I sometimes use the "pomodoro" technique as a trigger, a way to beat procrastination. Often I have trouble starting to work on a problem if I'm unsure about what to do, I think it's similar to writer's block. That t

I find it amusing that each dining strategy is associated with an economic one, implying that they have similar advantages and inconvenients, except for communism. Was suggesting that communism is a viable economic strategy a bit too much f

So now publishers must determine what is legal or not. They must do the job of judges as well or better as them or risk the very very high penalties attached to copyright infringement. This can only lead to defensive postures and extensive

He patches two instructions, or 4 bytes, removing the check entirely. No need to "crack" anything. Seems like a pretty simple solution to me. You'll also notice that the code checks for the certificate length so I'm not

Pretty interesting read. I'd like to know the answer to the 3rd question at the end as well, microwave manufacturers must have known about this all along since the doors embed a chunky piece of metal with small holes and not a lightwei

People claim that Oracle is abandonning JEE (which is true) and that this is killing Java (which the author disputes). The author argues that JEE is too monolithic and that monolithic frameworks are falling out of favor in general so abando

I hope you forgot the pronoun in your second sentence. Otherwise you have no place telling others what they should feel concerned about just because the weather was pretty nice in your backyard. Not to mention it is incredibly short-sighted
