Well, it's possible an object was transmitted as JavaScript source (to be decoded using eval) before the JSON spec existed.

It's funny how many Windows users seem to think the PDF format is intrinsically slow, and all because of Acrobat Reader. Safari on OS X renders a PDF just as quickly as any other webpage, and always has.

That's a pretty bad comparison. The differences between VB and C# are much more dramatic than the differences between Python 2 and Python 3.

So if I accept pull requests without asking people to sign a CLA, what kind of ramifications could this have for my project in the future? Also, if the license says "Copyright <author> et al." (as many license headers do), does the

Mixed declarations and code are absolutely essential in a modern C programming style. It's all very well to declare things like "your functions should be shorter" or "you shouldn't use temporary variables in macros", but it's just not pract

Nope, I'm definitely writing C99, but it just so happens that MSVC is happy enough pretending it's C++. Definitely writing C99 in that I compile the exact same source files with -std=c99 -Wall -pedantic when using a real C compiler.

You're suggesting I write C89 in 2013 just to support MSVC? C89 in which you can't even mix data and code? I think casting void pointers is very much the lesser of two evils. And of course I can use MinGW, but that doesn't mean the majo

The stupid thing is that conditions are supported just fine in BSD make, but the syntax is slightly different than GNU make. So you're forced to write for one or the other, and GNU make is more widely used - so makefiles end up being GNU ma

At least in C, I like to line things up sometimes: void function_with_lots_of_arguments (int arg_a, int arg_b, int arg_c); If I was to use tabs and

I dislike Java to develop in . I don't dislike software just because it's written in Java, nor do I wish that everything written in Java wasn't.

And the fact that it's 2% rather than some fixed amount means that it costs established users more to post, and new users less. Which seems somewhat backwards.

Well, what do you expect? DRM? Whatever SoundCloud do isn't going to prevent someone from firing up Audacity to record their loopback audio device.

I know you explicitly don't want to play the "I'm a kid" card, but you're kind of doing that just by mentioning it in this follow-up post. I think 17 is probably the age when you just don't have that card to play anymore. I released my fi

This is very Microsoft-orientated. Even the open source software he recommends is Windows-only (Dev-C++, Notepad++).

I can't watch the video right now, and as a result I have no idea what this actually is (despite being able to read about all the features). Fewer e-mails sounds good, but it doesn't mean much to me if I don't know what the product is.

There is indeed a world outside of Linux and mobile, and most of that world doesn't have a problem working with C99 and C11. Windows is - as with many other things - the exception, and it's getting tiresome. There's no way Windows develope

I don't know, I find the solid kernel and userland combined with homebrew just as good as Ubuntu, and most graphical applications are a lot more stable and consistent than their Linux alternatives. I work on all kinds of things, and the onl
