And usage from Bulgaria increased seven to eight times [1]. This is really strange, I don't know anybody who uses tor on purpose. My money is on a bittorrent client connecting automatically. [1] https://metrics.torproject.or

Well, it is efficient if you want to minimise the number of people who aren't star programmers with hard heads and don't care how many star programmers with manners you turn away. If your supply pool is big enough, you will have g

You're a CEO, a business owner and your own boss. I'm from eastern europe and maybe things are too different here, but I don't see how that would ever mean unemployed.

Well, I don't know what browsers you guys are using, but on my laptop running linux and firefox 22 with an Intel Core2 Duo, my browser became completely unresponsive for some seconds and then only responded extremely jerkily until I cl

I think the takeaway here is that the literal meaning of "literally" is useless. If you are having a dialogue, you'd just tell people you were not speaking hyperbole, you mean exactly what you say. If you're writing, you

Actually, I was presently surprised that the answer was not the resounding "no" I expected, but instead a "kind of (for a layman's definition of cure, for a certain kind of cancer)".

If this treatment proves 100% successful against a given kind of cancer, and the procedure is developed to the mass-production stage, I would imagine we'd start getting cancer. Then you'd only get the tiny initial tumors nuked and

Wouldn't the 3 shears method take a preposterous¹ amount of memory if you rotate by something like 180 degrees? The first shear will take a w.h image and output a w.h.h one! Why not simply use Bresenham's line drawing algorithm to

Something else I'm interested in is if somebody has ever tried using Pierce's projection for texturing spheres or doing environment mapping. It seems like it would be perfect for the job - it's square so it would fit perfectl

But what about the people investing in these companies? Money don't grow on trees and you can't make money without products to sell.

Today I spent 5 hours staring at, stepping through some callback-heavy code, reading HN, browsing the web and about an hour to write, test and deploy about 20 lines of code fixing a really nasty race condition. And I'm still not comple

It's still badly. You get sunburned, lose consciousness due to lack of oxygen and die.

The only movie mistake was something Clarke later claimed would never have happened had he been on set that day: Bowman is seen apparently taking a deep breath before opening the pod door. Hah, I thought that was just a tick. You would ta

Maybe some sort of spray-on rubber that cures on contact with air? You'd get naked, put on your helmet and enter the spray-chamber that will coat your body thickly and evenly.

You need C++'s RAII idiom or go's defer syntax to get the same behaviour though. I think try-with-resource in Java also would do the same thing, maybe. Just plainly throwing an exception won't release what you've acquire

for/while are themselves syntactic sugar around goto. You can in fact write them as macros or even functions (using setjmp/longjmp) in C. However, the abstraction in that case will leak - you'll need to put your label manuall

Can you give me some citation on that? I can believe it would be the case, but such an arrangement sounds moronically greedy.

IIRC, there was a presentation by Valve where they complained that even if you don't do a keyboard grab, some window managers do it for you when you request a fullscreen window. For an SDL2-using game, I tried BrütalLegend and alt-tab

I meant in the case when the network is saturated. If I've bought a link that only guarantees N concurrent connections and I'm over that and the link is being saturated, then I would expect to have some of my packets dropped. I gu

My point was that internet is not the same as those. Generating the packets costs nothing and moving them down the wire costs nothing. Whether your router is passing packets at top capacity or it's staying almost idle, it's consum

I would not buy a metered connection. It might end up costing me less than an unmetered one, but cognitively it weighs more as you said. I want a flat-charge XMBit/s hard limit, which translates to a total theoretical maximum of ZGB&#x

I won't buy your connection. I would prefer to be more severely bandwidth-limited than total-traffic-limited.

Your datapipe will be limited in bandwidth. You WILL have to slice pieces off it for your users. For what it's worth, all ISPs here (south-eastern Europe) word it like this: - Xup/Ydown MBps for connections within the country (i.e
