> Nobody says "Whom did that" Also, nobody suggests doing so would be correct. In "who did that", "who" is the subject of "did" and takes the nominative case.

It's more that user's expectations of Libc rng is flawed. I'm sure every book that covers a language's standard library discusses the built in PRNG and what it's limitations are, but somehow there are plenty of dev

That seems like an excessively negative analogy, and not especially apt given that these are books that were presumably published in some quantity.

Things like best practices become more important the larger the team. Are you suggesting the project would have been more successful if they had been less concerned about code organization and unit testing (or whatever you mean by "

Nothing about Turing completeness requires the presence of functions. You're probably looking for a useful language, but you'll have trouble making that criterion rigorous.

While protein folding calculations are useful, they can't be used as a foundation of PoW systems because there is no easy way to verify a solution.

I'm glad to see that new altcoins are making this sort of design decision. To me BitCoin's amenability to ASIC implementation is a serious design flaw (for the reasons outlined on that page).

Planets would have to align to make hoarding profitable for producers. Consider: - The firm would need to choose potential future income over current income i.e. not need the cash flow and have no good way of investing that money (internal

I think OP was asking from the seller's (interviewee's) perspective. $25 doesn't buy a lot of time from a software engineer. And from the hiring side it seems like you could easily justify a higher amount based on time save

It's a little early to be making a slippery slope argument. This is about employees of an organization that has actively worked to subvert similar related processes.

That's true in the long run, when its value has settled to something far less volatile than it is currently. Today, storing value in it is investing/speculating/gambling.

The prefetch may take the same amount of time, but the number of objects that it pulls into cache depends on their size and allocation pattern. If they are large or were allocated over time (= from different memory blocks) fewer will be pu

Umm, I think he was referring to the (purported) health benefits of a meat-free diet. The ideal amount of meat in one's diet is perhaps debatable, but I wouldn't call the claim "a massive load of shit" (both because it

I was thinking about that when I read the article too. How you've obviously done a lot of testing, but that the run-time's allocator algorithm is going to have an effect on this, and how allocating N floats in a loop will have di

A "ghastly hassle"? If I don't use this it's because I only carry a few cards and so I don't have the problem it solves, not because of the solution itself.

... which is why you italicized the 85% bit? But one is a percentage of people, and the other a percentage of problems. If I'm misunderstanding, it would be helpful if you explained further.

That's part of what's frustrating about the larger move away from version sniffing (e.g. jQuery no longer supporting it) and IE playing games with its User Agent string. I'm in favor of it in theory, but in practice there ar

No. In the big picture you're barely leaving the surface. 30km off a spheroid of radius ~6000km means gravity is essentially what it is at the surface.

I'd be worried about that too. First-mover has some advantages, but look at what has happened with Greek yogurt. I'm sure the Chobani people are doing well, but they weren't exclusive for long. Even worse outcome is Powerb
