...g containing a numeric value (I had to consider also exponential notation, etc.), a Number object, virtually anything could be passed to that function, I couldn't make any type assumptions, taking care of type coercion (eg. +true == 1; but true shouldn't be considered as "numeric"). I think is wor...

...rce code for an explanation. On 17 may 2012, the code size was doubled in order to take care of the player's ready state. If you need a compact function which does not deal with the player's ready state, see http://jsfiddle.net/8R5y6/. /** * @author Rob W <gwnRob@gmail.com> * @websit...

...oftware is built on Unix-compatible systems like Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, etc, most open-source communities and their tools (including programming languages) continue to follow these conventions. There are technical reasons which made sense in 1971, but in this era it's mostly convention and maint...

... are in different locations, they are different (US keyboard has no ´¨ç etc), and sometimes they even work differently! (In US keyboard there are no dead keys AFAIK, so one gets ~n instead of ñ, ^o instead of ô...) – ANeves thinks SE is evil Nov 11 '11 at ...

Usually you're making a list of variables differentiated by nothing but a number because that number would be a convenient way to access them later. orca <- list() orca[1] ...

If you store data with firefox it won't be available in chrome or ie etc. Also as far as clearing cookies and sessions, I've noticed it is also browser specific as to whether or not the local storage is cleared. I'd look into the details a lot if you're really planning on relying on local stor...

...is true that reinterpret_cast is not portable because of one reason - byte order (endianness). But this is often surprisingly the best reason to use it. Let's imagine the example: you have to read binary 32bit number from file, and you know it is big endian. Your code has to be generic and works pro...

...very specific need for the wrap around that happens when you drop the high-order bits. Given those params, intValueExact() throws an exception when we don't want it to if our fractional part is non-zero. On the other hand, intValue() doesn't throw an exception when it should if our BigDecimal is ...

... to notify a local adb server at startup; hence the need to restart adb in order for it to probe the local 5554+ ports. Note that the localhost in the ssh command refers to the local interface of the remote machine. adb devices showed a new emulator — emulator-5554 — and I could use it as if i...
