1. modifying the default configuration is fine: you do this for your web server (right?) so why not sshd? in fact, sshd is simpler to configure and i cannot think of one backward incompatibility in many years. disable what you don't need, t

the games factory is still underdevelopment, and you can download a demo of the current version: http://www.clickteam.com/eng/tgf2.php (i'm also a fan. an web games factory would be awesome.)

i agree it makes sense for web apps. but for apps installed in developer-untrusted environments, using app keys (and requiring their "protection"--good luck with that) is reminiscent of the dvd/bluray shenanigans.

am i correct in thinking that convertible notes can be thought of as a way of changing the equilibrium of prisoner's dilemma? i.e., by introducing a temporal element and rewarding early investors you avoid the equilibrium where everyone is

the DRM-like application keys leads to some obvious underhand scenarios. if the app key is compromised, the key is revoked and no twitter access. if you extract the twitter oauth key from a competitor's desktop/android/iphone/etc app and po

and you're not worried by CBS-owned last.fm or spotify? they seem very similar. what's the difference? i couldn't find anything on the page that convinced me to switch or use in addition to these. p.s., those side-sticking things are really

lsyncd does the brunt of the work. it uses inotify, which is a facility of the linux kernel, to tell which files should be copied. but i think there is a problem. inotify is not guaranteed to see every file system access. in fact, it often

with 2 prisoners the probability of success is 0.5, so you are correct. with 4 prisoners the probability of success is about 0.37, which is better than chance. (the probability of success turns out to be one minus the difference of two harm

the content of this book is a little odd: it seems narrowly oriented towards getting enough number theory to understand RSA, Diffie-Hellman, and elliptic curve cryptography. i very much enjoy a book with the same title but by burton: http:

instead of /proc/PID/fd/XX you can simply use /proc/self/fd/XX if PID is simply the pid of the current process. standard input/output/error are not necessarily character devices (as stated in the article). they can be anything (sockets, fi

i'm not sure what you mean by discrete. SO(3) (the group of rotations) is not discrete in any sense i can think of. some groups have a discrete topology, but not all by any means... are you referring to cayley's theorem?

oh? on a recent glibc: $ objdump -D /lib/libc.so.6 | grep 'int[[:space:]]*$0x80' | wc -l 447 what were you thinking they used instead? sysenter? iirc, this turns out to be slower than "int $0x80."

1. the system call table of linux and minix are very different. posix specifies the minimum interface (and i don't think it specifies what is and what is not a system call). linux has a lot more system calls than minix. the system call ta

linux was initially designed for just x86. that's the real reason it's complicated in this case: each architecture defines it's own system call table and dispatch, for example, instead of having a common one amongst architectures. other ke

the rest seems to be summarised as: don't wait for things you don't need to wait for. $(document).ready() can be a bit of a sledgehammer in terms of latency.
