So you don't understand why one should separate the discussion of LEGAL temporary/permanent immigration from ILLEGAL immigration? You are proving Bloomberg's point about the urgent need to separate the two.

Good point. I had forgotten about the PIN. But that's simply yet another password that amenable to guessing/bruteforcing/keylogging etc. The securid is not vulnerable to such attacks which why is why this crack is a big deal.

Here's my hypothesis for why they need to replace all devices. The securid tokens are basically sealed, tamper-proof etc hardware pseudorandom generators. RSA knows the seed burned into the PRNG for every device they manufacture. At custo

Interesting middle ground between Swig+(C++)+$scripting_language and pure C++. A key weakness I see here is the lack of a standard library for Chaiscript. If I choose to use my preferred approach of Swig+(C++)+Tcl, I get a command line REPL

You're mostly correct, but the code they wrote DID use fancy abstractions like hash tables, templates etc. C++ delivered on abstraction WITHOUT a performance penalty, which is what the C++ designers have claimed it could do since foreve

I love bitcoin stories. I've learned a lot about economics, crypto, and social interactions through the stories. No, I'm not being sarcastic, I'm sincere. One of the most useful things about which HN has alerted me. Keep them coming. I woul

You comment puzzles me. Hopefully you will reply below. Are you discounting the value of reversible birth control based upon your feelings at a certain point in time? Also remember that evolution has probably programmed children be "amazi

Sounds completely useless to me unless we up with a way to obsolete the "real" wallet (which I need to keep my driver's license). I'd much rather carry the programmable credit card that was posted here a while back. http://techland.time.co

Ok, I'll bite. Why did you bin the recommendation to use a password generator along with other "baloney" using the adjective "dismissive"? I guess it was directed at my comment about PwdHash. That seems like the only thing that would protec

Ok, I see how my comment could have been misread. Here's my clarification: You need take a step back and think about why it is bad that your password is stored in cleartext: if there is a security breach at site X, your login credentials ca

Don't see a mention of Pwdhash in the comments. That Firfox/Chrome extension would have protected you. https://www.pwdhash.com/

Umm, I think you misunderstood his point. I guess he was trying to make the point that a 110k salary will barely (if at all) cover the sorts of expenses he described. Which is actually true, unless you go through contortions like interpreti

I wonder if the AWS-Oracle license prohibits this.

by anonymous246 15y ago
Why should it be any different? Applying patches is likely the same effort for Oracle as for MySQL. If they hadn't done this, some startup would have tried to feed off the arbitrage.

I wonder how their checks compare to Coverity's and QAC++'s. I have a passing acquaintance with both, and I'm almost certain both would have caught the three bugs listed on that page.

It's not any one thing, but it's a lot of small things. When I last looked a couple of years ago, vertical split wasn't in screen mainline and so it was non-starter for me. Check out the list of tmux commands: it's a very powerful program

Who else thought the "designed in SF, CA" slogan at the end was a pathetic echo of Apple's "designed in CA"?

This is a super-unclean API, but that's just IMHO. We'll just have to agree to disagree that what you've shown above is an acceptable API for a vector module.

by anonymous246 15y ago
So you have a memcpy() call in vector_push? I wonder if that's less efficient than a straight-up assignment for small objects such as integers. The C++ equivalent can be further optimized during instruction generation by keeping things in t

I don't think it's because the Boost guys thought it "too hard". Having seen/used some of those libraries, I'm 100% sure they can handle the alleged "hardness". C++ in general values performance over safety almost everywhere (just like C).

Yes, several people have already piled on. But if the compiler didn't say "Equal", then I would be claim it's confusing/inconsistent. Are you saying that the funtion YOU wrote to convert C/D to a bool shouldn't be invoked when YOU are

It would help with dup detection if Google had a "push" mechanism for websites to upload their content to Google.

Umm, wasn't Google supposed to "Don't be evil" and care about their search result quality about all else? I find your defense of and apathy to hypocrisy disturbing. And oh, your post pushed a hot button of mine: comments by people who think

wrt "honest, legit reasons" as opposed to selfish ones: the deal was scuttled by a person partly in charge of Google VOICE , which would have surely gotten killed if Google had bought Skype. Looks pretty selfish to me. This is a very revea

My uneducated two cents: 1) The USA's economy is "financialized" to a much greater extent than Europe's. 2) Lots of "phantom" GDP in USA which makes US "productivity" and per-capita GDP look higher than corresponding Europe figures (it's no
