Note that these California-style policies are also common, almost word for word, everywhere I've worked in Canada. (BC, Ontario, Quebec)

My sshuttle project is the best of both worlds between ssh -D and an ssh vpn. http://github.com/apenwarr/sshuttle/

It's extremely frustrating to actually interpret the information in this article and at its linked-to articles. The basis of this article's claim is that "music purchases" are up by 50% since 2006. Except, even ignoring revenue, a "music p

What do you do for including a subproject that already has its own Makefiles? For example, my huge build system includes a bunch of components, including the Linux kernel and a bunch of libraries, as well as my app.

When you say "may be linked into permissively-licensed code" what code are you excluding? I think libgit2 can be linked into any code, permissively-licensed or otherwise. https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2/blob/master/COPYING

It's GPL with a linking exception . That's a pretty big exception, since it means you can use it in proprietary projects.

I just used said stacktrace to find the problem. So... it has its advantages and disadvantages :)

That's not actually true. You can sign an app without going through RIM; they provide code that does it. (Unlike iPhone, you can just download an app from anywhere on the Internet and install it, as long as somebody has signed it with a

I took Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo. My class had lots of Asians (and other minorities), and to a large degree they beat the pants off most of us white people for grades. But that was the point of going there, I thoug

That would probably not help much here; you'd then end up caching pretty much the same stuff on node 0 and 1, so it would be like having two 32 GB nodes instead of one big 64 GB node. They would both be maximally fast, within the 32 GB mem

If you're trying to strdup() something you're not even sure is null-terminated, you're already doomed.

If you would rather use ssh than OpenVPN but still want the convenience of "direct" connections to computers on the other side of the gateway host, and you want to avoid the tcp-over-tcp slowness problem, try my sshuttle project: http://gi

I honestly can't begin to contemplate how you expect stdio.h to work (without writing extra wrappers) if you don't support macros and a preprocessor. Some of the "functions" in there are macros.

If your language isn't completely terrible, then you can choose to use a named function anywhere an anonymous function will do. The libraries can never force you to not give your functions a name or not put them in a global context. That'

I would have called it bottom heavy :) In python+C, every time something is too slow, all you have to do is push more stuff down into the C layer. You have control of the continuum between 100% optimized (100% C) and 100% clean and readab

That's no longer true; the linker has been massively extended to support templates at this point. (Otherwise every file that instantiated a particular template would result in all the code for that template being duplicated in the final ex

I've always found ssh's port forwarding to be unreliable; it freezes up randomly and seems to do synchronous connect(). It also doesn't do its buffer management correctly, so you get huge lag on other connections when you're using a lot of
