Re:A Real Keyboard for Programmers? on Thursday August 29, 2013 @05:15PM (#6298658)
most i agree, except "Stupid keys like Page Up, Scroll Lock, and Insert are gone. They have no place in modern computing."

Having the default 2 x 3 insert home pgup; delete end pgdown is my #1 requirement to any keyboard.

The same thing can be built for facebook, though.

Are there still (many) of people using EBCDIC?
Re:Strings – Dive Into Python 3 on Friday May 10, 2013 @11:28AM (#5686714)
TL;DR: think of string as tuple of numbers. some are bytes, some are integers. if you want to transform those numbers into a particular encoding (e.g. UTF-8, CP-1252) then that's a different story.

EDIT: I know the article went all out about character abstraction, that why i said "some are bytes, some are integers"

Re:Strings – Dive Into Python 3 on Friday May 10, 2013 @11:26AM (#5686690)
My thought exactly too haha
first thing i noticed: "log in" vs "sign in". looks great tho!

From the address bar, Chrome shows http://www.xn--p3h.com/ Safari & Firefox show http://www.★.com
TL;DR: use Amz S3 to host static content for cheap
Rename the article to"How to explain REST to non-techies, my wife for example?"

The difference is in real life, nobody has to maintain said "screw driver." Your metaphor is not sound sir!

"If your app is simple enough, you don't need an ORM. If you think your app is complex enough to use an ORM, it probably doesn't do much good."
Re:JSON is not as safe as people think it is on Wednesday March 27, 2013 @11:28AM (#5449952)
That's why google starts their json with while(1); (or something like that) so any effort attempting to evaluate the json itself as javascript code will be stuck in an infinite loop.
Re:Computer Science in Vietnam on Monday March 18, 2013 @02:33AM (#5392771)
This post does not describe the typical school in Vietnam. Unless it has dramatically changed over the last 6 years, last I recall, the most programming was taught in high school was some Hello world and how to use loops. Having said that, I was selected (via an MS Excel test) into a "gifted" team since 8th grade that was trained algorithmic programming to compete with other school districts. But that's not typical and is in no way the regular ciriculum.

Found the grammatical error "it's own." Immediately assumed author was uneducated and closed the tab.
