I'd say code readability is at the level of a Node.js application.

yeah, one request in german with an attached zipped "passport copy" which extracts to an .exe I don't want to know how often embassy employees actually open such .exe files.

Is that true about that they won't sell to everybody? I've been playing with the idea of buying a IDA Pro license recently. Has someone more information about that?

So this guy takes open source projects and puts them onto the android market to sell for profit? This isn't an ethical thing to do. Good thing Google kicked him out of the market.

This is really neat. I'd be also interested in the reverse: modding the firmware, packing it up and flashing it onto the device.

the gawker network (which the io blog is part of) replaced their CMS with some hell-brewn javascript CMS some months ago. their blogs are rendered with JS now - which means without JS you will only see an empty page. oh, and the performance

don't worry. you don't need to be a bright mind to do this - you only need to know hot to lie to convince people to link to your spam site. the technical difficulties of such a site are somewhere between hello world and an irc bot.

you often need parts of a compiler in other projects. be it parsers for config files, implementing your own regex engine, to evaluate mathematical expressions users put in, parsing natural language input, etc. it's nice to know some compile

Makes me jealous as a techie in Germany, where our rich and famous show very little interest in startups. ;) I guess California is just a notable exception to the rule.

> objectively-bad I guess you're confusing objective and subjective here. I think semicolons are nice - they make reading code easier. And the "extra" typing isn't really that much work. But that's my opinion and so it's subjective. I d

> you don’t need as many semicolons What is up with the hate on semicolons? Luckily I know scala but if I didn't and someone would try to sell it starting with that argument I'd get very suspicious.

I don't know if such bosses exist. Many of my programmer friends would like to make their stuff opensource but their bosses (companies) forbid it. Though it's mostly really useful but not "trade secret" stuff.

by leon_ 15y ago
Hmm, I went the other route. Instead of contributing to other projects I opensourced mine. Maybe someone might find them useful. :)

I think this is a way to trick/force people into twittering about it. If you twitter/follow, your acc will be processed within 2hours they say. I did and my acc was ready within 5 minutes.

Warning, some spoilers ... I don't like this kind of tests. I always stumble upon questions where I wonder if it's a trick question or just a typo/mistake by the test creator. Example: Function D will loop for ever if size_t is an unsigned

OAuth 2 is way less cumbersome than OAuth 1.0a. Switching from username/pass to OAuth 2 would have been far less a PITA than switching to 1.0a where you have to encrypt/sign the requests by hand. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4113934/

The last time I looked xAuth was not available for everyone. You had to request access to it and they often wouldn't give you the access. I didn't get xAuth for my apps so I had to go the OAuth way. And I believe only a few popular apps got
