I think there's a change happening, some new cars can be started by button-press when the transponder (replacement for the key) is somewhere in the car (e.g. in your trousers' pocket). And then, of course there's the other as

What annoys me the most: They only include one year of data before. So, assuming they would have shown US and California data for, say, 5 years before legalization, and during that time, there would have been a strong correlation between th

Yes, the deadlock fix really is appreciated. I had to turn off compression on all my machines :-(.

The rationale behind using MTP is that "in the old days", the android device had to unmount its "/sdcard" partition and hand over the block-device to the PC, that mounted it just like any single-partition usb-stick.

It's not that bad in practice ;-)... Let's assume random distribution of used features among your customers. If you shoot randomly at your users with a 2% hit rate [alienate them by dropping a feature], your user will stay with yo

Obviously no one can defend this decision with the labeling non-issue while keeping a straight face, so time to guess: What they are probably bitten by is the issue of ext4 actually keeping proper uid/gid associations with files. The o

Certainly it depends. One one side, if your input data is read only once or a few times, introducing any intermediate binary format will often not be worth it, and optimizing reading the ASCII is the way to go. On the other hand, if you hav

Well... that's a pretty drastic reasoning, leaving aside all weighting of facts. Does it also apply to a Haskell programmer running System.Process? ;-) The fact is: system() and all it's relatives (popen comes immediately to mind,

It's certainly bash's fault! First, and foremost: user-provided data has been passed in environment variables since the stone-age. That's why, for example, we explicitly guard against LD_PRELOAD'ing a shared library into

There are two things to differentiate, in my oppinion. In most cases, the shell is just used to find programs in the PATH when a C programmer uses system(). And for that case, which is probably 99% of the time when /bin/sh is bein

I feel your pain, though the first two things you mention will never be improved by vigorous application of assembly code in software, and actually I'm a big fan of interpreted/scripting languages. E.g. your start-up time of Win 8
