I don't think that dpritchett was talking about open source vs closed source work. He was talking more about NDA-covered work, which could be on open or closed source code. For most of the "normal" closed source work, it's easy to say that

Why should I have to do that, outside of work, in order to get another job? I'm happy with my current work, and that means that I'm not trying to go out of my way to find additional projects on the side. I have hobbies I'd rather be doing

>So. Yes, its practical to build Git in a higher level language, but you just can't get the same performance, or tight memory utilization, that C Git gets. That's what that higher level language abstraction costs you. But, JGit perfor

Because it moves you to a whole new circle of hell from the very common C preprocessor one that every C developer on the planet has been in at one point or another. If you're using VS, you're going to want to use the included pre-build step

Why not just make an internal API function? In my experience with high performance, multiplatform C, macro usage is usually the last thing we do. Macros are absolutely horrendous to debug, and tends to lead to less readable code. They're

It could be a shot at Samsung, with regard to all the lawsuits between them and Apple. That's about all I've got.

Who is the distributor? Is it Google? Is it HTC/Samsung/Motorola? The FSF has had issues with defining this before, like with the iOS VLC application, where some of the developers felt that having a link to the source in the app as well

Who provides the bandwidth and hardware for the cloud? Hint: It's not twilio. It's companies like AT&T, Level 3, Amazon, MS, etc.

Even then, AT&T is a Tier 1 internet backbone provider, giving them a substantial advantage in bandwidth costs compared to any startup.

If this is true, it will be more of a shot at Amazon than Apple. The Kindle Fire is an Amazon table that runs Android on the backed, not an Android tablet with Amazon features. Also, I'm honestly not sure if Google can actually sell an iP

Whoops, forgot the quote. I was responding specifically to the line: >So, the buyers would come with their own current violins and I would put my eBay specials AND my kid's $5,000 into the mix for the blind sound tests. The $5,000 viol

This is pretty much why I can't believe that any serious musician would buy a musical instrument for over a few hundred dollars, sight unseen. There are simply too many variables to make that kind of purchase worthwhile. If the buyer isn'

Here's the Dell Streak's pin configuration: http://www.streaksmart.com/2010/07/dell-streak-doesnt-use-sa... That's not the same as either Apple's or Samsung's. Samsung's connection is a mirrored version of Apple's. Here's a comparison o

What benefit is there from changing functionality that's worked for decades and not documenting it? This is core Ubuntu functionality that they changed, and they did not document it. It's not disruptive. It's just idiotic.

I agree. That's what stopped me from solving most of them in time. Fiddly errors in my solution stopped me with the rest.

Google provides a set of numerical codes for you to print out and store in case you lose your phone. They're all one-time use, and allow you to get in and change the settings.

Whitespace does not control program flow in C. It only is used to separate tokens. It is not used to control program flow(like coffeescript and python). Note that: int a = 0; and int a=0; and int a

Sigh. This is pretty much a classic case of "THE INTERNET IS NEW AND SCARY". Assuming that Charnel's claims are accurate(that counterfeit goods were being sold), then the standard procedure 20 years ago would have been to work with law enf

Out of curiosity, what would you do if the client got to this point, and your team determined that it was a fraudulent claim? Obviously, if it's legitimate, you would have the ability to fix the issue right away. However, what if there wer

Linux is a bad example. It's not "community" development by any real definition of it, because Linus controls everything that goes into the mainline codebase. If anything, it's community maintenance, because that is delegated out. More im

Which is the exact basic use case for almost all modern source control systems. Git doesn't do anything new or unique for that use case.
