I think the most amusing case of UTF-16 considered harmful would possibly be the choice, in WPF/Xaml, to use UTF-16 code point offsets to reference positions in XML strings -- while supporting UTF-8 XML encoding. It can…
What has me confused is how these automated take downs, without automated appeals, don't constitute fraud. I can't go down to the local county courthouse, spamming it with grossly erroneous and frivolous claims…
Midwesterners consider those vegetables. Not kidding. Ask for a "vegetarian option" and they might hand you chicken.
Which is a good thing, because just about every language sucks, but some languages realize it less than others. :-)
Yup, I've seen this as well, way too often. Rather than a function, you get a class, rather than arguments you get constructor parameters, and then the get stuck at what to name the method that actually does anything.
I suspect it depends on the rationality of the parent you're speaking to. As a parent, that wording sounds fine to me.
Yeah, there's also "an excellent opportunity arose," and "time for a new challenge," or "looking for a bigger/smaller, riskier/stable team/company/toaster/product.
Ditto. Also, from previous managers they may have learned that criticism, even constructive criticism, is a great way to bag a negative performance review. Such effects need to be accounted for.
Not really; it's clear from Asimov's story that the question is about a closed system. The abstract for the paper you cited implies the led was externally heated, acting as a thermo-couple. The closed-system efficiency…
Publishers are keenly aware of these effects in print media. It's chicken and egg. Until there's a large enough market, they won't care. Low quality negatively influences market growth.
As others have already pointed out, you don't need to compile from Latex on the device. The formats already have support for passable typography. Publishers aren't making an effort to use it.
Yeah, the publishers are mourning the loss of "hardcover edition" in the ebook format. That's where they make their mint. I'm hoping that they will try (and catch on) a ebook+hardcover release model. After all, people…
The paperback managed to put the hyphen in the right place. At least it's making an effort. When was the last time you saw paperback had an out of place hyphen just because that's where the hardcover placed it?
This is especially true when "iSomething" is free. A lot of folks will want to 'buy in' to the software, out of guilt or gratitude, so will pay for "iSomething+" even if the delta is trivial.
Yes, it is.
Clever and confusing are not necessarily mutual exclusive.
"using the current version and the updates provided by Microsoft" If you have a current, up to date version of IE, it's not version 6. We've been trolled by what is clearly some sort of prank.
This! We started baby sign and could communicate these basics with our daughter before she was a year old. It might not sound like much to start communicating 6 months earlier, but I can only describe it thusly: awesome.
So long as the motion blur is a small enough angle/translation, the difference is only in the shape of the blurring kernel. The kernel will be circular or gaussian for out of focus, while a line or arc for motion. In…
> context menu that's difficult to access with the keyboard Hmm, I guess you're right. Without the dedicated context menu key, you have to use SHIFT+F10. That's a pain.
Or, more accurately, the IP address it resolves to. The ISP is primarily in the business of moving IP packets; domain names do not appear at the IP layer. (they also provide DNS services; they could disable resolution…
Pardon, I don't know Clojure inside and out: are namespace significantly better than packages for the purpose of macro hygiene?
My personal favorite is the "at least one capital". I've taken mnemonics with a large subset of the asciibet, but I can't memorize case well. So what happens? Every password begins with one capital. "Ehsiwvky" instead…
