder if we wouldn't be better of with something similar to what SSH does. Accept trust the first time and verify that the s

Why can I not match against "\w*" for instance? It just says "infinite" and does not seem to attempt to match.

I get really frustrated with the comments that say "but backspace doesn't do that when you're in a text control". To me thats completely missing the point. Can anyone explain why anyobe would make such a comment? Is it

They thought they could improve on Joda Time while at it. It's java.util.logging all over again (sadly).

With all due respect I must say that I find that you underestimate how much tests help. If I implement a network protocol I will make sure to write automated test involving clients and servers. Setting this up on localhost or on a virtual n

I see where you're coming from, but I don't really agree with your conclusions. Yes, authoritarian regimes will keep trying to subvert freedom and abuse friendly initiatives. But the real question for me is whether we need to list

No, I have no idea what it's like. But I can imagine that it's quite similar to being held hostage. Running away as a hostage might also get you shot. But that doesn't mean you should stay with your oppressors.

Even though this advice isn't something she might consider in her current situation, it might be good for her to hear it. After all, she's basically a hostage in this situation, and hearing people confirm this might prevent her fr
