Is the number of question marks really relevant to the point one is trying to make? Let me rephrase that. Is the number of question marks really relevant to the point one is trying to make??? edit: Downvoted. I guess I don't have to keep ar

I don't think he meant there's anything wrong with it, only that clang/llvm might not feel like implementing certain GNU C extensions. Besides, pluralism is always good, right?

I wouldn't say so. In my eyes, databases (or a DBMS, if you will) are sufficiently more complex and incorporate sufficiently more and/or different functionality for me to separate them from a filesystem.

Files are not databases.

The problem goes beyond client-website interaction. Improper wifi configuration also plays a big part in what Firesheep can achieve. ;)

This is essentially the same argument that comes up with full disclosure. Yes, it's not pretty. Yes, it causes a lot of collateral damage. But it also makes the big players patch things up faster, while letting the knowledge out to the publ

Does anyone have any reference(s) to the methods used to sample data about atmospheric 400,000 years ago? It's amazingly interesting.

Seems to be working for the Aussies, too. At least their PM played that card, and she doesn't seem to be bluffing.

As I take it, he's already had an audience before. It's just that the audience didn't care much.

No, it might be wasting their life, but it's solid advice for the OP. It's been proven to work. I'm terribly sorry, but not everyone's purpose is to make great products that help mankind. Some people just wanna get rich.

I'm curious; have you faced any problems in that transition? (seriously, I'm not trying to troll. I've had exactly one - making sure a project of mine would compile as PIC and that was pretty minor after the required reading)

"How would it be useful to me, if I spent my time scrutinizing and debugging the code output by the tool?" How would it be useful to me, if I spent my time scrutinizing and debugging code put out by myself? To contrast those too, consider

Indeed. Python is moving forward, and 3.1.2 should be the default. For backwards compatibility, install 2.4.ancient1. I'm not using Arch, but choices like this really improve its standing in my eyes.

Again, you're extrapolating just to prove me wrong. I admit it may seem 'extreme' to some, but advanced tools aren't a threat to us. However, our current culture as programmers shows that we don't even trust other people's source code, let

A science built on abstraction can't have tools with enough level of abstraction? That's almost Poetic.

Yeah, that's why we don't have anyone fixing bugs encountered in software we use. Please. PS. Who cares about perfect? You can't have perfect, and that wasn't my point. Please reread. PPS. I'm happy to see you're invalidating all the subjec

Not really. As much as I love vim and Visual Studio, I use them because there's nothing better. I'd love something better (maybe someday I'll care so much that I'll sit down and write it myself).

Which raises the larger point about this article, and hundreds of other charmingly idiosyncratic applications -- they certainly are refreshing, but may not always be received in the best way. If I were him, I wouldn't give a rat's ass abo
