Oracle forms vs modern web development is a little Off topic but I’ll bite. Could gmail have been built in Oracle forms, how about slack? How about Asana? How about an LMS such as blackboard, moodle, or D2L? Can you name any popular mains

Perhaps I am missing something here, but aren’t we are talking about the ability for a file browser to read a little bit of meta data out of a file? I don’t understand why reading the metadata of a file (even of an executable file) should n

Great question. My perception is that ‘guys’ is generally still perceived as gender neutral by people (except for those into feminist blogs), but sometimes I wonder. It would be good to have a proper answer to this question. How do we get

This will give developers leverage to ask for time to optimise, upgrade, and improve things they are not normally allowed to work on, as it will raise the discussion to the level of managers and the general public. However, do you think mor

Interesting to see the downvote. I guess there are some avid Anki users here. Leech management is ok, but I think active positive reinforcement is also necessary. Remind the user of how much they know as well.

Yes, Anki’s goal of “let’s quickly hide all the cards you know and only show you cards you are forgetting or on the edge of forgetting” has never seemed overly useful. The end result is the following algorithm: “let’s present you with the t

The danger is loss of police revenue. In Australia it’s illegal to use your phone to pay at a McDonald’s drive through if your the one sitting in the drivers seat. Even if the car is in park.

The NY Times comes across as snobby for trying to suggest which art should or should not be popular. Who are critics to decide what music (i.e. Kayne’s latest) or cinema we should want to watch.

Yes, I can’t tell if his page is an advertisement disguised as a blog, or if it’s genuinely meant to be a blog.

The heading/title should say: “We reimplemented reddit, but took out the feature of reddit that made reddit a success” PS: the OP’s site is now super NSFW. I assume someone is tying to prove a point :)

Im not sure I follow. Are you saying you don't understand why people who stare at letters on a screen all day every day for a living might have an interest in the fonts used on said screen?

Strawman logic. You might find some sources that say this but people involved in the science don’t argue this point at all.

What would break if at this point Safri and Chrome decided to go back to a basic user agent string and abandon all of the silliness? Do any important sites do sniffing in any important way? (I know I sniff for iPhone but that’s about it)

Could we update our open source licenses to have a clause that the software can not be licensed to (or used by employees of a company) on a patent troll register. (With a clear definitions of what gets a company on a patent troll register)

Considering that Dropbox appears to be a CIA tool to enable snooping on people’s computers masquerading as a file sharing service, I would be surprised if there is anyway to completely safely remove it at all.

Actually it does make a difference. If an employee accidentally commits a CSV file with customer private data, are you actually suggesting that it should not be possible to remove it? I disagree. The quicker that the personal data can be ta

The documentation makes clear, if someone accidentally commits something they shouldn't (i.e. a file containing your users personal details, credentials, etc...) then it is stuck in their proxy forever. It is clear that google employee

What do you suppose the source for crime rate statistics in Hong Kong/China would be? What do you think is the trustworthiness of that source? Given the answers to these question I am not sure helpful this analysis is.

Honest answer: it wasn’t meant to be an attack or some form of resentful comment but a comment about the business model. I worked for half my career in a worldwide top tier academic institution (non-US) before all of these political issues.

100% test coverage is not so valuable. But, I would argue that test coverage for the bits of complex logic that people are “afraid to touch for fear of breaking it” are valuable. Create tests for this code before you change it for assuranc
