This sounds like a great list of the technical challenges for Kiln implementors (applause) and an awesome list of reasons for me to rationally convince my team (if I had one) to use the single DVCS. Anyone intelligent enough to use git or h

My girlfriend is Irish, and we went for the 2-day "tour" to Belfast this Xmas. The overall feeling was quite cautious and tense, and people looked at us as we walked around and sat in the bar. Less than a week after we came back, there were

Could it have been your NAT which terminated the connection due to inactivity ? Quite a few stacks have implemented RFC5961, which should make this attack rather challenging. (Though, I totally agree with the fundamental problem).

If you use EUI-64 as your interface ID in IPv6, your MAC address is part of your IPv6 address. That said, no modern OS does that anymore, times 1% of IPv6-enabled users, so the closer term is "almost never".

Thanks! yes, this goes to show the perils of coding after a 12h work day on Friday :-). This affected the use of fgets() I/O (I understood you have to call the line-buffered routines based on their description) Enjoyed reading your code.

I know it works on Ubuntu 64-bit. :-) Just that it appears to be hanging on MacOS 64-bit. The algorithms like this one should hardly have such a catastrophic failure - that's why I am curious if someone else can replicate it hanging on MacO

On my 64-bit MBP, this program does not terminate - at least not within the 3 minutes I allowed it to run. (the blog article's one completes within 4 seconds, so I thought 60-fold slack is enough). I did not debug it though.

Thank you! It was indeed a nice little fun exercise. It is interesting the bugs that I made by being tired and not reading the task carefully/not thinking clearly (yesterday was a bit of a long and stressy day): 1) My initial understanding

Hey Jacques, may ask for a code review ? :-) http://stdio.be/revseq.c Compiled with "gcc -pipe -Wall -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -std=c99 -pthread" on my Mac, it's about twice as fast at the blog author's version. Time spent: coding: 30 m

The double-click menu is a bit non-intuitive, but I think the issue stems more from the perceptual "flakiness" in its detection. Also, rather than showing a modal dialog once/doing it "under the paper", I'd track an incomplete save to camer

This is a fairly outdated meme by now. Just that the enthusiasts are loud about it. Everyone else does not rush tell the world about their plans - it takes on average about 3 years to get everything in place, so this is a pretty good head-s

In my conversations, the vast majority of the folks who are going to have to deploy CGN, also have already running programs to deploy IPv6. It's just that they don't necessarily advertise them, and also that these things take years - the ac

To be clear: transitioning to IPv6 is a two step process: 1) you need to enable IPv6 everywhere 2) when that is working, you can sunset IPv4 So, every transition strategy involves both the life support for IPv4 and the delivery of IPv6.

I thought you had in mind a totally new content delivery mechanism to fetch the data by hash from the network, relative to that adding the content addressability to browser cache is near trivial. Apologies if I misunderstood.

I think we already have this system - it's the browser's cache. Consider the following sequence of steps: 1) add the "SIG" values to the tags in the HTML page that have SRC attribute. Be it scripts, or images, or iframes, or what not. So fa
