That's pretty laughable. What exactly prevents people from putting parsing directives in a special object key or list entry at the beginning of the file?
242.
by swift 13y ago
That's pretty ugly in practice. A better solution is to use YAML for things like configuration files. It's more pleasant for a human than JSON would be even if it supported comments, and there are nice parsing libraries available
243.
by swift 13y ago
It simplifies generating JSON, since you don't need a special case for the last item, and it simplifies editing it, since you don't need to do something special when adding a new item at the end. I can't see any benefit to n
244.
by swift 13y ago
This is what I do, but it basically just has the effect of making the first item special instead of the last. That's usually better in practice, though.

I have to take issue with your inclusion of "Modern C++ Design" in a reading list about learning C++. If you're new to C++, that is exactly the sort of thing you _shouldn't_ be reading. "Modern C++ Design" is r

I read this comment before actually going to the site, which is fortunate, because I'm certain I would've missed the rest of the content if you hadn't pointed that out. I rarely complain about design issues on websites but th

Honestly, this is pretty similar in effect to a UITableView-style wrapper, except that it's handled automatically by the platform. Sophisticated JS-only webapps are perhaps a different case, but a site that consists primarily of HTML a

I agree that the GC is a bad fit but I don't see any reason to believe that the interpreter is a particularly bad thing to write in Java. Can you elaborate on your reasoning?

My experience was a little different. Nobody I know thought that you didn't need copy and paste or MMS messaging. The only case you mention where I saw a lot of koolaid drinking is multitasking, and that's probably because there

I don't know that I'd characterize this as a workaround. Infinity.js is definitely a good approach, but you should expect good baseline performance from the browser even without more complicated techniques.

This looks great, and I encourage you to keep working on it and make this a reality. I've thought along the same lines and I think a language like this has real potential. I'm pretty surprised I haven't seen J. Paul Morrison&

In the case where you view a direct link to the image, Safari, Chrome, and now Firefox will all display them with the EXIF orientation respected.

Only on the iPad, where they're both using Apple's iPad version of WebKit. This isn't standards-compliant behavior. I had no idea that there were any browsers that actually did this!

There is zero chance that client side verification is the only thing that will be used to authenticate purchases. Presumably the fingerprint is used to unlock your saved iTunes/iCloud password, which is then sent to Apple's server

Apparently AudioBus has already been updated to be interoperable with inter-app audio: http://createdigitalmusic.com/2013/09/audiobus-for-ios-7-upd...

Uhh, "classical OOP". Like Smalltalk. What C++ calls "OOP" has its place, but it's not the same thing.

This is a good concept but the execution needs some work. I'm confused that everything is visible all the time - if that's the case, why am I clicking on things? But clicking on things seems to be necessary to 'focus' on

I've started to use relative line numbering (numbers.vim is highly recommended) and that has made me use 'j' and 'k' in motions quite frequently. I wish I had made the change earlier!

1. Don't see the appeal. 2. Definitely agreed. 3. "readConfigData >>= openDBConnection" can be used in a simple case like your example. Cases with more arguments can use "ap" or "<*>", which ar

Post-C++11 you can work with strings at compile-time using constexpr template functions. IIRC you need something along the lines of this: > template <size_t N> constexpr foo(const char str[N]) { ... } The fact that constexpr string

Perhaps surprisingly, while it's technically true that Haskell is a newer language than Perl, the difference is only three years - Perl dates from 1987 and Haskell dates from 1990. I wouldn't put it in the same bucket as Go, which

I'm not sure what you mean when you mention DAWs based around programming. Are you referring to things like Reaktor, Max, and PD?

In fairness San Diego is a very different place from, say, San Francisco.

Are San Diego sidewalks private property? In most places I've lived they belong to the city.

I didn't have the same experience you did. I saw a lot of dislike for the skeumorphism in earlier versions of iOS both online and in real life, even among Apple enthusiasts. Speaking for myself, I was really impressed with Windows Phon

As another commenter suggested, I suspect ClickToFlash or something similar would help. For comparison, on the same version of Safari, I have more than 50 tabs open in several windows and Safari uses about 3% CPU in the background.

That sounds like a good approach!

I'm not sure what the best operator would be for my suggestion, but after thinking about it '/' would work well since it calls to mind the idea of navigating a hierarchy. 'Shortcat/comments' feels nice to

Amazing. This has instantly become a must-have utility for me after trying it out for just a few minutes. Easily the best new Mac utility I've seen in a very long time. I noticed the mention of the "regions" feature in the RE
