A motivation for reimplementing System.out.println might be to have it reliably display Unicode characters in Windows terminals, using WriteConsoleW.

I've found a debugger particularly useful when trying to understand details about other people's code, when changing the source code is not necessarily an option. They can quickly …

I've encountered a code written in the 12factor style of using environment variables for configuration, and in that particular case there was no validation nor documentation of the…

Check the WCAG success criteria that your jurisdiction requires. One less obvious, and commonly required, criteria (WCAG 2.4.1[1]) is that the site has some mechanism by which a sc…

xmllint also supports XPath queries.

I personally don't see having the version in the package address particularly more nasty than specifying it in the project file, as in Maven, which I have been dealing with lately.…

In this timeline, Common Lisp first appears when it was standardized. It should probably also mention its predecessor MACLISP.

Could someone comment on what instances you would typically apply lambdas and closures in real-world code? I figure that they are at least more convenient than callbacks with a *us…

Your thoughts match up with Anders Breivik living in a part of Oslo, a city with a large portion of early-generation immigrants from non-western areas, which was predominantly whit…

You can run Ocaml on the Raspberry Pi for one.

How well does deploying Haskell web applications to a low-memory VPS work? My experience with the Play framework tells me that Scala is out of the question. Presumably using Haskel…

It's as if it was only yesterday that we saw Microsoft bragging about IE9 being arguably slightly ahead of the other browsers.

HTML?

It has been used successfully before. Just ask Alexander Litvinenko.

Surely expressing personal issues with Lisp's syntax is valid, especially if a possible solution is offered. If you see at least some of the larger codebases written in Lisp, it is…

I do not believe any large company have economic interest in developing such technologies, in part because they can subvert current business models that are built on centralized id…

As a moderately advanced computer user, I would like to see: Convenient and standard way to cryptographically identify myself across different mediums. Convenient variants of commu…

In addition to Ctrl+T to go back from a definition, Ctrl+O also seems to work, which I find more ergonomic on Qwerty.

While building respect is a great attitude, it is not the only thing that help you land in networks. The network connections of your family and the posh kids you went to school wit…

Can someone explain why bricking an infected computer is a good idea? I might understand it if the boot sequence just gives a warning with information, suggestions and a "Don't war…

For my hobby programming server, I primarily use it to serve different web applications on different domains. The server is a proxy to web applications that listen on different por…

Next they could maybe cut down on the UI of Google Books. http://i.imgur.com/BXvRdwq.png It is often convenient to have the browser window small when working at something else besi…
