Just like you could have Java 8 projects before this change.

The mur.al link leads to an empty page with a character encoding warning for me.

He joined the Waffen-SS in 1944 at the age of 17. The Waffen-SS was totally not the same as the SS.

It is widely known that every corporate developer has endless time for his work. Mundane aspects like costs of development should have no impact on our code, the pureness of which …

> It's called "Vernichtungslager" / "Concentration Camps", their whole purpose is the legal killing of undesirables, you're really venting your anger at the wrong agency here. They…

Something tells me there will be no meeting 50 years after the torture in US secret prisons -- especially none with any insight into the wrongness of it.

Might be a good idea to document stuff like that ;)

It's not really a bug for the same reasons that jQuery implements focus/blur independently from focusin/focusout. focus events just don't bubble out natively so you have to make yo…

There's quite a functional overlap between many uses of jQuery and what React does. Ignoring animations and ajax, the core functionality of jQuery orients itself to the concept of …

I think it's deluded to expect any country to come even close to what the US is doing except maybe China. The budgets of all are not anywhere high enough to pull such a thing off. …

I think the main problem is that these days we tend to look at this as a purely quantitative matter, when it's largely a quality matter. We largely abandoned the enlightenment idea…

Is node actually able to use more than one core now?

Were there ever really common peek and pokes that would change programs? Yes, "poke 53280,0" would directly write address 0xd020 to 0x00 which then e.g. would turn the border black…

Ironically, just like for the American plea bargaining, the risk of the German system is hardest for those actually innocent. The differential between falsely confessing and not mi…

If you can find a case in which the validator fails, it's wrong. Otherwise, if it's looks like a JSON parser and works like a JSON parser, i.e. is indistinguishable from a "proper"…

The issue is why JSON and Javascript both allow you to escape the slash character with a backslash. So just going is enough.

First of all, if native JSON parsing exists, jQuery will use that. The validation code they use in case there is no native JSON implementation available is borrowed from Douglas Cr…

In addition: Google has no ads on the google news pages.

Because the publishers want their cake and eat it. They want to be found by Google, but Google should pay them for it. Because they're awesome and the protectors of culture and eve…
