You are still fighting a losing battle, because you say that I am 'doing it wrong.' The code to my main project will never be put forth for you, or others, to review. Yet it is as high quality as the code in any of my articles because I know that taking shortcuts only hurts me in the end. Your picture is still too black and white. But it is better than it was.
Best wishes,
David

In the end of the article, I precise what I meant by doing it wrong: "I am using the terms “doing it wrong” because there is so much more to gain from working on code as a group of individuals than as a solo dev". This does not mean that your code is bad. But just try this experiment: take any part of your main project code, post it on a dev forum and ask for feedback on what could be improved. I'd be surprised if everyone told you that everything was perfect and that you would not learn from others.
I'm not fighting a battle here. It's very hard to stay opiniated without appearing judgmental, and I might still need to change some phrasing or words so that my message is not misunderstood. And it's true that nothing is black and white, but I'd rather have sharp corners hoping that maybe one of my readers will have the desire to start asking for some feedback, to get some code review tool for his team, to be more open about his coding decisions, etc.
I'll take more time after work to get back on the article again and see if anything can be improved so that it is clearer.

Nicolas wrote: code that has been entirely designed and produced by a single person, code which has never been seen or reviewed by others peers, code that has been produced in the dark is always a code smell. This is too offensive and totally wrong conclusion and yet you're trying to persuade CP members. Most of CP articles are written with individual members and you are saying each members article codes are code smelled. What a conclusion ! Man there are lot of codes which always bring pain in the ass and fragile and yet developed and maintained by many devs.
As @Pete-OHanlon says you are not winning the war here.

You are misreading me. Aren't CP articles "seen / reviewed / commented" by others?
Just like any open source work done by solo guys, any article / code that ends up in the open for others to see is what I call code "in the light" and is praised in my article.

Yes it is. Anyone can comment the code in the comment section. If the code has defect it's also addressed. But don't expect every article to be commented. You can see mine. If you want too. And you can see my github as well. "This seems an advert" but it's an example what I gave you.

I do not like to use 'dark' words - but a few come to my mind reading these absolute nonsense...

Starting in January 2015, Google’s Chrome browser will block all old-school Netscape Plug-In API (NPAPI) plugins. This doesn’t come as a huge surprise, given that Google started its efforts to remove NPAPI plugins more than a year ago. There's another spike in Silverlight
|
|
|
|
|
From techcrunch.com: ...Silverlight still remains popular with 11% of Chrome users launching it at least once per month. What I want to know is how does Google know this? Does Chrome phone home every time a plug-in is launched?

There is a user setting for "Automatically send usage statistics and crash reports" I suspect they get a lot of data from that.
|
|
|
|
|
I thought that was for when it crashed, and isn't it disabled by default? If that is the metric the stat is based on, then for all we really know the percentage could be higher or lower than 11%. Then again, this is Google, so I'm sure they know I'm typing this right now. If you don't hear from me in a week, call for help.

How do you know they haven't prepared this reply and sent it on my behalf

Because Google would use a period or question mark to end a sentence.

Smoking will not only damage your health but also your computer, as e-cigarettes manufactured in China are reportedly being used to spread malicious software through the USB connection used to charge the device. Those things are bad for you, you know

Why would you plug one into a computer? Plenty of other USB ports available.
|
|
|

Because the PSU in your PC is almost certainly more efficient than the ones in standalone wallwarts.

It's just as well those projects to deliver networking through the same socket as mains electricity a few years ago never took off, or we'd never be able to charge anything safely.

what about http://lifehacker.com/five-best-external-battery-packs-509802431[^]?
That way you might only check for safty once, then use it as "firewall"

Well it is possible to do networking through the same socket as mains electricity? I'm using it at home as I don't have an ethernet port in my office room and I didn't want to either have a cable lying accross the whole apartment or manually (or pay for) pulling a cable. I never had any problems with it so far

Massive advances in NAND flash storage could eventually render the old spinning drive obsolete. 10TB SSD? Yes, please

No thanks, I still don't trust SSD's and still have to learn the proper way to do backups.

I love SSD, but I am a bit reluctant about the newest things.
I.e. In software I usually wait until SP 1 is released, then I start thinking on upgrade
So once they are in the markt for a while and have been suficiently tested... then I would love to have one.
Atm having one with 512 Gb and it is lovely fast (my 4+ years old laptop 2x i7 Core with 6 Gb RAM compiles faster than other collegues newest laptop with 4x Core and 8 or 10 Gb RAM)
