Yeah, was aware of that -- was just trying to check if the CEO thought that a metric used to move around other managers could be applied (atleast in part) to the CEO too...or what he thought about that?

It seems like the first approach could be ripe for perverse incentives. How do you prevent that? It seems like what you are proposing is too simplistic (or maybe it works for your organization based on your hiring practices, but will not ne

Seems like he was trying to convey a message -- being a bit meta about the problem with the character limitation perhaps?

Now it is obvious that you are a lawyer ;-)

This is another thing that makes you wonder why companies expose APIs to their services that enablenothers to make competing services.

One of the problems with micro-kernels is that everyone re-invents abstractions over the basic kernel services. Micro-kernels might be useful in some subset of cases, but it is still useful to have an OS layer above the micro-kernel at whic

When you say "TCP Stack", you in general are talking about the layer that actually implements the bits and bytes of the TCP protocol. Why is this the "TCP Stack"? It seems to be essentially showing how to do socket progr

This is blindingly obvious when someone points it out to you, but not so obvious when you are actually working on multi-threaded code that has shared data. Whenever you have performance issues, the issue more likely than not is shared data

I see it as voluntary servitude in the hopes of making a lot of money. AFAIK nothing stops the employee from simply walking away (i.e. going back to his home-country).

How do you find using libclang for parsing (and I assume for indexing the source code) -- at one point I was considering writing a C only text-editor that understood the code using libclang for parsing, but was worried that there would be t

What's it developed in? C++ and Qt? I found it pretty fast, but it was buggy (and for some reason jumped to the same file/line number) on the goto definition selection. Maybe indexing wasn't complete. But it's really sna

Yes, of course, you should. If your boss takes it properly, you will have a good outcome. If your boss takes it lightly or improperly, you know what you should then do.

In this context, this report from 23andMe is interesting....perhaps old news: http://blog.23andme.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/5-N8XiOLk...

Actually it is a fantastic platform for businesses to reach out to people interested in their business. It is the easiest way to do the equivalent of cold-calling and introduce your business to someone you are interested in selling to. I ha

One thing I've learned over the years is that sometimes people who succeed are sort of ignorant about the scale of the problem they are trying to solve -- they succeed over tremendous odds. It's not correct to think everyone sees

Winpcap it seems like does not support capturing raw 802.11 packets and instead presents a pseudo-ethernet interface to the packets captured on WiFi adapters and it only presents the actual ethernet packet to the application using it (not t

libpcap does not support WiFi AFAIK (or maybe Winpcap doesn't)....does libtins depend on an underlying driver on Windows for WiFi support? How good is the 802.11 support on Windows?

That is like telling that most of a billionaire's billions are not really worthwhile to them and that they are uselessly "squatting" on them when instead they could be put to good use by someone else. One's possessions l

I doubt that he is going for wordplay. Rather, he is trying to convey that it's not the price he is talking about when he says "free", but "freedom". And it's a simple example that makes the distinction and sti

Unfortunately it is just the inherent complexity that is troublesome -- there is a steep learning curve to get up to speed with Rust and I am worried that the barrier is too high for most people to climb up -- either that or it will take a

Interesting insight with the "engagement wall" concept, but I wonder if following this idea means you spend more time in "viral" features without adding meat to your product basics. In the long run, you really want engag

Yep, C++ is complex too, but we've come to that complexity incrementally over a long period of time...

Sometimes I think that the complexity of concepts in Rust will prevent it's large scale adoption for even it's intended uses. You can't blindly use features, because you get tripped up on the compiler and to understand what t

I think, things like this work even if you know the underlying mechanism in the pricing strategy. As an alternate example, my realtor regularly keeps in touch with me by email, using new letters, calling me on my birthday, etc and even thou

Is there a reason not to have that trace? And does it only prevent listening via the headset jack, but not on the phone's speakers?

Alcatel is not in the phone handset business anymore -- it is just the name that is being used by other manufacturers (perhaps TCL).

The farmers are getting no "Federal" water. I don't know what exactly this means -- presumably the state too supplies water to it's farmers via various water-works projects (your 2nd link indicates that farmers relying o
