This looks sweet! Exactly what I was looking for. One tip though, the "Start course" button is so grey that I thought it was unclickable. http://i.imgur.com/CsBRWMB.png

Is rust very geared towards writing network applications (like Go is to some extent) and lacking in other areas, or would you recommend it as a general language? I'm always curious about new languages, but my needs are mostly in maths&

"Applicants must pay 195,000 roubles to enter the competition" This seems rather bizarre... ~$5500 cannot simply be a symbolic sum to deter idiots.

Thank you very much. This looks like an interesting market to experiment with :)

Oh, I didn't know betfair had an API, that's interesting. Do you know if there exists an open source implementation for any languages, or do you roll your own?

I wish this was possible, but ~80% of my friends are reachable almost exclusively through facebook. I too use facebook only for the chat because of this.

Interesting.. I hope the generator function is non reversible? I.e., if you know the password ("qnQTs0-QO-9osX-me4)M" in this case) and your policy, could you find the master password?

It might have been repeated ad nauseam for ever (at least in Norway), but I think there's some truth to the suggestion that we just have it too good. As someone graduating university with a masters degree in CS soon, and seeing the ridiculo

Norway has unions for IT-workers. The union base pay of around 470k NOK (~52K GBP, ~80K USD) is pretty much guaranteed straight out of university if you have a masters degree. In general I think it is a good thing, although I dislike the bi

I don't really see what BitMessage provides over TorChat for example, other than being able to deliver messgages when the sender is offline. It's a much easier protocol, and much less that can go wrong.

Where are these cypherpunk mailing lists? Is there any where I can subscribe?

Absolutely. You can even run it of an old WRT54GL with OpenWRT or the like if you have one in a dusty cabinet.

How would you discern what is popular and what is not(that is, the "upvotes" of reddit/HN)? Or did you mean only machine learning?

Good point. I guess I'm partly missing the point of the competition, and missed the fact that the entry could be anything(?) and does not have to do with something directly Netflix-related (either customer facing or operations).

It really depends on your usecase. I've been hosting simple Django-based websites for clients (think 500-1000 uniques a day) for some years, and couldn't be happier really. There has not been a single issue, and the prices for that kind of

We didn't really do any benchmarks that would permit me to actually say it has the performance equivalent of anything, but I was probably not alive when the last "equivalent" system was made. This was purely an educational endeavor. There w

I had a "business plan" doing this once. Letting people connect their browsers to some page and get paid for it, with other people paying for the cycles. I figured the demand wasn't there, and that you'd have to make it so servers could par

Good idea :) Perhaps submitter should be able to score feedback as helpful or not, so people can't spam asdf on every site to gain "credits"?

Have you tried dia? It works great for most if not all of my needs at least. It even exports to tikz if you want!

It doesn't really help that 'please' is categorically misspelled as 'pls' either...

I guess what lrem is implying is that this equipment is "payed for" by allowing the Chinese to spy on the citizens/government/corporations of the recipient country through backdoored Huawei equipment as hinted to by the article.

I don't know how it works in the US, but in Norway most online banks can only be accessed through a Java applet where you enter SSN, password and token-code. Extremely frustrating since whether it works or not in Linux seems like a function

This looks rather interesting... Does any fully server-side solution such as varnish have any similar functionality? Seems like a no-brainer.
