Averages alone don't give you the full picture; surgeons can rack up >$250K of debt which is probably about as high as it goes (the average medical school debt for 2015 grads was $183K, mind you). On the other end, plenty of young

Well, as Google continues dumbing down their search engine, there's certainly room in the market for a search engine with the same kind of power that Google used to have... ...but that being said, DuckDuckGo ain't it. It's in

It's sad they didn't learn from other libraries making similar transitions from public to private structures - introduce accessors, introduce a build macro to mangle fields so code building against these fields generates warnings,

No it does not. But, with some hand wringing you could probably write a Gtk+ GtkLayout-based widget that used this engine to do layout rather than box packing or ebassi's constraint stuff that's going into Gtk+ 3.89.x/4.x. ..

If you write a quiz like this, and "Don't Know" is an answer but "Undefined Behavior" and "Implementation-Dependent" are left off, you're doing it wrong.

DSL6540s are $10 in 1000 quantity if you're not Apple. If you're Apple or another OEM integrator, you can probably get Intel to give you a pretty healthy shave off that even. $15-20 bucks to make all four ports Thunderbolt is noth

As a VMware developer, hehehe, you're funny. As a user of a modern web browser, yeah, 8GB by default isn't going to cut it anymore. Browsers leak like sieves and routinely I have to kill them once they hit 10+GB. 32GB is not even

As much as we want to blame individual consumers, a lot of this problem goes back to Big Box Retailers. In many, many places there simply isn't a choice - you go to one of either Walmart or Kroger or Safeway to get food, because that&#

It's really, really simple here dude: Either they're keylogging, which has to be done client side , or they're not. Which is it? I linked you to the client source code. Tell me where in that source code you see a keylogger,

by awalton 10y ago
I'm not sure what kind of hard stuff you're on, but a claim that AdBlock Plus has a keylogger is a pretty damned bold one, and you're going to need to back that up with some heavy duty proof. Here's the codebase[1], feel

Nothing in that comment said you can't do whatever you want - it said, quite specifically, it's bad form to do it, and then explained exactly why that was the case. Plenty of libraries break API/ABI all of the time. Notorious

"Console port" in the gaming world unambiguously means "a game that was originally developed for a console, then ported to the PC." The opposite would be "PC port."

by awalton 11y ago
Trusting the client works on consoles since they're locked down. Porting that same idea to PCs gets you into trouble almost instantly. Hence my question - is this a console port gone horribly wrong?

Console port gone horribly wrong? I mean, how else do you violate the most simple of game rules - never trust the client?
