I am not saying that the sec researcher is right here. I don't care about him, he is just some random guy who wants publicity. Talking about FB is more interesting because it is a huge public corporation which should behave smartly.

why would private keys be on any system somehow accessible from the internet? gotta put all in the cloud?

Sounds like FB acted pretty unprofessionally both in the infrastructure department and in handling of the situation. You had some embarrassing mistakes and instead of acknowledging them you tried to scare the reporter into shutting up and

The problem is right there in your response. Do I do TypeScript or Facebook's flow (whatever that is, I don't know)? Or perhaps CoffeeScript? Or wait, that one is not typed. Or is it? Lots of people like it though! Except th

The same thing is happening all over the industry. Things are growing organically in all kinds of directions, new technologies appearing at a rate and order of magnitude higher that anything that was happening 10 years ago. It is making i

"I don’t mind requiring two lines of code to accomplish what could be accomplished in one line if I can understand both lines." -- is very true. Even though I don't agree with some of the other things he says. I am not a fa

It's funny that you set Java aside based on something that it does which you do not need. I am not convinced that Go solves any problem that Java can't solve, other then it doesn't have a baggage of 20 years worth of bad ope

named structs and overloaded operators are very similar to auto in terms of poor benefit to risk ratio. Virtual functions are more intuitive and solve a problem.

Apparently it is a fake reverse engineering report to support a programming game which, i'm guessing, is about to go live? see http://www.kalzumeus.com/2015/08/20/designing-and-building-s...

To be clear -- it is in fact much better than I expected as well and we all appreciate the work that you are doing on it.

Flex is not Flash and Apache Flex distribution is not exactly a poster child of abandoneware surviving as an OSS project. Apache Flex releases are infrequent, not bug free and generally smell of death.

That is so [potentially] sad. I hope Thunderbird finds a nice home. Stupid Google, why did it have to kill Mozilla?

Moore's law is going to stop working soon but humanity keeps piling up abstractions as if we had an infinity of computing power growth in front of us.

It would be interesting to see a demo of some advanced colonies with an explanation of what is going on. It is not clear from looking at tutorial where to take this.

Main problem with Oracle is cost. They are changing the licensing structure for the standard edition which is going to have some major impact on our business. Enterprise edition's price is completely prohibitive even for a large comp

SSD drives contain multiple NANDs. So a well designed SSD controller will take advantage of that (including data striping, essentially turning your drive into a tiny RAID). Of course it is not clear how good your consumer SSD drives are a

I really really doubt that it can process a million uncached rows under a second. But yeah, I just tested an million was not a good example because it does take only a bit over a second on decent hardware. So perhaps should have said 10 mil

That example benchmark he has is weird. You'd probably want to test this one something with at least a million rows, taking more than a 100ms and probably actually returning some data. This sub-second difference can be attributed to

because while one worker is blocked by IO the other one is processing the results of the previous IO.

Here is slight twist on the problem: the new robot has multiple cores with shared cache and very accurate branch prediction so branching instructions do not waste any cycles. So "left, skipNext, goto" loop performs exactly as eff

Didn't it talk about transmission specifying targets to hit?

by meshko 11y ago
ok, hold on. Could these 1960s era missiles really be retargeted like this? I always assumed that they were programmed for a single target and changing the target was a big deal.

This is a surprisingly good writeup. Now if someone can come up with a way I can make my pm read it w/o offending him...
