Using a content-type header instead of .json or .xml (etc) extension in the URL is just another example of this phenomenon. There's a reason people are moving to use dot extensions in URLs - it's easier to adopt and…
Funny - when looking at a codebase for the first time, I do almost exactly the same thing as described by Mr Seibel: I start rewriting it. I rename functions or methods that I think have poorly chosen names, I rename…
While powershell is a valuable and interesting option, the problem with it is that it changes the basic metaphor. For 40 years unix shells and their descendants and derivatives including cmd.exe have used files and text…
Yes, it's different. UnxUtls gives you grep, tar, tr, gzip, and etc. Clink appears to give you shell command completion and history completion. They are complementary.
Coders talk too much. They are in love with themselves. Did you ever hear a cabinetmaker talk about all the considerations that went into the new cabinet he made, how he did the planing just right to hide that knot in…
Thanks for that, that was fun. Who here coded a solver into the game that used the quadratic formula? I tied it to a particular key and it would momentarily, almost imperceptibly flash a correct solution on the page…
That headline ought to read "Voyager reaches beginning of interstellar space". The interstellar space is the space between solar systems, so it would be impossible for the craft to reach "the end" unless it exited the…
Today's embedded is not tomorrow's embedded. In 10 years your sunglasses will have more compute power and memory than today's smartphone .
The OP seems to be very willing to draw general conclusions when none are warranted. When faced with a project in which code modularization was a problem, his proposed solution was to port the code? Seriously? Port…
People suggesting that Go is a potential replacement for Python, Lua or Ruby are missing the point. IMO, Go isn't designed to compete with those existing languages for existing opportunities. The key opportunity in the…
This is pretty typical of the series. There are 3 or 4 drivers to a car for the Le Mans race (24 hours continuous racing). Two or 3 of those will be professional drivers, and one is a rich amateur who brings money.…
> Note: In the hours before our presentation/release, Google pushed a new version of reCAPTCHA which fully nerfs our attack. I take it that "fully nerfs" means this defeat of recaptcha is no longer useful?
