Have you? Linux is gorgeous! Plus this thing is meant to evade governments; you can't expect something this hideous to be audited, and used, and for others to trust their lives with.

No need to be defensive, this really is crappy code. It's just one big file of hot mess. Clearly, the author is better at home breaking software than making it. And it's fine. He or she also has certain amount of artistic leeway

Been there done that. 3.5 years of Play 1, but they decided to rewrite it in Scala and I left in anger. Nearly one year now of servlet dev, trying nearly anything I can get my hands on. Most I have been satisfied with is Restlet for service

I thought it was a clever logo, given the subject matter (i.e. compilers producing object code, even MS compiler has (had?) *.obj as an extension for output)

Read your company's info@ email address; all sorts of training consultants are lurking there.

No. I have never known anyone that uses UML, outside UML coaches.

That was intellectually honest. Good read.

Is this an attempt at sarcasm, or just good ole ageism?

Security researchers are social animals. There might have been a hint on IRC or mailinglist somewhere, and the other team got on it.

Responding to the public hysteria; they couldn't take their chances, they would have been crucified if even a single incident was reported, because they had "forewarning". Steve Gibson did to raw-sockets what Jenny McCarthy d

The research papers are there. There is even a paper reading group. The project appears to be the synthesis of a few "attractive" design choices, combined into one. So each of those things has its own paper(s). Not uncommon in com

Oh yes, he has been around for long. But he lost a bit of credibility after his wolf-cry when he campaigned against the inclusion of raw-sockets in Windows XP, alleging hackers might use it.

Run, don't walk, and get "An Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning"by Peter Eccles. That will open your eyes to mathematics, as done by mathematicians. After that, anything by Serge Lang. He is a first-rate mathematician and

Nothing in the article suggests we interbred with them.

You read way too much into my comment. I wasn't trolling. My position is that if you're involved in computing in any capacity, you will have to learn countless formalisms and languages. And S-expressions are on the more accessible

Why would reliance on Lisp be an issue? It's a basic requirement. Lisp can be learned in 2 hours. If you can't spend 2 hours learning some basic rules, you have no business dabbling in computing. Lisp resistence is a phobia, a pro

Typical data journalism. Find someone with better data and a better article, and appropriate it.

Coffee is to Type Script what indentation is to type theory.

Surprisingly, most "hacking" tools actually hack their users, instead of hacking on their behalf.

off-topic: but can you update your profile to say "formerly known as 'gruseom'"? I am irrationally attached to the old handle.

Riiight. Thank you. That answers my question.

That's what I get for reading diffs on a mobile phone at 11PM. But my concern does stand, OpenSSH does allow for multiple declarations on one line in their style guide.

Wow! Thank you. I didn't realize there were such legit programming podcasts around. Any other similar ones I need to know about?

by mahmud 13y ago
Is it you or openssh that declares two variables on one line (int result, ok)? I hope it's just you, because that's bad practice :-/

Oh agreed, analytics is everybody's business, but even more so for higher-ups. Specially for an organization like MLB, with a tall org-chart.

Someone done goofed. Google Analytics and other KPI chew-toys and gadgets are what keeps executives busy while people get work done. This will not go unnoticed.

I wouldn't admit to that publicly, if I was you.
