That's actually a common logical fallacy that is often used to deceive observers. The truth stands alone, just like the cheese.

r=red, o=orange, y=yellow, etc.. No problem there. What does K equal in hexadecimal? Well, it isn't defined for hexadecimal. K=20 is only defined in Base 21 and above. Other than me? Hah, nice cheap shot, pole ;-)

Literally? A tutorial for noobs should be literally accurate -- throwing around non-proper representations is just a cloudy lazy explanation.

0xreadbook is not hexedecimal and disqualifies this whole post from any kind of intellectual redemption. Try 0xDEADBEEF,0xBAADF00D, or any constant listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexspeak

It depends how much capital the entity you steal from has. In the case of Goldman..well you don't want to fuck with the Gold Man...he's got quite a hammer.

Lots of stuff wrong with what you've written: * I made an analogy, of course it isn't a virus - it's information that would have the possibility to wreak havoc if in the wrong hands. * Nothing has happened to Snowden yet othe

It's not watching a place, it's watching a platform/utility with fine-grained categorization and structure of information. I'd compare it to holding the ebola plague in a research facility without publicly providing the

If the difference between passive spying and active spying is 'WHERE ssn='XXX-XX-XXXX', I don't think your 'difference' argument holds any water.

Right then why would you ever even use this library instead of a typed byte array? ASM.JS isn't needed for typed arrays, besides its only supported on FF.

Could you elaborate? I don't see the application, JS is still ghastly slow in comparison to C.

It's all good mate, it happens to the best of us. Being objective is tough to maintain when writing pieces out of passionate opinion. I thoroughly enjoyed the article and do think your advice is mostly spot on except towards the end. I

.NET is also so slathered up with dainty object boxing that to claim a .NET coder could easily pickup assembly is more than laughable.

That's not how it works. There's a reason unintelligent folk stick to one thing, it's because their aptitude does not stretch well across multiple venues. Programming is like chess, most good chess players play bughouse, lose

Was just about to post this. Also, IB is great and constraints are easy to manage once you realize that it's a calculated ruleset that enforces unambiguous constraints. The iOS framework is beautiful, and the author favored Android mos

OP is referring to programmer in the same vein as someone refers to an 'artisan.' You wouldn't call someone an artisan if all they do is manage the inventory order from Baked-Cakes-For-Fakes. There are far too many 'prog

The framework is glorious, the underlying user-base code can still be utter horse shit. Any programmer that doesn't know assembly is worth his weight in basic.

This 100%. It pangs me to see people call themselves .NET programmers or iOS programmers. You're either a general programmer or you're a class act. I know about 20 languages at this point and they all serve me well. You can bet yo

Unless you know low-level programming, you're not really a programmer -- at least not one that won't commit a whole host of errors and mistakes. Know your hardware, know your assembly, know your C, and know your higher level langu

Another such dilemma is lecturing vs querying. In the quest to explore the topic of Righteousness vs Pragmatism, the author becomes deceivingly director-like. It'd be more pragmatic of him to explore the topic without spewing out one-a
