Now we are getting somewhere. Yes, neither option works. The points you mention should be open to debate, based on open and truthful information. And if the points of view are so i…

You not agreeing with my statement, is only because you decided for yourself what you see as a minor or a major inconvenience. But you cannot project your belief system onto others…

The problem with this kind of reasoning is that you put blame on a large group of individuals, without being a 100% the measure have any positive effect at all. This creates a dang…

Pastels to promote the fascist 'new normal'. How very quaint. I really wish people stopped digging our own graves.

Separating DOM and data I can understand, but I am not convinced Backbone is the right way to do it. My code would look more like: function postdata(url, data, callback) { $.ajax({…

The problem with TBBT is that the writing of the last season(s) is so bad and lazy, that you are wondering why you liked it in the first place. Same thing happened with Two and a H…

In FireFox the problems are either with the timer or how fast a screen is drawn. On an old laptop, changing the opacity, or set a different color of the same amount of divs takes a…

Less than 1% has JavaScript turned off. The answer to your question is the same as to if a website should support Netscape 3. I would say the answer depends on what the target audi…

For me personally, I couldn't work without music. It blocks out environment noise. In a silent area it's like every small sound is amplified tenfold. It could be I'm different, but…

I don't think the author intended to insult Java/C# developers. He just gave an extreme example to show that a good IDE will pay it self back.

Only 8 more days till April 1st

It wouldn't be the first time Wikileaks went after corporations. Half a year ago they published a document about how shareholders plundered the islandic bank Kaupthing before it co…

Details missing the point. Yes it's possible to use .NET, but Microsoft development tools aren't automatically the best choice anymore, and often even the worst choice.

No the opposite of holding back. Without MS we wouldn't have AJAX or Rich Text editors at the moment. I am fully supportive of open standards, but it's rare that companies together…

The server and tools revenue doesn't say anything about .NET. I didn't say get rid of SQL server or their server OS. Compare the popularity of C# + VB.net to other languages to see…

I would tell Microsoft to go back to their 90s mindset. Less focussed on big corporations, and more on getting (Windows) Microsoft software everywhere. Back then Microsoft was mayb…

As always I am wondering if this test tells me, who I am, who I think I am, or, who I want to be. Today I am somewhere between ENTP and INTP ENTP (E: 1 N: 75 T: 50 P: 33)

There is no point in getting up either; eventually gravity will win.

For every analyst predicting a stock will go up there is one predicting the opposite. Guessing correct 50% of the time is probably an improvement to their past predictions. Till no…

Above 40 good programmers probably are rare, but doesn't have much to do with age, but is more of a generation difference. 40 and below is the same as the gamer generation, startin…

We have more stuff than 40 years ago, but less than 20. What also changed is that many single income households are double incomes now. Or that people are working 60-80 hours a wee…

When robots are making robots that make our stuff, noone will be able to buy any of the cheap stuff, except the people that controls the goods. Labor is the only good most people h…

The upperbound = maxint The total number of items = maxint + 1

1) The maxint was just an example and these tests are not limited to arrays. For the same I was talking about bytes. And comparing a byte value against 255 + 1 is still wrong. So y…

1) I think you are missing the point. According to Dijkstra you need to test if a var is within a range with i 2) Sorry, I don't have a clue what you mean. What's the difference be…
