I can answer that last question... there were not many girls in engineering. There were a few (and they were cute and I worked with some getting their Masters) but the Arts and soft sciences were loaded with girls. That's why I got a BA r

Stay in the industry, just stop coding 100% of the time. Project mgt, IT mgt, focus on security, scalability (or other hot topics that really interest you ) and code some on the side. Too much coding will kill your love for it. You need ba

Reading the article, it talks of Cyber Army and Cyber War. Reminded me of a quote from this months Crypto Gram: "... in what the media has mislabeled as 'cyberwar.' The attacks against Estonian websites in 2007 were simple hacking attacks b

After getting use to the STL containers... I could never go back to pure C. I use C++ daily and love it. Nothing against C (if that's what you like) it's a great little language. Why is it that C programmers bitch about C++, but C++ program

Someone holds it for him, but they are of legal age, do not work sweat shop hours (they work in shifts) and they pay taxes.

Any idea on the percentage of cracked passwords one would need to win the contest, or at least be competitive? I was thinking 20% (about 10,500 passwords) but that's just a wild guess. Also, some suggestions on what hash types to focus on.

Yes and these containers are built into C++ so no need to role your own.

It's authoritative knowledge such as this that makes the Internet worthwhile (if you can find it among all the garbage). I had no idea what drowning was like before reading this. Thanks for writing this blog post!

I used to optimize algorithms in the boring classes and write programs that I wanted to better understand. Or learn other languages when I was bored. Dropping out because you are bored is a bad idea. I met other bored kids doing the same

Millions of cores would be useful to a handful of "bright" people. It would not hinder them at least.

Right, but with a well-written distributed brute force application, it could probably get through a lot of password cracking. No need to break AES-256.

If I was asked this question and I could express the answer in C++, then I would say list::reverse. It seems (to me) that more important than this question is knowing when to use one data structure over another (pros and cons) is more impor

I'm not sure C++ coders are hiding. They are in plain site in many industries. Yes, compared to today's scripting, languages, C++ is hard (but not impossible) to use. There are no soft, rounded edges to protect rash programmers who make inc

Try boost::unordered_set. You'll average O(1) time. We just converted an app that was using binary_search on a sorted std::vector to boost::unordered_set and the time difference was dramatic, especially on larger containers, but slightly sl

We recently switched a C++ application from using a sorted std::vector and std::binary_search to using boost::unordered_set. The performance improvement on large sets (millions) was dramatic. unordered_set really does average O(1) time comp
