> Welsh is actually quite different from the other two. It uses lots of ll and ff and it uses w as a vowel (e.g., cwm). Welsh also uses a circumflex accent to extend any of the vowels, and since both 'w' and 'y' are v

The anaemic way would turn that 10,000 line file into something closer to 10,000 one-line files. To me, that is the very definition of spaghetti code. My biggest problem with the enterprise Java way of doing things is the fact that you have

It's all very pretty, but having looked at the source code for the page it's not really very semantic. If you're creating buttons and using DIVs and not one BUTTON, you've completely missed the point of semantic HTML. Me

I wish I could upvote this more than once. A lot of comments here are positive about the idea of a single global language when it's their language that wins out. I strongly suspect that if it were Mandarin, Arabic or Russian instead of

One of the benefits of learning to program J for me has been to make it easy to remember hard to crack passwords. I have some passwords which are actually runnable J on-liner programs and contain all kind of '#!$' symbols. All I n

That's a bit like complaining that a joke isn't funny because you didn't bother to read/listen all the way to the punchline.

The map also seems to be saying there's no McDonald's in Romania, but I'm pretty sure I've eaten in a McDonald's in Bucharest.

The original comment I replied to was suggesting that the date picker was a bad thing. My point is that it's better than any other method, since parsing a date correctly for all people in all situations in the way implied in that post

If I type in '02/03/2013' is that the 3rd of February or the 2nd of March?

You're not even 30 and you're speaking as though your career is over and your chances of ever doing cutting edge stuff are gone. Your life is to a certain extent what you make it. Stop looking back at the crap times with regret otherwise yo
