Static constructors, part twoPreviously on FAIC I gave a quick overview of the basic operation of a static constructor. Today, three unusual corner cases. The first odd case I want to talk about involves static methods. Take a look at the sample program from last time. Now suppose we edited the Main method to say:
Start Writing More ClassesFirst of all let me preface all of this by saying that functions are awesome. When I'm arguing for more classes I'm not saying that we should have less functions. I love the idea of the Java IO system.
Lazy parsing in javascriptAlong with idea of responsive design, we have discovered, that there are many accompanying problems with it’s usage. One of them lays in small hardware resources hidden under the hood of mobile or other portable devices.
When One-Way Latency Doesn’t MatterRecently, two of my coworkers started working on an MMO. Naturally, this led to discussion about networking.

A New Java Library for Amazing ProductivityI’ve found this great Java library that can make developers more efficient in pretty much every source file they write. It has the following features:
Why there is no Hitchhiker’s Guide to Mathematics for ProgrammersFor those who aren’t regular readers: as a followup to this post, there are four posts detailing the basic four methods of proof, with intentions to detail some more advanced proof techniques in the future. You can find them on this blog’s primers page.
Efficiency is fundamentally at odds with eleganceQ: In retrospect, wasn't the decision to trade off programmer efficiency, security, and software reliability in exchange for runtime performance a fundamental mistake? A: Well, I don’t think I made such a tradeoff. I want elegant and efficient code. Sometimes I get it. The efficiency vs.
