It is hard to justify unless you know you need it. IDEs get used on multiple projects. This license is per site. IDEs often have some kind of trial or at least you got to play with it on your friend's computer first. But "commerci

The talk says it doesn't work on OS X because of which versions of OpenGL are supported. Neil, is that just because you don't know very well how to use the particular version OS X supports, or are there critical features of your P

You mean Java. The JVM was a way to safely run arbitrary code in a browser, write-once-run-anywhere. It was too early to come with DOM APIs to interact with the page around it, instead being like Flash in believing that the useful interact

Could you implement that with a dot-clipboard script that looked for things that appeared password-like or username-like and then clears the clipboard after 30 seconds?

It sounds like Medisas is solving only a single problem while Epic, Cerner, etc. are larger solutions for the bulk of health record tasks. I would be more interested to know whether Medisas will integrate with these existing enterprise syst

by webjprgm 12y ago
Existing electronic health record (EHR) systems already have to deal with this. The ones I am most familiar with have on-site data centers, so it's not purely in "the cloud" but you can have webapps running from on-site serve

It does not miss it, just ignores it. The author states that there are lots of things we can improve but the point is that we have too many variations on the theme without converging to a solution that has few (or no) dependencies and comes

Is there a nice JS lib to detect and put up an unobtrusive hover-over popup in the bottom corner or something? Would that satisfy Euro law?

by webjprgm 12y ago
If the law says they can do it, and that's what they do, then they still have the moral upper hand over USA where the law says they can't or at least is gray area yet they still do it.

I am self-taught (Google) and have had success only with inside doors where the locks are cheaper. I've also just used paper clips which could explain my problem with front door locks. It also still takes me 10 min+. (And I've onl

I've had to pick a lock twice, once on a closet in my (work place) office and once on my sister's basement door. Both times I used paperclips for pick and torsion wrench. Very handy to not have to tear apart the entire door. I ha

Stack is traditionally accessible too. So you mean global/static memory? What languages would let you edit that? Can you get a pointer to it in C and change things, or is it stored in protected memory blocks with the program text? You

It might also work if the audition was applicable to many potential employers, like how talent scouts in sports and the arts go to events where the potential talent performs rather than having the person audition for each potential employer

Apple is very political. Look at where Tim Cook gives his support and money. It is very liberal and very Democrat. Some of these things are semi-related to business, like "green" environmentally friendly business practices. But no

I work for people all the time who have different political views than myself. They even are millionaires or billionaires who donate a lot to those causes. That does not make me ask the CEO to step down.

A cracked version of an iOS app? You must be jailbroken. Most users are not.

I generally consider PDF to be a static document, something meant to freeze the current appearance and layout as part of making it a final draft. Would I start to think this way about Word docs? Is that good for MS?

by webjprgm 13y ago
I agree with XDes that corporations like MS should make money. My negative reaction is that I do not like the subscription model for software. Perhaps that's what amaks viscerally reacts to as well. Subscriptions bleed money from users

The Hacker News link title is "this guy rebuilt Outlook in Qt Designer", so is the point that, despite this being a joke, the guy still used Qt Designer to prepare the mock interface?

Does Typed Racket have DrRacket support for instant feedback on errors? (It didn't 4+ years ago when I used Racket.) Typed Racket also includes more types, like ": Integer [more precisely: Negative-Fixnum]" (from docs), as we

This has long been true of Apple and ever since Apple acquired Claris Works I've made sure I can open my old files or else keep around some emulation layer to do so. (E.g. SheepShaver to run Mac OS 9 and AppleWorks 5 which could open a

I agree on the point of frameworks. I don't like any that exist so I made my own Rails-inspired one. Unfortunately this means I prefer not to do consulting jobs in PHP because it's considered bad practice to use a framework that n

I usually see arguments like this about language performance, but do people also argue about the difference from having a server process launch, configure itself, and stay open handling requests, like Ruby or Node.js, versus re-running init

A working web browser is hardly that important. If you just want web you can use any OS, like Linux or ChromeOS. If you want IE 6 for a legacy application that's a different matter. The browser is just another test case to see if Windo

So ... is this like Citrix + Windows? Replacing licensing costs of both Windows and Citrix would be a huge cost savings. It also would allow unlimited users. It says Thorium Core is a commercialization. But ReactOS is open source. So is the

Yup. Though I suspect my university's alumni newsletter also has tracking images in it. I haven't checked, but if I were them I'd use a tracking image.
