Aye, but on newer mac keyboards it lacks the symbol. So you have that funny symbol in the menus, and you're supposed to divine (you're a new user, remember) that it means "option" with no visual similarity.

I agree with your critique about the community attitude, so I sympathize with your position. However, speaking as a non-Haskell learner with a Haskell writing friend, I don't think it's fair to dismiss the notion entirely. Haskell

To argue the case of the middle ground, it's perfectly possible to give the impression of a well animated app without breaking HTML's layout and constraints everywhere. Simple, non-obtrusive animations can give your interface a to

I feel like the punishment should be appropriate to the crime though. Leave jail for the criminally dangerous, those whose freedom would be a physical danger to others. (Murderers, rapists, etc.) Fraud? If it's money that was gained, t

They can detect that a redirect has happened, but not the logic that determined which destination to display. If a redirect happens no matter what (this is very, very common for advertisement landing pages to track campaign visibility) then

For my actual day to day work? The latter, by far. I can get nearly all of my computing done comfortably on a raspberry pi. Most of what I need to do involves remote terminals via SSH, which I can run on any toaster. I do own a desktop gami

The most infuriating thing is that when logging on to live.com or its friends, they hook the tab key. When you type in your email, then tab over the next field, it redirects underneath you. This infuriates me. It also really screws with p

Isn't this against the EULA for Minecraft? I thought selling in-game items for real world money was prohibited.

I'm completely on board with ignoring IE at this point. Even Microsoft is through with it. With its declining market share and quickly expiring install base (Vista kicks the bucket next year, 7 in 2020) the benefit of mangling my codeb

This could not be more true. I'm of that very generation, went to an expensive technical school with no clue what I was getting myself into, and managed to flunk out in the first year. Never even considered that possibility, because hi

I don't think work ethic = value is ever going to go away to be honest. People will always value hard workers, and rightly so, because hard workers get things done and problem solved. However, I don't necessarily think that work e

Valve is very smartly building up a competing platform with Steam OS. Microsoft is trying really hard to position itself so that it can kill Win32; they backpedaled hard with Windows 10, but only because their own tech isn't there yet,

I think this is an amazing move for Microsoft. If they get the kinks worked out and get it working well on Windows Server, they'll have one platform that can run pretty much all the major enterprise software without virtualization. Tha

Well, consider that the conditions are quite a bit different. With conventional power, you have a small number of sources (plants) and relatively slow, predictable swings in demand. Things like temperature changes throughout the day, or the

I was going to make some sensible argument about the value of the lessons being exposure to code, and removing the black box of mystery that most gadgets are to kids. But then I read the article... what on earth is this guy going on about?

This, so much this. Let's not forget also that most ad blockers fail to block the best kind of advertising: curated, first-party advertisements that are delivered as part of the original page, and which read like the other articles on

They really shouldn't; I work in IT, and typically describe file sizes to my clients using the metric prefixes; if they're curious I'll explain the difference (1000 is actually 1024 at each level) but the difference is usuall

I'm of the somewhat unpopular opinion that "getters for everything!" is a philosophy that sounds good on paper, but results in writing a lot of getter and setter functions and feeling safe, while ignoring these sorts of traps

Really? This is an extremely easy bug to write, and given the way Microsoft APIs tend to work, I'd bet the layering of their code made it difficult to spot. You have a process that needs to work for, in its mindset, "all tabs,&q

Seems like a very simple expansion on this technique would be to keep a rolling framebuffer, and blend the last particle draw with the current one. This would remove the flickering, display the fake alpha properly for still screenshots, and

They aren't, but many browsers still display them, and last I checked both Firefox and Chrome animate them. You shouldn't use them if you can help it.

Because that's been done before; go lookup 10 GUI, and it will look remarkably similar. It's different from the accepted standard, but not actually a new concept.

I use docker to build a particularly complex (at least to me) NDS project. I do this because I regularly develop on Windows or Linux, so do my friends, and none of us have simple working arrangements. The toolkits for NDS are a bit of a pai

That's actually not always true. Any application running on node.js is using the V8 engine as it's serverside backend, and might thusly be affected. There are also a handful of applications that do clientside encryption. (MEGA com
