I once made the mistake of trying to edit a 50MB SQL file in Sublime Text. It took about 10 minutes to open. Once it had, every edit I made, every line I scrolled froze Sublime Text for another 2 to 3 minutes. I can only presume Sublime Tex

Sounds like a really exciting opportunity! However, I can't open the link to your website. I get stuck in a redirect loop on your careers page between m.smakets.com and smarkets.com. Client is mobile Safari, iOS 8, iPhone 5S.

Can someone explain why this comment is being down voted? I think the author makes a valid point. When I choose my iPhone, my MacBook Air, my Martin acoustic guitar, etc, I didn't need a salesman to explain to me how great these produc

My projects thus far has been purely academic. I built a middleware for data gathering applications that need best-effort anycasting to the nearest base station. The middleware runs on ContikiOS. At present it is still a prototype. I need t

Impressive! How do you motivate yourself to go to the gym every morning? I tend to run in the evenings which is really nice now that the sun doesn't set until at least 9pm. I really can't cope on less than 8 hours of sleep for ext

I'm really enjoying developing software for wireless sensor networks. It's amazing how much you can do with 10KB of RAM (that's including RAM for the operating system too).

I would like to second this thought. I'm currently doing a masters degree and the examinations are very different to those from undergraduate. Rather, the exam papers are all about applying your knowledge and experience in order to sol

What happens when the cruft becomes so overbearing that you can no longer deliver features? Not only can you no longer deliver features, but you now have to communicate that the state of the system is unworkable and you need X weeks to fix

This summer I'm going to be working on an implementation of software based fault isolation for my masters degree. We are looking to sandbox a web server without the need to partition via processes and incur expensive interprocess commu

I see. But why is this a security threat?

Can you explain how ICMP is insecure? Is it just ping being exploited?

Virgin Media can't even expand that easily because they must lay cable in areas that weren't covered by NTL/Telewest infrastructure: and I believe is extremely expensive and time consuming with planning permission being what

I really enjoyed Reddit. I can't say I was ever addicted. It was mostly a tool for procrastination. But then suddenly it didn't interest me anymore and I just stopped visiting. Perhaps I grew out of it?

Does Golang support dynamic linking? I think a Hello world binary in Go is about the same size? I know I'm sort of comparing apples with oranges here.

Sorry if this is incredibly ignorant, but I can't believe flight control systems are running Linux? Do these systems not have hard real-time requirements about the execution time and periodicity of tasks which can't be guaranteed

I've been tempted to do something like this with my CV. However, I'm concerned that the use of icons and colours might be seen as immature, unless of course you're looking for a position as a designer: in which case it makes

Can anyone comment on how the author flooded HTTP requests to the endpoint URLs? Did he use developer tools in his browser and execute his own JavaScript, or use CURL in a tight loop with the cookie and CSRF token from his browser session?

I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 with GNOME Session Flashback: a sort of GNOME 2 for GTK3. It's Ubuntu how it used to be, but with the latest upstream features. I've been using it for about 2 months after I moved back from Arch. It&#

I've seen this a few times with projects I've worked on. I think what it comes down to is this: "despite the trouble I had with feature x, did the framework save me time and effort because 90% of the work (i.e boilerplate) wa

As someone who has read almost 50 academic papers in the last 6 months (MSc in Computer Science, we read a paper before class and then analyze it with the lecturer) I agree unanimously with the parent. Above making notes, I find that challe
