I don't agree. It's perfectly feasible to properly research the topics you're covering, lots of newspapers do this, and they get it right. Getting a complex technical concept slightly wrong is fine (pull to edit), but 'r

If you were using an email client that executes arbitrary HTML, you'd be owned since a long time anyway. That'd like using a browser that doesn't have any cross domain security boundary - it's just not a realistic attack

by Nitramp 13y ago
Note that your HTML email client is responsible to prevent XSS from mail, so while this is a bit ugly, it's not a security issue comparable to XSS in a web page.

For example, i.e. you need to know what $scope-like params are "supposed to contain" on every function that uses them. You should never write code that communicates through $scope objects and expects certain values to

I'd take a second look at Go. It has a number of innovations over C# - and of course also a number of shortcomings. It's quite a different language, much more so than Java compared to C# (1.0 even). A couple of things of the top o

I remember a professor teaching parser construction and trying to explain the various sets (tokens, states, actions, followers) with triple nested set notation in mathematical notation. E.g. {x of {y of {z of Z| z > 0} | y != x | ...}. C

Well, Q allows you to attach an error handler with catch: bla(). then(something). then(someOther). catch(ohNoes); First, this gives you really bad stack traces, essentially you have no chance to figure out w

I've written large applications in AngularJS, the dirty checking is generally not a problem. If you write complex directives that need to pass non-trivial data structures around, you have to know what you're doing, but it still wo

The one sign for impending bankruptcy, sellout, or similar forms of doom: desperate last measures by top management to raise the stock price, presumably so they can make a last profit. E.g. SUNW changing its stock symbol to JAVA just before

Patents are, by definition, public. That's actually the telling sign of the dysfunctional patent system. Companies want to use patents to prevent everybody else from doing something similar, and in this case, even from just talkin

by Nitramp 13y ago
In many cases, companies cannot give explanations for such actions. Either because they'd be sharing private information, or because they'd be helping spammers/defrauders/... to figure out detection systems.

Is that your actual experience on a Google hiring committee, or are you guessing (can't tell from your comment)?

*it's almost impossible to transfer teams before you've spent at least 1.5 years on that team.* At least you admit to that problem. Yes, that is correct. Actually, I've seen two people transfer teams in their first couple of

I think "levelling the playing field" is a very dangerous assumption. You're not levelling the playing field - the person you are thinking about fighting is a criminal. He will have much less restraint in using force than you will, so he'll

Having a hot standby/failover is nice, but of course only the icing on top of your backup strategy. I read the article same as the OP, it doesn't mention any backup system, only the mirroring. In fact, they did restore from a replica that w

Do you have a citation for the story, are you sure it really were Czechs? It seems a bit over the top. The Czech Republic is right next to Germany, so even before the fall of the wall, they had the ability to watch Western TV, and also gene

They are using it to make sure the value doesn't interfere with the syntax of HTTP headers, i.e. for escaping, not for encryption. That's exactly what base64 is for. They simply have no encryption at all.

What is he comparing to? Arguments #2-#5 & #7 seem to apply to Java as well, and #6 just quotes an extremely lopsided benchmark exploiting one specific feature of their C# implementation. Most of the arguments would apply to Objective C
