The TV channels really should buy more Russian TV series and overdub them. The Russians have made tons of movies about the war with fascist Germany (and its aftermath because it did not really end on VE day) and there was a lot of torture u

A good lesson for those of us who have had the idea of building a similar app to generate one-time passwords. Now we have a better idea of the minimum that needs to be done to build such an app securely. Thanks.

If you have a boss like that then you could always form a habit of saying the "if" part first. If we just deal with the issue of X and solve the Y problem, then yes, we can most certainly do it. I have some ideas on how to deal wi

This is yet another reason why startups should avoid Silicon Valley. Years ago, the investment climate in SV really was different than elsewhere but that has now changed. Not only are there tech VCs and Angels in other US cities, but they a

To me locking means waiting which means greatly reduced performance. That is the whole reason why event-based systems like NGINX and node.js are so popular. Look at the first slide from this talk by Professor Michael Stonebraker to see why

Just like with Python, why would you even care about the GIL? Writing single multithreaded apps with low-level locking hardcoded everywhere is now quite clearly NOT the right way to build software. If you don't use locks, i.e. only use

This article is actually a great example of how to logically approach a problem, decompose it into its components and address each one in turn. In this case the author is applying the process to architectural decisions but the process is ju

Python is so big and diverse that you won't get any clear answers to this question. In fact I don't believe that anyone could possibly give a definitive answer. The fact is that Python is not a single language (PyPy, IronPython).

You won't find someone playing NBA basketball in their 50's. But you certainly do find highly skilled software developers in their 50's, and much older as well. Intellectual skills are not tied to age in the same way as physi

Imagine that the KGB informs Putin that Edward Snowden is holed up in Moscow airport. What would Putin ask. Probably, "What information does he have that we could use?". What would you as a KGB leader say to Putin. Probably "

Don't forget to factor your age into the equation. The more years you have left to invest and/or earn more, the less you really need. And don't forget to think about your skill with money too. The younger you are, the longer

I only took a year of Latin but I found it very useful in understanding my own language, English, as well as helping me in learning French (almost bilingual) and Spanish (competent). But the biggest benefit was that when I learned Russian,

China's biggest challenge is ecology and with that, natural resources. It is a mountainous country with human habitation mostly in narrow valleys except for a few large river valleys and deltas. And it has too many people. This is like

Empire is built on the back of military power and political influence. America's military power is in decline, but more importantly, its political influence is tanking. So the end of empire is here. At this point it looks like Russia w

Effectively, these people are saying that the U.S. government has been overthrown in a coup and that the plotters were so successful that they have been able to keep it quiet until now. Reminds me of something Putin said in an interview wit

Those are the Ecotopia borders I believe. It would not be a bad idea to hand over an area east of Sacramento to be joined with Nevada. As far as naming goes, Silicon Valley sucks. Silicon Valley is too small to be a viable state economicall

They don't say what they want. Why can't they say something like "We have developed 5 or more web apps using J2EE technologies and we want to upgrade them to Spring related technologies. 30% of your time will be on upgrading,

Amazing that for so many decades under so many leaders, the American intelligence services have relied on the oath of allegiance to the Constitution to preserve secrecy. The Brits do it right by making people sign the Official Secrets Act w

Why do you call it "software engineering"? Do they try to follow SEMAT? SWEBOK? If not then they probably are just software hackers and do not deserve to be called software engineers. A real software engineer is someone who follow

Async is an important category that deserves better coverage. Fundamentally, REST and the alternatives (SOAP, etc.) are all RPC protocols. They may make use of the RPC nature of HTTP or maybe like XML-RPC they shove another RPC layer on top

Applebaum has access to stolen information, but what proof do you have that he is in possession of it? Given his background with Tor it seems likely that it is just stashed somewhere in the cloud.
