Some of the comments here seem rather harsh and certainly after the fact. There are a lot of knowledgeable, well-intended people on the committee and the standard was ratified by nation states. So it is finished. The time to take issue with

You may "quit at the drop of a hat" as well so it works both ways. In the US, it's called "at will employment" so if you get stuck somewhere you don't like, you may leave. But if you want to use the company as a reference for future jobs, b

In my experience, you don't have to be careful. I've written lot's of C++ that compile fine on Windows (using mingw/msys) or Linux/Mac using gcc. Can you provide an example of where gcc specific features are included w/o the developer expli

I had a boss once who thought IPv6 had something to do with car engines. I kid you not.

The best compliment I got from a boss once: "Normally, fuck-ups like this take three guys a week to fix. One guy fixed your fuck-up in two hours. You don't fuck-up as well as most."

1. Send random user agent on each connection. 2. Never send referrer. 3. Built-in blocking of all tracking and ads. 4. Javascript disabled by default.

That's how I've always thought of it as well.

The ads are distracting (period). That's why I use blockers or disable javascript, but the latter breaks many sites these days. Some tech sites (/.) have ads that show attractive women with large breasts wearing tight t-shirts. The ad is pr

Is he saying that the ifndef to protect against double/multiple includes should be in the file you don't want to include multiple times? The way that part is worded seems a bit confusing.

I've posted about SHA1_Pass here on HN before, but thought it relevant to this thread, so here it is again: http://16s.us/sha1_pass/ It's an open-source, portable password generator. No ads, no gimmicks, no password storage. The basic pre

Seems there is no idea how it happened yet. Perhaps a weak password... so weak that it was easily guessed? That would be my first bet.

The entire purpose of the portion of the law (DMCA) requiring valid notices be sent to registered agents is so that notice is given to the correct person at the organization so that swift action may be taken to investigate and potentially r

I was once the registered DMCA agent for a large organization. All of the registered agents are listed on the US Copyright's Office website so that rights holders can look-up the names and addresses to send notices when an IP address within

Off-topic but I thought it worth mentioning that Microsoft's Autheticode code signing (used to digitally sign executables) works just fine with the gcc/g++ tool chain. Maybe Apple's can too?

I don't know the details of this specific system, but I have seen some systems that would break (utter and complete failure) upon password change. Some vendors would go so far as to threaten that support contracts would not be honored if pa

It's ironic that ten years ago many people (average consumers) thought that AOL was the Internet. Now they think Facebook and Google are. Ten years from now, it'll be something else and HN type people will still be doing their own thing as

The advice he gives about keeping your word is good advice. I try to keep my word, and I enjoy working with others who do. However, committing to do unreasonable things in an unreasonable time and then not being able to finish them is not s

This is why corporations give smart phones away at no cost. People pay for the phone many times over by giving away most all of their data and privacy to the corporation that gave them the phone. Most people just don't realize this.

Great story. You might market some to colleges and universities that have speech pathology areas. They would love this sort of app.

The thing I admire most about Perl is that the libraries written for it tend to be more complete than what I've seen in other, similar languages. I think this is due to its age. This may not seem important, but when you need a complete impl

My vote is for complete egotistical wankery... mostly because I like the sound of that. It fit's the fart-app/social generation very well I think.

Everyone at Apple who does security knows of Charlie Miller. The guy has a phd and hacks Apple products and wins prizes and writes research papers, etc. If they don't know of him I'd be very surprised.
