Been there. I had several EULAs drafted and/or proofread by lawyers. Inevitably, they feel that if they don't add a bucket of legalspeak, they weren't earning their money. When pressed if this or that wording really needs to be that contriv

I have released several projects under conventional multi-page licenses, covering everything from not suing "licensees of data providers" and force majeure (that may or may not be different from the acts of God). This time around I have a s

Amen. I have the same setup as you - vanilla vim, barely customized and the development pace is hardly any slower than when I use Visual Studio with all its auto-completion, deep syntax parsing, etc. I saw Jonathan Blow (of Braid) saying th

That'd be an obvious assumption to make, but I've been using both IBM and Lenovo versions and I frankly don't see much of a difference. Any concrete examples?

There's no point in checking it. If another user is running an executable that you have full control over, then you can make him run anything you want anyways.

They probably use a proxy/stub process that uses the .exe that doesn't change often.

Took me a couple of days to figure this out, so I thought I'd share. I also looked at the option of launching the program in a way that doesn't lock the .exe. For one, it's complicated. It requires creating a process in a Suspended state us

I know it's different, meaning that I have to do some basic arithmetics to get the log line age. It also requires me to roll my precious eyes to look at the local time in a system tray. It's just all too tedious.

It's for the cases when you are in a different timezone than the server. When the log says "03/Mar/2013 09:24:13 -0800" and it's 13:50 where I am, it takes me a while to understand how old that line is.

If I read ts source right, it merely prepends the current time to every line it echoes from stdin to stdout. now is different. It re-prints current time once a second while waiting for the input. You basically get the running clock at the

No, not the MITM. A simple denial of service - I can terminate your TLS-over-TCP connection at will by sending a FIN or RST packet. More generally speaking, I can alter the state of your secure over-TCP connection with an unauthenticated pa

I'll tell you a dirty little secret of the protocol design. Say, you want to design a protocol with reliable delivery and/or loss detection. You will then have ACKs, send window and retransmissions. Guess what? If you don't follow windowing

Wow, this is such a simple and elegant idea. Might've been a bit more practical to build it as a story-hiding extension rather than a separate site. And I just happen to have such extension and... oh, look... it's under the BSD license... h

I am too very curious about Fridays, but I suspect it would require getting the time of the day right too. Send it too early, and it's pre-weekend morning stress. Too late - and everyone's already gone for the day. PS. I don't know why I pi

What I wanted to share was the fact that there was a noticeable difference to begin with, so it's something worth paying attention to. The exact pattern will depend on the audience. If it's VmWare emailing IT people, then the open rate is

Excellent, I see. So you are saying that if I had 10x the data, then the Saturday opening rate and the Sunday response rate could've been completely different?

I wonder if game publishers/developers seek or accept external funding to back up a specific project? From what I understand there are, for example, ways to invest in a motion picture, so it's not a big stretch to assume the same can be don
