I think both articles are just pretty much copied from the now hidden Stack Overflow question.

I hadn't heard it before, but it's a great term! I know one multiplayer Flash service has a problem where their server clocks had drifted apart, and it caused all sorts of crazy issues. Took them a couple of weeks to figure it out and fix t

Hee hee, I'm a fan of #8: 8. Heisenbug Source: Unknown A computer bug that disappears or alters its characteristics when an attempt is made to study it. On the other note - I personally think most online communities tend to get more lenient

Is there an API to generate a room? Or do all embedded rooms have to be made manually beforehand?

Moderating any online community is extremely difficult. Rules are generally guidelines and not always set in stone. So, this leaves things up to the discretion of moderators. It can be quite difficult to determine if something is or is not

Tornadoes in the midwest and earthquakes in the west. You're doomed. Seriously though, as horrible as downtime is, I think most internet users aren't terribly surprised when they can't go to a specific website for a short period of time.

While not a Clancy thriller, I appreciate the well-written insights from this paper. I don't know the author yet, but thanks to him for taking the time to write this.

I actually haven't been a huge fan of any yet. SublimeCodeIntel hardly works for me (I use Sublime mostly for Ruby). Is Sublime Linter any good for Ruby?

If I was using a Mac, this would seem to have the same features as Sublime and more. Not sure though, haven't tried this one out obviously.

In my opinion, using unique passwords on every site you use is perhaps the key to keeping yourself safe. Facts: 1)Most people have way too many accounts to keep track of passwords for. 2)A unique password is essential. So, get a password m

Well, that's why you should use something like bcrypt and not a fast hashing algorithm. When you intentionally use a slow algorithm, it's much harder and slower to generate these tables. With no salt or a common salt, you can generate the h

And the fact that the teacher saw the flaw with the test and appreciated what you wrote. A teacher/professor who is unwilling to be wrong is the most dangerous kind there is. This teacher clearly was not one of those.

I think Mathematica is designed more for engineering/non programming folks. You would think this shouldn't affect people with programming backgrounds, but I also have felt Mathematica seems much harder to learn than some other languages.

On that same site I found this slew of recommendations: http://my.galagzee.com/ergonomics-recommendations/ Thought I might as well link it here for reference.

My only real method is to turn off my modem, which has problems in itself, but is actually pretty effective most of the time. But now that I just bought the Humble Bundle, even that may not work :D

Darn, and here I thought open source projects were supposed to be free. I think the pay what you want model would be appropriate - and I think that may be what Granger hinted at, not sure.

Sounds like a good idea, I think I'll give it a shot.

I don't normally do that much gaming, but I may give it a try. Question 1: Can I run the games on a laptop with an intel i3 and no discrete graphics? Question 2: Is it okay to just pay a dollar or so to start, and then pay more if I actuall

Sounds like a good idea. It's weird how JS is a step back in time compared to Flash, yet is so rapidly modernizing. One other little problem I noticed (on FF13) is that if I accidentally held the down or up keys for too long, my browser wou

I do think the ruby (coupled with rails) toolchain can be a tad overwhelming at first to install and get used to. I haven't used Ruby a lot, but I do like most of the language. I have a few issues with how some things are named, but whateve

Cool game but quite buggy. Sometimes a snake went through me, another time the opponent rammed into me and it was a draw. If we can have 3D shooters online without these problems, I would think a snake game would be possible too ;D Anyway t

It's actually a square interestingly. Just glancing at it, I felt it was taller than it was wide. Had to measure twice to believe it was a square :D

I've never been a fan of video tutorials myself. They always seem to move too slow, too fast, or some of both. Obviously videos do have some advantages over written tutorials, but if I had a choice, I'd pick written. I didn't actually watch

I hate the favoritism people show to companies. Whenever Apple (and normally Google) come out with something, people go crazy just drooling to try it out. However, when Yahoo came out with Axis, I saw people saying things like 'Why doesn't

Seems like Windows should just include both. The flat look as a default if the prefer, and an option to change to the aero look.

Windows 7 already has this feature too - if you drag a window to the edge of the screen, it snaps to take up half of it.

I'll miss it. I thought the glass was a nice touch that wasn't too gaudy.
