...rks in the background. This isn't like telling people to learn Assembly in order to code - you don't need to build your AJAX requests with pure JS, just jQuery, because if you ever want to be a professional, that's the minimum basic knowledge you'll need to have. Cheers – yuvi ...

...d be tempted to use these to read as many bytes as we need in one step, in order to achieve better performance. There is one small "problem" with this: how many bytes do we need? We could say: as many as the number of output letters. We would think this is an upper estimation, as a letter index use...

...verage to 4 significant figures, and the resulting output was uniform. In order to port this code to a language that doesn't have arbitrarily large integers built-in, you'll have to cap the values of pow5 and pow7 to the maximum value of your native integral type -- if they get too big, then reset ...

...e, "solving" the halting problem. However, no type system is perfect. In order to eliminate a particular class of errors, they must also reject certain perfectly valid programs which violate the rules. This is why Twelf doesn't really solve the halting problem, it just avoids it by throwing out a...

I have a <div> element and I want to put a border on it. I know I can write style="border: 1px solid black" , but this adds 2px to either side of the div, which is not what I want. ...

... we assume that Hamster uses the same arguments as RussionMini in the same order. For functions that call other functions I usually use another way to pass arguments. I usually pass one object to a function and have that function mutate whatever it needs (set defaults), then that function will pass...

...es, you need some hard-coded information about resources in your client in order to satisfy the usability requirements. Still, try to hard-code as little as possible, to reduce the dependencies between client and server. I have included a section on HATEOAS in my REST implementation pattern called ...
