The statelessness constraint is there to provide for cacheability; so that resource usage doesn't scale on a per-connection basis. HTTP's architectural constraints might not always be the best fit for your application's architecture, but th

It isn't the job of government to ensure that a business model is profitable where it otherwise wouldn't be. The concept that creating music or film (or any other kind of intellectual property) would be predictably profitable enough to meri

In Japan, employees mostly start at roughly the same salary - somewhere between $20k and $30k per year, regardless of position, with salary increases reflecting time spent at the company. Expats often move at the request of the company, and

Whether or not you have to pay for your commute probably depends on who you work for and what your contract is. I worked full time for a Japanese company, and they did pay for my commute; granted, I was also being paid a typical Japanese sa

This was my experience, too. Our CEO decided against the advice of all of our programmers that we should write our own CMS, primarily because he felt that it would put us at an advantage over our competitors to be able to say that more of t

In regards to violating HTTP, Frictionless Sharing isn't in any way different from every other non-RESTful service/site on the internet. Facebook could have just as easily implemented the same service RESTfully (not violating HTTP), and it

The userecho page on Code Folding has a lot of votes, though there's some speculation that it'd be pretty difficult to do with the current implementation of the editor control. http://sublimetext.userecho.com/topic/19281-syntax-code-fold..

You don't mention any stack/concatenative languages explicitly - is that just an oversight, do you feel there's less to gain from them than the others explicitly listed, or did you leave them out for some other reason?

I'm under the impression that each Virtual Console download includes an instance of an emulator. If that's the case, they may tweak the emulator for compatibility with each game (or hack the game itself). If you want to look into it some mo

Nintendo offers the "Virtual Console" on the Wii and 3DS. Unless my knowledge is out of date, Nintendo's business model revolves around licensing for publishing software for their hardware, so it's in Nintendo's best interest to sell hardwa

I don't think he meant for the 3 bits to be per-column, I think he meant 3 bits total - one for each row below the top, meaning "does this row have a hole that is covered? (and as such, cannot be cleared unless a line above it is cleared)"

It might be a good idea to look at it as an induction problem - one state leads to another, and since a lot of states are effectively the same, it means the tree can be pruned. Let's say the player has a row that's almost full - say, one sp

I don't think it's a preference for dedicated devices in that instance - the electronic dictionaries are just better than most cell phones for that purpose. Most people haven't switched over to smart phones, so the screens are small, and th

The worst part about these issues is that they aren't consistent, and fail completely silently. Global variables cause heisenbugs - you'll only notice when there's a collision, such as after compressing your script. The ==/!= operators and

I think the issue is that the images are different sizes, so putting size/location into CSS would require generating both CSS and a Sprite Sheet for each request. With Data URIs, they can convert to Base64 ahead of time, and then just conca

by T-R 15y ago
They're sending the Data URIs in a single JSON file, so it gives the same benefit (fewer HTTP requests) as normal CSS sprites. When you just combine multiple images into one (as you do for normal CSS sprites) you lose the information on the

Depends a lot on the school, and how much prior experience you have. As far as rigor and workload, that really depends on the professor. That said, intro courses are usually designed to be at least survivable by someone with no background a

I could see that, but is that necessarily the case all the time (particularly if you see it a lot)? I'd be surprised if it wasn't ever the case that they just didn't have permission, or the time, ability, or necessity to track down a person

I'd definitely go for the classroom. Unless you're living in the country, it can be pretty hard to maintain the discipline to cram vocabulary at a reasonable pace without anyone checking on you. Also, at some point you'll at least need some

That could be true, or it could not be. I had more courses before my OS class, but strictly speaking, I didn't necessarily need to take them in that order. Either way, it seems that the thing to do would be to get more practice independentl
