Google is ranking by date because they have the same relevance. You can play with the date ranges in the search box. I picked Jan 1 2007 as the end date because you said you "NEVER" saw this construction in text until a "about two years a

A canary is also a random value placed on the stack so the program can detect a buffer overflow. If the canary has been overwritten the program can terminate before malicious code is executed. I suspect a significant portion of Hacker New

I always am running the VM anyway (Linux guest on Windows host); it's not like I started it just to browse. Just saying if you feel the need to block yourself programmatically you probably need to do so on all routes by which you can reaso

I tried this last week but found myself browsing in a VM so finally decided to just not fight it. So if you do want to try this, make sure you block all possible ways you can access the sites (various browsers, various VMs). Kind of a pain

Are you by any chance not in the U.S.? I've always gotten that error message trying to get to blog.facebook.com (from Japan). Go in through some U.S.-based proxy and it ought to work.

Interesting that CodingCrypto and hashbreaker (who tied for 2nd place but lost the coin flip) were the same team. This wasn't mentioned on the Engine Yard blog. Also, this story is cute: Paul noticed the contest and brought Dan and Tanja i

Are you sure? AFAIK the earliest LISP (1958) supported lowercase, PDP-1 (1960) had lowercase, the ancient SAIL keyboards (1960s) even had Greek letters on them.

Right. Plus as a matter of style, assertions are traditionally distinguished from error handling. Assertions are used to catch programmer errors; error handling is for when something happens that is nevertheless within the contract of the

I don't know where you're getting this idea that equality only makes sense on numbers. In set theory for example, {a,b} equals {a} union {b}, we don't say it is "identical to" or "equivalent to", it IS the same thing. But we don't necessa

I heard only 2 very short sentences (8時に起こしてください and 8時に犯してください）. Even if it's just accent we are considering, you need longer utterances to be able to accurately assess whether it is passable as native. If you listen to a language learner

Unless he started speaking it at the end, he spoke way too little Japanese to be able to judge (I stopped watching after the language part). He does have more info about language acquisition on his blog, FWIW.
