There's just so many times you can direct people to http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html without losing your sanity. I spent several years trying to help people on a specific topic and eventually gave up because the stream o

http://pastebin.com/ceWGKZjJ , now you just need to firebug a Facebook page so you can figure out what those element IDs do... At a quick glance, I'd say ErrantX is correct.

Well, it also parses hex numbers prefixed with 0x... Hard to be surprised after the first time you get tripped by it.

Well, at least they had to try to find a hole. I've had the pleasure of maintaining a "typical PHP project" - written by someone with no clue about xss, csrf or anything else. It had an admin interface that simply returned the Location: /

Impressive, but I'll second the heating remark. I just bought one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001E03444/ and swap out the drives as I need them. + two Fractal 120mm fans (incredibly quiet yet powerful, highly recommended)

In my experience (limited to single threaded code though), modern C++ compilers (especially MSVC which does a better job than GCC in general) optimize really well. It's interesting to compare the assembly generated for the same operations i

Microsoft has published their UI Design Guidelines, but it gets largely ignored as far as I can see - as long as developers don't see UI polish as a high priority issue, it gets pushed back as long as possible like other "polishing" tasks.

(Edit: fixed formatting) Revolting? I think that's a pretty good, if complex, example of "pushing the limits". IMHO, the label "revolting" is reserved for code like this: Derived() : Base() { THISCALL(0x535AA0); *(DWORD*)this =

Another good intro to lambdas and more: http://blogs.msdn.com/vcblog/archive/2008/10/28/lambdas-auto... . It's for Microsoft's VC++ (including the free Express edition I'm using right now), not GCC, but the syntax is obviously the same in

A few years ago I had just a passing familiarity with assembler. Nowadays I write C++ that integrates with a closed source application, deals with its data structures, classes, and function calls, and adds functionality, as a hobby. Too bad

I tried Tetris ... 11k points later I realised that 25 minutes had gone by. Addictive, and very well done from both technical and gameplay perspective!

When it's valid and constructive, negative feedback is a good thing. When it's neither of those, and repetitive on top of that, you can't help but leave civility at the door and tell the complainers to shove it. I get a lot of bitching and

You're looking for an issue tracking system / bugtracker. Try the Issues tab on github. You create an issue/task that needs to be done, assign it to a developer, and ask them to update the issue's details as he/she progresses. I am not that

In my current free time project, I learned enough C++ by reading assembly to not find anything new in Lippman's "C++ Object Model". I'm not sure if that's a good sign or a bad one - did I see so many tricks, was I not reading attentively, o

Reverse engineering a C++ game and patching it. The usual thing fans do to fix their favourite broken games :)

Debugging and reverse engineering games. When publishers/developers don't give a bleep, the fans take up the task of fixing the bugs themselves. I happen to run one such project in my spare time (for C&C: Red Alert 2), and it's amazing
