Boost Python is great for anyone doing C++ Python modules. It's rather simple too.

Your employment with them does not reflect on you professionally or personally. You should list the work you did while employed for them and be proud of it. There's no shame in doing that.

The two big players here (Vasco and RSA) both do this in hardware and software. So there are soft devices that run on desktops, mobile, etc.

Also, milk/dairy products in general are chocked-full of cow hormones that cause acne, baldness and prostrate cancer in men. It's best to not consume it. Sources: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18194824 http://www.cancer.gov/newscent

The second email reads like it was written by a MBA (no disrespect to MBAs intended). There are lot's of fluff words (visibility, collaboration-dependent, solo productivity, etc). Perhaps it sounds softer than the initial email, but it leav

My advice is to go to a college that you can afford. I spent my first two years at a local community college and transferred 60 credit hours (about half of what's needed to graduate) to a large state university where I graduated Phi Beta Ka

I use a large Platform computational compute cluster often. We use individual processes (not threads) to crunch big data and in general that approach works well. Each process has its own memory space and its own little bit of the work load

Nor did I. He was likely trying to describe the self-entitlement of the younger generation. Which I totally agree with. You/we are not entitled to anything and you/we are not special snowflakes. I think that's all he meant to convey.

It seems that the focus this year was pass phrases. Notice the final note I just added to the website. I should have realized this based on the hints provided at the end of the contest. Anyway, I gave an example on how to crack some.

Can the porn picture be removed so people who want to keep their jobs can read it? Really, most of us keep-up with HN from work and would violate work-place policy by reading this article due to the choice of picture.

Boost Python is fabulous too if you want to call C++ routines. We do a lot of heavy lifting with that and use plain Python for higher-level tasks.

I've built OpenCV for use on HPC clusters, and while not a big facial coder, I have help those who do it. It's interesting to distinguish between the terms 'facial detection' and 'facial recognition'. The former basically judges whether or

I'm not sure the systems "look good", it's more like they "look too complex". That's the sign of a useless architect. Simple and efficient are so under-appreciated.

I liked this sentence. It's so very true. "Just because looking down your nose at C++ or Perl is the popular opinion doesn't mean that those languages aren't being used by very smart folks to build amazing, finely crafted software."

It is impossible to prove a PRNG'ed file is or is not encrypted data. TrueCrypt volumes look identical to `dd if=/dev/urandom of=file.bin bs=512`. Create a few of each and then evaluate them using ent to see this for yourself. Edit: Link to
