Every host on an IP network, from servers to personal computers to networked printers, is assigned an IP address, a unique identifying number that is used to communicate with other hosts on the same network, or globally. This statement st

You forgot to add: "and not because it appears incendiary to suggest that the HN community may be changing for the worse." That'd make for a convincing argument.

Perfect analogy right there. See Tim Bray doesn't know operator precedence rules . It's perfectly possible to live and work and thrive without memorizing everything. This is what being an engineer is all about. Yet the FUD that goes into i

1. That's what I said. Are you sure you read the whole post? 2. That's exactly what the underlying problem is; oversimplifications regarding interview processes, a complex enough human interaction as it is.

That's a failure of the interviewer in my opinion. Means he managed to intimidate (not pressure ) the guy/gal enough to back off.

You're right, and that's why I asked if nobody really "brute-forced" it, but one probably never knew about meshes and never wondered about the # of links in them until one has had someone describe it to them. My objection, if you will, is t

CS students that haven't taken graph theory yet probably don't know the number of links in a mesh grid. Have you considered that? And honestly, are you telling me that nobody answered in "however long it takes", ie. nobody just counted th

I don't have a link to the official announcement, so I can't be certain, but I doubt they're going to build their own hardware architecture. It's reasonable to think they will develop a new OS; one can only hope to see an actual OS based

Why are you fixating on "Linux variants/forks"? Is there something inherently undesirable about them?

Not only robots or spoofing modify UserAgent. Mobile devices, HTTP client apps, validators, libraries, feed readers, or privacy-concious users can also do that. Then again, if one's user base includes none of the above, one can certainly en

I don't think UserAgent reporting is even remotely reliable. Is there an alternative way to detect browsers?

I don't think it's unusual; it's very rare for job postings to say anything of substance about what the job/position really entails. From May to September, while I was looking for a job, I must've read a thousand or more of job descriptions

Although I can imagine a significant number of CRC32 operations in high-capacity gateways (LTE gateways, IP core routers and so forth), Intel processors are not so prevalent in those areas (edit: anecdotal, of course, it's just my perceptio

Randomly substitute numbers for letters that look similar. The letter ‘o' becomes the number ‘0′, or even better an ‘@' or ‘ '. (i.e. m0d3ltf0rd like modelTford)* This is essentially useless. Decent password cracker tools already try such

I'm on the other side of your situation. These days, nine out of ten times I'm looking at papers, algorithms, lots of paper with big-O and cache nitpicking, brainstorming with others trying to make those 20 Gbps turn to 60.. Speed is a dire

How is it pointless? Don't you find a visualization of abstract operations or code useful? How hypocritical. Besides, the question 'Why does AES work the way it does?' is a completely different topic which should only be touched after the

What I mean is that the conversion: unsigned int flags = -1; always works, regardless of whether negative numbers are represented in two's complement, one's complement, or sign/magnitude on the underlying hardware.

It is independent of the representation of negative numbers on the machine, because of the conversion rules.

Indeed. To further show the pointlessness of this kind of cheating, achievements are not available in single player mode, but only on battle.net (apart from the campaign-related ones).

Don't know why you were downvoted, the whole chmod "problem" is a storm in a teacup. I'm surprised nobody commented on the last guy's reply (no problem had occurred yet). Apparently all were busy watching the sky fall.
