That's a really nice article, thanks. And I can see how separating the validation logic from processing code is useful. What's not clear to me is why you chose this approach over existing OOP techniques, such as GoF Adapter Patte

If it's the UK, then you can book a seat on most services... if you're travelling distance during peak time, and you know in advance, then I'd recommend it - and being prepared to politely but assertively ask people to move i

I bought Cormac McCarrthy's Border Trilogy on a whim (had seen and loved the film of No Country for Old Men before). I'm based in the UK, but it honestly takes you places you can never go. Read the whole three books four or five t

I agree with this - his works may have a logic of their own, or they may not, or the logic may not be a logic that can be understood by any human. For me, it helps to think of them as dreams - there's some normal looking stuff, but the

So, here's what I did when I dumped a (well paid) full-time job in order to start my own company/freelance full-time: * Took advice from people already doing it * Looked really hard at my living costs, savings, etc, and figured ou

This just basically tells you how to mount a disk and install samba. You could equally well apply these instructions to any debian-based system.

Just out of curiosity, how many people took their first steps in programming by typing out code from a book or magazine? - When I started out, including a floppy disk with a book or magazine was a rarity, so BBC Basic, Spectrum and PCW-9512

I guess the memorization is why some people recommend code katas - the purpose being to learn the techniques and not the solution. [1] http://www.butunclebob.com/ArticleS.UncleBob.TheBowlingGameK...

It's worth taking some time to learn how to use FreeMind with just the keyboard, and to learn how to do a mind map (see [1] for an overview). It can be used exclusively from the keyboard, so you can get pretty quick with it. I've not used F

I'm guessing something like PhantomJS (other versions of QTWebKit are available) on the server - some of the samples that comes with it shows how to capture all the requests resulting from loading a URL.

If you could classify the cookies and 3rd part requests into the different functionality groups, then you'd really have a tool. That said, 3rd party cookies are usually evil.

However, the problem with Android is version fragmentation - a lot of users have phones that they can't trivially upgrade to ICS, and therefore can't use Chrome for Mobile/Android. Asking someone to root their phone and install a custom ROM

Off topic, but according to [1], web workers have not been available in Android Browser since 2.1. There's a SO Question [2] about this, which points to [3]. Seems crazy, when Chrome for Mobile does support it [4]. 1: http://caniuse.com/we
