Nice, as of this morning, I couldn't get video out of my mid-2012 rMBP after about 20 GPU Panics I've reported over the last week. I imagine they must have thousands of them coming in as they start to fail.

In Canada, property taxes are assessed as a fraction that results in the city budget being met within constraints. Rising house prices for YOU vs. everyone else would result in higher property taxes, but a rising tide lifts all boats. The c

The claim you made was > Easily 99% of roads were built for the operation of cars. Which is what I was disputing.

Zikes is incorrect. It is not "easily 99%". http://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2013/apr/16...

I can see numerous ways. Selling a piece of (previously developed) software in Bitcoin is an easy one. The software will depreciate over time, but we're not talking about something that has to last forever, I don't think. Automate

Do you know this? It seems obvious to me, but calling it a "0day" suggests that maybe the attack is (at least marginally) more sophisticated than the obvious correlation attack. Not to mention, as far as I can see, we have no idea

Not if the text of the canary is "we have NEVER received." That is the point. Otherwise intra-period of updating you wouldn't know either.

This is my understanding too. Real canaries die in the wild for reasons unrelated to the signal it intends to send. The canary in this case is basically a date of claim.

What if I were to gift it capital and have it simply collect interest/dividends from the exploitation of said capital (either via loaning it out with an algorithm or by building a profitable business with it)?

This is my experience benchmarking the same as well. That, combined with a bug in SPLFixedArray that results in it acting like a non-fixed array past some size, makes it very difficult to consider PHP for anything that requires high perform

To be fair, his "get things done" attitude is a big part of why PHP is so popular. It avoids all pedantry and nerdiness (even when it absolutely shouldn't), erring entirely on the side of "let's just get something w

He is wrong [0] in his interpretation of copyright and the BSD, but I think his wishes for his code should exceed his misunderstanding of the relevant law. Further, I think this is a patent (application?) on M3, which is what he is wanting

Of course, it is still an interesting question of whether it would be practically stable in Postgres or not.

It is widely claimed (in comment threads) that many tech. companies directly or indirectly operate this sort of targeting here. I'm not certain there's any evidence of this though.
