Nathan J Barnatt has great videos. by HenryTheRedin video

This one is my long term favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyARHscb8mU

Douglas Crockford explains why he removed comments from JSON by eliseosotoin programming

[–]jtra 3 points4 points ago

I wonder why NaN (and Inf) has been left out when floating point numbers are in.

That caused some unfortunate errors in my app. But searching shown others ran into this as well. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1423081/json-left-out-infinity-and-nan-json-status-in-ecmascript

So your connections to relatives are now tied?

The Stack Trace from Hell by ragingtunain programming

[–]jtra 1 point2 points ago

I don't like filtering at all, but I like highlighting.

IDE I use (Intellij IDEA) highlights class names in the stack-trace that are present in project and makes them clickable (so that the source is opened at the line from stacktrace). That is quite satisfactory for me.

Does the ability to root, install custom roms and kernels affect your buying decisions? by diggsalotin Android

[–]jtra 0 points1 point ago

Two years ago when I was buying my first Android phone - no. But now when I consider new one - yes.

HP ZR2740w - High Resolution IPS that Doesn't Break the Bank by ozzileein photography

[–]jtra 0 points1 point ago

I have HP LP2065 (IPS) which is great. But reviewed display lacks OSD and controls so it is deal-breaker for me since I use linux for which there would be no control software.

What's the most clever piece of Haskell code you know? by tailcalledin haskell

[–]jtra 0 points1 point ago

I have used this to branch in quad trees:

ifQuad True True thenQuad _ _ _ = thenQuad
ifQuad True False _ thenQuad _ _ = thenQuad
ifQuad False True _ _ thenQuad _ = thenQuad
ifQuad False False _ _ _ thenQuad = thenQuad

Do you think the security industry exaggerates the threat of mobile malware? by TheloniusPhunkin andSec

[–]jtra 0 points1 point ago

I think they exaggerate only slightly. Most articles about Android security by security companies are technically ok. But what they do wrong are solutions.

A lot of issues comes from security bugs in default browser (webkit) and in local kernel and base Android system vulnerabilities. Security bugs happen. But security updates are often missing in mobile world. So there are known bugs and no fixes. See http://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/qrxit/how_did_he_root_this_guys_phone_via_browser/
That is bad and security apps marketed by most of the Android security companies are not going to fix that. They may scan apps before installing, but that is not proper solution for whole issue. Some better solutions require to have root access - those could be somewhat effective - but to get root access on Android you need to have non-manufacturer roms or you have to exploit local kernel bug. And if the app of the security company can get root, the evil apps can do it too. So security companies sell something different which is not really effective against this.

Real solution are security updates embraced in the core of the system by Google (like Microsoft did with Windows Update).

TL;DR: bugs happen, fixes are missing, security companies fix only a subset of the whole security issue, only Google can make the system more secure as a whole

Captain Obvious on Functions in JavaScript by homoiconicin programming

[–]jtra 0 points1 point ago

Here is an example where C compiler optimizations and CPU architecture make a case for two loops being faster than one:

Captain Obvious on Functions in JavaScript by homoiconicin programming

[–]jtra 1 point2 points ago

It can be fixed this way:

function oneArg(f) {
    return function(x) { return f(x) }
}

['1','2','3','4'].map(oneArg(parseInt))

"Here's a list of 50 items I'd like to see for the basis of a new language" by Seelein programming

[–]jtra 0 points1 point ago

Why not have something more powerful: the full reflection for call stack.

So you could implement continuation yourself but you could also serialize and deserialize stack as you like. That could be great for web apps where continuation frameworks were touted as great thing, but programming languages that supported them did not offer serialization and deserialization so it did not work in real world where user session (or some parts of it) should persist even a server node restart.

First Post. What do you think? by [deleted]in photocritique

[–]jtra 0 points1 point ago

I like it.

What do you think of this for live event photography? by bolognaeatmyin photocritique

[–]jtra 2 points3 points ago

Brightest thing in the picture (that attracts eye) is blurred man in background, while the main (focused) subject is dark. This causes a conflict. Fortunatelly the hand of the singer and mic is slightly brighter than rest. Try to play with relative brightness of image parts.

Does anybody use GIMP as a serious post-processing alternative? by Just_Kinoin postprocessing

[–]jtra 2 points3 points ago

GIMP can be integrated with ufraw which provides some raw support.

I use GIMP on Linux, but it has some issues like lack of modes with more than 8bit per RGB component. But this should be fixed in some next year version. I also use RawTherapee.

GIMP is quite good for editing and it is worth to investigate.

Bitcoin - ASDFG by the-acein Bitcoin

[–]jtra 1 point2 points ago

Anonymous - but traceable

Secure - only as your operating system, so not that much; online wallets are at risk too

Digital - ok

Fast - as long as there is incentive to process transactions

Global - yet only few use it
