The evidence that they didn't review it, is that a million line rewrite was merged 8 days after it began being written. It's simply not possible for a team that size to review that much code in that little time. As far…
Same reasons that IE versions only support certain versions of Windows: - they want to be able to switch to newer APIs when the underlying OS adds them (though in Edge's case it's more likely it was written from the…
The lack of subscription and signup, combined with the pricing, suggest that this is aiming at people who almost never send a fax, and would spend significantly more buying and maintaining a fax machine, compared to a…
it works. doesn't feel very native, but then neither do a lot of the big names in chat right now
it's US english, they're referring to Lego the product as a whole, rather than individual Lego pieces (the meaning ends up basically the same, but the distinction does change the grammar)
Exactly so. It's not strictly correct modern English as far as I know, but it's quite a common slip amongst French speakers (from their names I would strongly suspect at least one of the core Pijul folks fits that…
I've never really gotten into absolute line numbers, but relative ones are a godsend for me since I use <num>j, <num>d, et al a lot but can't really eyeball how many lines away something is once it gets to be more than…
The crucial distinction as far as the OP is using the term seems to be that such a datastore does not require the user's hosting provider to give them an instance of any of the common DB servers, which typically needs a…
or V for Vendetta
That link seems to be about Windows Server (no version stated, but given it's upcoming, presumably 2016), did you mean to post a different one?
Assuming I'm reading the parent post correctly, neither of those links actually do what they would've been hoping for when moving browsers, even if they certainly get closer than nothing. Firefox Sync only syncs with…
There's various ways: Some rely on the device itself to enforce it, but that's obviously fragile if you can bring your own device. Some check the TTL of your packets when they enter the carrier's network, because…
However, that still makes it a conscious choice to engage with the service that way - the default way is still checking back, and that shapes the general usage patterns of the site, even if some people have concluded it…
Unfortunately, I suspect you overestimate the obfuscating power of dynamic content when the number of users is sufficiently large. A certain MMO I play recently had a limited-time event built around figuring out the…
#2, "The program must include source code, and must allow distribution in source code as well as compiled form." Unreal's license for obtaining the source does not permit you to redistribute in source form, so you can't…
There's no one source which any Scotsman claims defines a Scotsman, though, whereas pretty much the core part of the definition of Christianity is following the teachings of Christ (it's in the name!), which the vast…
That's present in uBlock too, despite some fairly unintuitive UI - the big green power icon isn't a full disable for the extension, it disables it for the current site only.
I think the intent was more along the lines of "Matz is nice and therefore we should be nice", but in making it shorter and snappier it now uses a more ambiguous piece of the English language.
He's not so much a great programmer as a productive one (not that those are concepts that can't coexist, he just isn't both). He's very good at taking an idea and making it work, then building new stuff on that, but…
Most don't combine the two things that together give Java its big advantage, though: 1) Easily-distributable "mostly-compiled" bytecode form (JAR files). 2) Wide install base for the VM needed to run said bytecode.…
Someone who wanted to be sure that bug stuck in people's minds enough that they wouldn't just ignore it? Seems at least feasible.
Yes, but intentionally so - 0.y.z versions are meant to allow you to more-or-less try stuff out without inflating version numbers, with the 0. reminding users that they shouldn't consider it ready yet if they need…
In about 34 years, yes.
Another situation where regexes are possibly abused - syntax highlighting. Yes, there are a lot of languages where you can sanely highlight /most/ code with regexes, but there's a non-zero number where you need a little…
Unless the footer image in question was awarded by some kind of auditing body (with links back to their page so a visitor could verify the site really was audited), an idea like that has no fangs - for example, what's…
