Not all crash bug can lead to remote code execution. A null dereference bug is a good example of that. No mater the context, you won't be able to do anything other than crash the s…

You can use services like VirusTotal to do a quick file check if you suspect anything. You can also check what services/program starts on boot (msconfig and services.msc). With tha…

Nothing stops you from prefixing your function with an underscore.

The problem is that the Q&A format is a very bad to ask for list of things. A "wiki" would be a much better format to have list of things that everyone can contribute to. Q&A is al…

Here's an other solution. If you simply calculate the first digit and length for N=2, you will see that 2233445566 has a length of 19 and starts with 4, 7788990011 has a length of …

The idea is more about knowing the scale of time it takes to help compare different solution. With those number you can see that it's faster to get data in memory from a distant se…

The problem now is that if you do it entirely with WebGL, you won't have as much people who can play it. WebGL support is still far from Flash support. It's however something that …

Just out of curiosity is there any difference with "Chrome Developper channel" and "Chrome Canary" in term of available features ?

I think it's a little bit early to say it's a triumph. Isn't the end goal to have an actual museum of Tesla at that place ?

With Flash you can use the RTMFP protocol to do the exact same thing (stream audio, video and data in P2P). It's just not a very known technology. If you really can't wait for P2P …

It's not many things, if you look carefully you will realize most of what is listed can be rewritten with a CSS selector. For example ":button" is the same has "button, input[type=…

We have been doing at work with our web product for quite long time and it works well. Instead of simply showing a 500 page when an error happens and logging it, we also provide a …

What's the point of compiling to CoffeeScript when it compiles to JavaScript ?

> JSX performs optimization while compiling the source code to JavaScript. The generated code runs faster than an equivalent code written directly in JavaScript. This is just absur…

Your statement is mostly incorrect, the metric they use to evaluate the performance of a site is clearly indicated on Area51 and you can see the progress (or decline) on the propos…

They used to, but now they don't. You can see their official answer here : http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/83591/how-to-run-a-p...

What I hate is the trend to overlook maintability of the code just to get something that will take less keystroke to write. People are creating new language in good faith and they …

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I hate with passion this trend to remove syntax from a language and call it an improvement. It may be easier to code, but the code you produce…

localStorage may be slow for read/write, but it's very easy to mitigate the problem by doing memory caching and delayed writting. Also storing file in localStorage is a bad idea. T…

If you are seeing JSLint as a dictatorship, you are probably seeing those tools from the wrong way. Those tools helps you spot potential mistake and help your code be a little bett…

An other major factor is the current conservative government. It has already taken unilaterally decision on subject like "hand gun register" and "omnibus law" despite the strong di…

For the humans.txt, there is an add-on for Chrome that let's you see very easily when a website has one. I do read them when I see one especially if it's a site that I go to often.…

The thing with certificate is that you have to trust that the certificate authorities won't sell (or give) fake certificate to ISP or government. If they do so, the ISP can MITM yo…

If your someone who isn't very experienced in mathematics, it's better to do them in order (easiest to harder) that's how your suppose to progress. If you're starting with the last…

It's not really an "incredible sounding statement", it's just logic. What makes a program more bug prone is the amount of logic there is in it. If it takes you 1000 lines of code i…
