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 give me answer to how the call stack looks like wh

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 configuration options. Is this typical? For onboarding

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 screen reader user can jump from the beginning of the document

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 *userData parameter like in C.

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 white. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_En

I would not say that I am particularly experienced, but I will tell my point of view from a not particularly sophisticated programmer. I am interested in seeing what objections others may have to what I write. Compared to other popular prog

Here in Norway newspapers more or less survive, although perhaps not with the younger generations. They are generally the best source if you want to follow up on local events. How do Americans follow local news?

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 Haskell involves cross-compilation, considering the memory usage o

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 natural to be overwhelmed by the level of indentation,

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 identity authorities and communications monitoring, so I rely

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 with also play a role.

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 warn me again" option, but from what I hear it just makes the m

Here it renders perfectly on Fedora in Firefox, Chrome and Safari on Mac OS X, Firefox and IE9 on Windows Vista. It would be nice if the people who encounter these text-rendering problems mention what setup they use.

Lately I've found it engaging to try to build up a personal repository of C libraries. Mostly wrappers and reimplementations of well-outlined standards, but still very engaging. It makes me think about API design, learn about the details of
