you know. That little endian big endian story was meant to be a warning, not a guide. Zero works. One works. Zero works too.

it's funny, I know I shouldn't upvote that, but I appreciate that. So here's a comment.

Right, see. When you say "Relatively easy" do you mean: "it is just subtly easier that compromising the NSA itself" or: "I'm surprised it doesn't happen every day" because I think you meant the former

those numbers don't look good at when you take a look at what those two classes of people are doing. ie. 1. is targeting you specifically, 2. is bot targeting everyone when presented with two options, thinking of those options as 50:50

I never understood that comic. You would think preventing traffic reaching a website would be harder than tearing down a poster. edit: Wrong direction.

That's going to end badly for 4chan, as every post requires you to fill in a captcha. The daily routine for a 4chan poster will constitute solving that captcha 20 to 30 times.

Personally, I'm looking forward to a more official rendition of the "Mario and Luigi are high on mushrooms" theory.

You might be surprised to see the degree with which you can assert behaviour using typing in haskell. Given the strict environment it presents. Types in Haskell are used not just to represent data, but represent data as it is transformed an

based on experiences by previous clients, they would not refund the money.

I've said the same thing, unfortunately. All the resources I've seen for Haskell start the same They are insanely easy to follow at the start, so simple that even first time programmers won't have much trouble following. Then

To be honest, I like the word hacker as it stands in its nebulous state now. It serves as a reverse shibboleth ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shibboleth ) for geeks. Signalling to those who understand it, that they are

That is a very good idea. I would love to see astroturfing be punishable.

that is a legitimate counterpoint. though in a dickish format, to be sure.

What an effective display of the issues I have with art. Only a few people want these pieces, they are worthless in a vacuum. Only when shown in the context of "These pieces are by legendary artist banksy " do they become valuabl

Well no one was gonna make the top comment snarky after he complained about how the top stories in Hacker News always have snarky comments. That's just letting him win.

I can understand not paying any mind to linux for other developers. It's a mostly unused platform for almost all demographics... except actual developers. This is not the kind of application I was expecting to "not support linux&q

It's like they narrated the script with a TTS engine, then got an actual human to mimic it.

You are wrong to judge his skills this harshly in this domain, he introduced the only thing you needed to know, and he stuck with it the whole way through. It's unstated actions that have to be intuitive, but this page outright explain

It's not truth, it hits residential users all the same. As much as we nerds might wish it, you don't deserve to be extorted because you don't understand computers.

I primary use linux, but even I feel threatened by this. This is Sony's rootkit all over again. edit: never mind, I thought this was novel. Never heard of ransomware before.

Are you sure about those numbers? That's massively expensive, and it's hard to imagine ever even being profitable. If you charged your users 60 dollars a month at a minimum for access to that line you'd still need a minimum o

Yes. It is certainly more pithy. ACTUALLY! It reminds me of a technique Bisqwit used when he made his emulator. He used strings to define the behavior of certain instructions, the strings were actually interpreted at compile time. Though I

... So... not optional. I find the way some people are thinking in this discussion to be very off putting. It's like you're saying the demographic of people constituting your primary source of income are exceptions. That I can thi

If I can add as an aside, both yours and Drew's arguments are interesting reads. Both of you are arguing well. To add to the data, the dedicated fiber line at our business goes for ~$700 and is 500 up 500 down (in Canada, BC). that sca
