I know you mean to point out how old and crufty XP is (and that is true), but if you stop and think about it... it's really a testament to C++ and Microsoft engineering that it has done so well for so long.

2010 builds them OK. You can also look at mingw with g++ if you want to try some of the C++11 features on Windows XP. I was surprised to hear that MS did this. XP is still widely used in industry and is a good baseline platform to target.

Try SHA1_Pass. I'm the author. It's open Source. Runs on Linux, Windows and Macs. It generates passwords, it does not store them. Edit: Here's a link (no ads or other junk). http://16s.us/sha1_pass/

tcplay is included in this release. It's probably the most complete independent implementation of TrueCrypt (outside of TrueCrypt itself) that you'll find anywhere. As a stand-alone application, tcplay works with Linux as well.

Very true! We can all learn from each other regardless of our level of experience. No one person knows everything. There's nothing wrong with making a mistake and learning from that and nothing wrong with others knowing that you have the ba

In general, I think you mean a way to publish and a way to communicate. I closed my github and twitter accounts and re-took control by publishing source code on my website. I'll occasionally communicate things I've done that I think may int

C++ is popular in other sectors as well. I use it daily and love it. I can build Python modules with it (Boost Python) so Python coders can easily use my C++ code. I can build Windows DLLs too so the Windows C# guys can use the C++ code as

I've never been to an OpenBSD hackathon, but I've heard good things about them from others. They get a lot done on ports and various projects (PF, OpenSSH, etc) during the hackathons. It seems to be a big part of their culture.

There are lots of magic in C and C++ that most people are unaware of or told never to do. But, that magic is used often by older programmers. For example, this is perfectly valid C++ (no compiler warnings or errors even with -Wall and -Wext

I highly recommend Tuffmail. They are awesome. I am a longtime customer: http://www.tuffmail.com/ Edit: It's not free. It costs like 2 dollars a month for the smallest account.

You'll likely be labeled a terrorist and not be able to board an aeroplane... at least in the USA. Edit: I meant this to be humorous, though it may not be far from the truth. If Symantec values its source code above a certain dollar amount,

Very nice article. To be a "systems programmer" or a "rails web programmer" are two very different things. One is not "better" than the other, only different with different skill sets and knowledge while still sharing some general concepts

I do systems programming and I use C++ a lot. It's perfect for that. Anyone who does systems or embedded stuff will tell you how wonderful C++ is over the alternatives.

I think one issue is the word "app" and how it's thrown around so easily these days by people who don't fully understand what an app is. It sounds so simple... "just make an app" or "there's an app for that". While devs know that "applicati

I used to oppose unit testing because I had a good C++ compiler with all warnings turned on and I foolishly thought that was all I needed and that unit testing was only for dynamic languages that did not have compilers. I'm a big fan now th

It's like banning guns. Bad guys will still have them and still know where to get more. Only good, decent, law-abiding people suffer from these efforts.

I have trouble finding my "home" button too in Firefox. Maybe I'm just getting older, or maybe things are just getting more complex. Probably a bit of both.

Maybe some start-up will establish a foreign VPN service (in China or Iran) to help people in the US to freely connect to these services without fear of reprisal.

The server hard drives contain illegal and legal data and they are not separately owned/occupied like buildings are. The alleged criminals own all the hard drives. Cops aren't going to weed through all of that data and then figure out who

If you're storing your stuff in a crack house and the cops close it down and take all the stuff, you're probably not getting it back. Edit: Even if your stuff is legal.

They don't care. They honor those who buy the lobster dinners and give them 30 dollar cigars. When you vote them out, they'll have several six or seven figure cushy job offers to pick from. --- From wikipedia: In February 2011, despite "rep
