Well my point is I guess there should be no cookie set for the read-only experience. Once you do something that requires tracking some state server-side, then the session cookie might be set. For example if you are searching, or you submit

I am somewhat upset that Rails sets a drive-by session cookie when I visit a site with no intention of logging in or doing anything.

Why can't sites just provide simple cookie-less browsing experience, turning off their cookie-based features? Instead of forcing this click-through just to show the article, they should just show what they can in read-only mode (without sen

I now run Ubuntu 12.10, but installed Cinnamon instead of Unity. I recommend it. It installs incredibly smoothly and runs side-by-side with the other desktop environments you can select on "login" screen. Absolutely complementary: you don't

If you say that documentation standards are mostly bullshit, I will agree completely. It follows that documentation produced following the standard will also be mostly bullshit. However this does not mean that documentation in general is us

HFR is just a messenger. It's no fault of HFR if filmmakers don't know yet how to make it "cinematic". HFR is the future, it must be - and filmmakers WILL learn how to use it.

Well, first thing, in the Computer Science part of programming, the requirements are very simple and straightforward. For example, implementation of hashing algorithm or HashMap. You just can't compare the requirements of "science" part wit

Japan is overpopulated as it is. I fail to see anything wrong with population levels dropping, to some lower, sustainable levels. The low birthrate is caused by overpopulation: there's too little resources to give to babies, so it's impossi

I disagree with the point about 80 chars limit. If the line consists of boilerplate code, I will allow it to go over 120-160 chars most of times. The idea is to just get that code out of sight, as nobody should have to read it anyway. If it

I wonder if we all agree what "large programs" are. Our team, for example, we are developing a "large program" in Java (Spring, JSF). It's 13'200+ .java files and total 54mb of source code + about 90mb of third party .jar (open source) libr
