My support folks have only terminal access. Sure, they could tunnel pgadmin in (via SSH) if they knew how and even what they are doing. As such they are stuck with command line only.

Informmix isql tool used to have a form mode, where one could: * select table or form from a list, hit enter * then a form with all fields would show up * one could populate some fields with query condition, e.g. name = 'xyz' * th

Paris taxis are pretty bad in my experience. Try getting one to drive you to the airport at 4am or Sunday - you have to order one a day ahead. Fortunately folks at the Paris office always had a friend taxi driver who would help, but this co

Not so easy to do. As usual, there is a risk that such legislation will be abused to let people who are trying to break in to a system for malicious reasons, claim later it was research. A decent law would require researchers to register wi

Which really means that when it crashes again (and it will one day), it will be deeper than before. I own a house in Atl that I bought while it was still in a slump. It's value went up, so I should be happy, right? I guess I'm stu

I file it under "funny" but certainly it is nothing unusual or surprising. Software, like anything else, has faults and breaks. Even on an airplane. It mostly is funny to us, developers, because we have all been trying to convince

Yes, otherwise - when keys travel with secrets - there would be absolutely no security. This is akin to disk encryption where you have to type password on boot, but then data is accessible later.

Ah, yes, you are correct. We built our own fixed point library.

by limaoscarjuliet 12y ago
I really want to disagree. Assuming the code is correct: - proper handling of system calls and EINTR, - do not call illegal functions in signal handlers, - proper synchronization to avoid race conditions, - etc. it will work just fine.

Nope. Once the sync was lost, you were playing two different games: player A on machine A is in room 1, player A on machine B is in room 2. Resetting rand sequence would not correct the introduced error. The only way to correct such error w

I am one of the authors of Fire Fight game, which had the same multi-player model as Doom. Main source of multi-player sync loss was a different number of rand() calls between machines e.g. a different animation sequence for own character v

General population easily dismisses food processed and prepared by large corporations. Vomitoxin, feces, infestation, insect damaged kernels. All bad. People want natural unprocessed food... I was born and raised in Eastern Europe. Thanks t

Using good passwords (i.e. alphanum, case sensitive, perhaps with some special characters) in end user deployment is a support nightmare. Imagine you are trying to tell such password to user over a phone on a support call. The 10 digit numb

$5 says they used self-signed certificates, which are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attack. Funny how I have to explain it to customers and implementation team that this will eventually happen.

Yes, idiocy. It likely has more to do with fear of liability rather than political correctness thoguh. I imagine some future student going through "emotional distress" reading works by a "predator" and suing the MIT for

So if not Angular then... what? If I wanted to do a single page app with REST backend (little to no db access), what would you recommend?

And pretty fair. The company says: we know you will suffer, we can help by giving you some extra $, in exchange please reduce our pain and sign this so we can avoid liability and lawyer expense in the future.

Rsync seems a better tool for this. Can be run multiple times and it will just copy missing blocks.

I had the same problem with Japanese folks. We had our system working all over the World except Japan, where it would crash every morning. Turns out the folks in Japan come in to work and at exactly 8:00AM they shout "HAI" hit log

The 1 million was what was proven in court. We do not know how much money him and his family got that could not be proven. E.g. his daughter could work as consultant in company X that is controlled by someone who owns the prisons. etc.

Do you need some real, immediate help, as in food and other necessities? Do not have millions to spare, but can help with some things. How can I contact you?
