Assange is holed up in a secure embassy on foreign soil. They would need to break and enter in order to kill him which would be difficult and likely to start diplomatic issues.It's harder than you give it credit to kill someone cleanly

Not a chance. They would charge him with whatever they could find - true or not. Probably in a secret court no doubt.

The Facebook token isn't an issue, that is how Facebook authorization works. Recording single player games and then sending them to other users to work as fake real time multiplayer games seems like a very clever move and is probably t

You can make good arguments in either direction - either having a single generic type (a class) that fits all of these concepts, or having specific types for each of those concepts. Having just a generic type gives the language some useful

Great. Now he knows two different languages and still has no ideas on what to use them on. Terrible advice. The correct time to learn a new language is when your current one isn't meeting your needs or when you've completed enough

If you're looking for a good strategy game, check out Dominions 4. It's probably the deepest strategy game around and is very thematic. http://www.illwinter.com/dom4/

If you think of classes as namespaces and not objects (which is what they are half the time), it becomes a bit saner. Pragmatism makes the world work. You can still write functional code in OO. Heck if it makes you feel better, you can just

Bitcoin is most similar to gold, so it's not surprising. Gold based economies also underwent severe deflation [1]. This is definitely a good thing for bitcoin as a store of currency (that is what it was designed for anyway), but it wou

Surely something as complicated as Cassandra would not benefit from these features being added in randomly from a developer willing to accept such low amounts of money? If these bounties do get met, the contributor is not going to be mainta

Hardly IBM and Microsoft. The headline should read "thanks to easily bought senators". IBM and Microsoft don't have any real say, only the senators do. If the senators choose to destroy their own country for monetary gain, it

I think you've hit on the exact issue here: it's not that anybody disagrees that their coders they are hiring need to be able to do tree traversal. The issue is simply that we have given a complicated name for something very simpl

Let's try to reconcile your three facts: Average is positive. Microsoft up a bit more than the average. Apple down incredibly more than the average. If most decent stocks went up by about 40% but a few stocks like Apple actu

No, HTTPS only. So probably only Google or the NSA, I guess.

Did a bit of digging - it lets NACL apps downloaded from those whitelisted Google apis have access to "dev interfaces". Brief search shows that these dev interfaces would have the ability to access the user's PC outside of th

Definitely back to Firefox. With all the non-standards compliant features that have been built into Chrome recently, it's a lot slower than it once was. Plus the less support Chrome gets, the less chance they have of destroying web sta

Ugh. Sounds like the next IE6 is here... Can't wait to log into a bank that demands I installed Chrome to use their new 'security' or some web apps that won't run in anything but Chrome.

Well yeah, as he says, he uses his own services. This is a sales pitch and making it simple to understand makes it easy to pick out flaws and have potential customers actually think about it in terms they understand. He doesn't want th

Yes, final is only 'shallow immutability' and only ensures that the reference itself is immutable. This is the only part that applies to closures though: the reference that is accessible from the closure. Full immutability is left

by RyanZAG 13y ago
Yes, spot on. For your original code example, the Java compiler would have failed with an error that the variable 'i' was not declared final (immutable). Java 8 supports lambdas now, but in earlier Java versions you would have had

The approach Java takes to closures, for all its faults, makes it so much easier to avoid this kind of accident without having to double check all your closures every time. Java only allows 'final' or immutable variables to be pas

Surely maintaining a single build file for enormous code projects worked on by many different teams would cause more harm than good? The paper writes this issue off as 'same stuff in one or many files, same complexity', but obviou

That's a nice position to be in. Disolve some of your shares: investors take $70 million, you take $30 million. Everyone should be very happy. Or if you still have runway and believe in the business, keep going and raise that $100 mill

Instead of paying employees half market rates, those employees can go and work on creating a VR app that could be used by millions of people, or some other opportunity. And they could receive full pay. Why should these employees need to rec

You're right and this is the actual measured risk taken by VC in this case. It's a straight forward bet: if the horse they are better on (snapchat) is given enough of an opportunity (money) to implement far better than any potenti
