Please forgive me for the bikeshedding, but I have a quick question as a C novice: Is the equality check in the following necessary? if (foo & 0x80 == 0x80) { I thought if you're checking a bit simply anding would be enoug

Nice sample size you have there. There are many extremely insightful comments on the programming subreddit, and there are also many empty, predictable comments on HN. I bet many people here can guess the top comment on particular threads ba

The attacker (most likely) wouldn't know the phone number, so the user would have to recognize that the text prompt isn't displaying the last 4 digits of their phone number like it usually does. Then again, if you're already oblivious to th

You're completely right. I was too focused on the fact that 2FA doesn't text you every time you log in, meaning a 2FA user wouldn't find a google login prompt without a text code requirement abnormal. They couldn't login from their own mach

2FA is great, but it wouldn't save you here if you ask it to remember you for 30 days.

Technically it is "reading music", but it's so slow that learning a piece takes much longer than it should. Over the years I've had a couple motivational spurts where I felt like playing piano again, and lack of frequent exposure to sheet m

Ruby != Rails, but we hardly here about Ruby without Rails, and Rails does have this reputation.

This is really good information, thank you very much.

I much prefer "Why I" over "Why you should" or "Why everything you're doing is wrong".

I was part of a poor family growing up. I received many letters and packages from upper tier schools after my PSAT. I got top 5% in the nation for math, so that may be why. I didn't take them seriously, though. Now I'm at University of Texa

You may be surprised how much a bad professor or tutorial can derail someone. Almost all concepts seems "obvious" or, HN's favorite word, "trivial" once you know it! But getting to the "a-ha" moment can take varying amounts of time dependin

Just because you understood it great the first time doesn't mean everyone is like you. I was turned off to C for a long time due to how awful my teachers were at explaining the concept. My first time being exposed to pointers was in a binar

I have 28" monitors, so I had to do some command line configuration to make the tablet respond. It may feel like the appropriate sensitivity out of the box on a smaller screen. There was also no GUI configuration last time I checked.

For those who hit a wall with C when it came time to learn pointers, I'd like to plug a YouTube video I made that people seem to really like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkyWCOUY8V4 The terminology may not be completely accurate (alth

If you bring a copy of the ISO you can have them all on starting from the same Virtualbox install (takes 5 minutes to set up without knowing the software + Ubuntu installation time). But I've heard Vagrant is good for use cases like yours,

I dual booted for about a year, and then I used virtual machines instead for the last year. Using virtual machines has been a LOT easier. I use Lubuntu on Virtualbox, and I don't plan on going back. Things that annoy me about Ubuntu dual bo

I can't control having my feelings hurt when people go out of their way to do so. I can't rationalize my way out of it. Sometimes I just have to feel emotions I don't want to feel.

I like using both. Sometimes a screen tab just isn't enough separation.

I don't know who you are, but this comment embodies the bad side of HN. "You" is in the above comment 15+ times - it's so personally insulting and unnecessary. Belittling some stranger's worth to their team is unproductive, toxic behavior.

I like this a lot. I hate dealing with the gh-pages orphan branch, so this is definitely something I'll look at implementing.

Those all sound like some form of fear to me. 1 sounds like fear of incompetence: You don't know how to solve the problem, but that's just because "you aren't really thinking about it", so you protect yourself from the idea that you might a

I associate my performance in everything with my own value as a person, to an absurd extent. If I'm playing a multiplayer game such as Starcraft or Street Fighter and I make a mistake, I can't help but think "Wow, I'm really stupid". It's s

It might not just be you working. Sure, use things that you understand. The problem comes when you aren't even aware you don't understand due to subtleties you may have not encountered yet. Then you do some debugging, do some googling, an

I'm sure you've heard of the EasyMotion plugin. If you're like me, you probably found it to be overkill. I made a fork that limits the EasyMotion effect to the current line (with some slight adjustments), and my efficiency navigating the cu

Of course, security is always an issue. I kept everything as simple as possible to reduce the number of ways an attack could exploit my site. I don't believe it to be any less secure than your standard Wordpress site.
