Not all crash bug can lead to remote code execution. A null dereference bug is a good example of that. No mater the context, you won't be able to do anything other than crash the software.

You can use services like VirusTotal to do a quick file check if you suspect anything. You can also check what services/program starts on boot (msconfig and services.msc). With that you can already have a good confidence level of not b

The problem is that the Q&A format is a very bad to ask for list of things. A "wiki" would be a much better format to have list of things that everyone can contribute to. Q&A is also a very bad format for discussion. Traditional for

Here's an other solution. If you simply calculate the first digit and length for N=2, you will see that 2233445566 has a length of 19 and starts with 4, 7788990011 has a length of 20 and starts with 4 and 9988776655 has a length of 20 and s

The idea is more about knowing the scale of time it takes to help compare different solution. With those number you can see that it's faster to get data in memory from a distant server than to read the same data from disk. In common applica

The problem now is that if you do it entirely with WebGL, you won't have as much people who can play it. WebGL support is still far from Flash support. It's however something that will change over time.

Just out of curiosity is there any difference with "Chrome Developper channel" and "Chrome Canary" in term of available features ?

I think it's a little bit early to say it's a triumph. Isn't the end goal to have an actual museum of Tesla at that place ?

With Flash you can use the RTMFP protocol to do the exact same thing (stream audio, video and data in P2P). It's just not a very known technology. If you really can't wait for P2P technology for browser you can check it : http://labs.adobe

It's not many things, if you look carefully you will realize most of what is listed can be rewritten with a CSS selector. For example ":button" is the same has "button, input[type='button']". They are mostly just shorthand and that's not ex

We have been doing at work with our web product for quite long time and it works well. Instead of simply showing a 500 page when an error happens and logging it, we also provide a link to let the user add information and comments about what

What's the point of compiling to CoffeeScript when it compiles to JavaScript ?

> JSX performs optimization while compiling the source code to JavaScript. The generated code runs faster than an equivalent code written directly in JavaScript. This is just absurd. It is claiming it will run faster than JavaScript ...

Your statement is mostly incorrect, the metric they use to evaluate the performance of a site is clearly indicated on Area51 and you can see the progress (or decline) on the proposal page of each website.

What I hate is the trend to overlook maintability of the code just to get something that will take less keystroke to write. People are creating new language in good faith and they want their language to look nice. I don't think anyone can d

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I hate with passion this trend to remove syntax from a language and call it an improvement. It may be easier to code, but the code you produce is often more cryptic and harder to maintain. The aspect of

localStorage may be slow for read/write, but it's very easy to mitigate the problem by doing memory caching and delayed writting. Also storing file in localStorage is a bad idea. There are better way of caching file (offline storage, expire

If you are seeing JSLint as a dictatorship, you are probably seeing those tools from the wrong way. Those tools helps you spot potential mistake and help your code be a little better. What they give you is advice, you will find that from ti

The thing with certificate is that you have to trust that the certificate authorities won't sell (or give) fake certificate to ISP or government. If they do so, the ISP can MITM you.

It's not really an "incredible sounding statement", it's just logic. What makes a program more bug prone is the amount of logic there is in it. If it takes you 1000 lines of code in language X and it takes you 500 lines of code in language

The thing is that it correlates proportionally and if you change from a more verbose language to a less verbose language you only change the proportion, not the amount of bug.

The experience that I have so far in the education system is pretty much that it kills creativity. To me one of the source of the problem is that most evaluation and work we do in school are made to be solved in one and only way. And when y
