I think it would be really effective and tongue-in-cheek if EFF released their app on Cydia.

Until there is a bank that can credibly hold onto BitCoin deposits, these sorts of things are going to hinder further the viability and credibility of BitCoin as a mechanism of transaction (Mt Gox seems to have done a ton of damage). As of

How does being a wildcard improve your chance of safety? There's a good chance some won't recognize it as such--elderly drivers have a slower response time.

I think the biggest concern about cyclists is the I-don't-give-a-damn attitude (entitlement). I understand the reasons to run a red-light when safely clear to do, but when the action affects other users of the road, such as on a busy

I didn't say motorcyclists aren't a wildcard. To be honest, I see motorcyclists often being pulled over for being unpredictable and think it's a good thing. However, motorcyclists do tend to stop at red lights--which can&#x27

As a motorcyclist, I think cyclists should be held to the same rules of the law as other vehicles to make driving predictable and safe. As it stands right now, I have to assume cyclists (via heuristics/profiling) as a wildcard--will t

Wouldn't a smart criminal rely on digital or paperless means to carry information or value (BitCoin)? Use electronic statements (and fake mailing address when requested), etc? I'm just trying to understand the point of mail survei

Just a small nitpick: I'm pretty sure the NSA has access to a CA to make it look legit.

Just wondering, does this work with Windows API apps using WTL headers? This could be pretty amazing if that's the case.

I wonder what operating system they'll use on their mobile devices. Can't use Android--made in the USA.

I wonder if they'll have the Clang static analyzer running in the iPad or they'll parse the syntax through a server. In the former case would be really awesome, and possibly doable given the static analyzer is open source. Wonder

You're right--if it can't find memory within the heap, it will invoke a call to brk and it will allocate it from the OS and thereby invoking a syscall. Apologies for my lumping of malloc as a syscall :)

It's great to see resources like this popping up. When I was in school we used the Tanenbaum book, even if it was heavily skewed to his belief that microkernels were better (Torvalds and Tanenbaum fought in an epic flame war). At the U

I'm Chinese American, and I don't agree with your statement that string libraries are Anglophile. How would you encapsulate the 10,000 commonly used Chinese characters? It's just the reality of having a lot of characters in

Honestly, I think it is platform politics. *nix systems seem to prefer UTF-8, while UTF-16 is the default on Windows. Space and memory are cheap, so either encoding seems fine. The bottom line is that UTF-8 is awkward to use on Windows, wh

We constantly have to deal with Win32 as a build platform and we write our apps natively for that platform using wchar. I think the main difficulty is that most developers hate adding another library to their stack, and to make matters wors

Writing code on paper was a practice I initially resented when taking CS courses at University. However, it made me a better programmer, because it forced me to think about design and data structures first, then about the code. Let me be cl

Windows C++ development on Visual Studio is composed of a lot of tribal knowledge. I am surprised WTL isn't even an officially supported framework, while they leave their ATL and MFC kits rotting in neglect.

I've gotten into Saison SF, Carbon NYC, Le Bernardin on short notice with this app. Hopefully, will be of use to you locals or tourists going to some awesome food cities!

Thanks :) I'm working on improving the UI a little more, as well as provide a little more clarity. It's checking OpenTable every minute (and will attempt to book it right away if it's available) even though the UI doesn'

How about verifying at a later time, and granting access temporarily? At some point they'll check their email? Does this strategy work? And if they typed their email address incorrectly, maintain a cookie to point to the account and al

These days not being able to sit still is considered a medical problem, when the truth is that it's just boys being boys. In fact, probably those who are bored more easily are engaged at the difficult to solve problems and games. When

In truth, some of the content on Wikipedia is sensitive and would brand the site in more than one of the blocked categories. While not strictly pornographic, Wikipedia does get quite explicit, including entries and descriptions for things l
