Yes, it's amazing how many people are "casually" posting their scores. Dick measuring indeed. (98,750)

Tl;dr: FP operations can be non deterministic across different systems, architectures and compilers unless you take great care, and know exactly what you are doing. This is widely applicable in multiplayer game programming.

Yes, we must get silkroad shut down. Kids will have to buy their drugs the old fashioned way (like mom & dad): on the bus, in a back alley, or from their senator, or somewhere equally perilous and sleazy. God forfend our little dumplin

Nobody seems to be mentioning that in NK, you go to prison, and your entire extended family, for 3 generations (yes, your great grandkids) will all die there. Comparison to us prisons is laughably pathetic.

hmm. someone should write a "virtual poland" application that analyzes a set of facebook pages, and figures out who to "neutralize". i think that might get some attention.

i've never heard of him either, and i've been around long enough to not know, or care how long i've been around on nyc. i personally find this sort of "farewell" ludicrously over-dramatic. to be sure, if i ever leave, i'll just leave, secu

I heard a longish npr interview with mr. Epstein, and found his theories to be so startlingly simple and obvious, so in line with all my experiences, that I was utterly confounded as to how nobody had mentioned it before. Most compelling we

I recall Intellij Idea IDE had some pretty decent protection. They used an "encrypting" class loader (of the xor variety), and also encrypted all their resource files. I have a lot of respect for the lengths they went to, though i'm not su

Hi, since you were so incensed by my irresponsible, unethical, and down-right evil behavior, that you saw fit to call me a 4chan script kiddie (horrors!), just thought you'd like to know: From: "Chris Wanstrath" <chris@redacted.org&

The "tastier" organic myth is a myth in at least some cases. Double blind taste tests of 2 halves of the same product reveal that the half presented as "organic" is often chosen as being "tastier", despite being identical to it's other "no

This seems like a great way to drive up rents. Poor people don't tend to hang on to their money, they're awfully tempted to do things like pay rent, make car payments, and buy things to eat. Not that I blame them, I do these things too. S

i have personally heard anecdotes (and seen snapshots) from people in school in the late 80s, early 90s, who were regularly herded into the fields to harvest potatoes (czech republic). they too considered it rather fun for whatever reason.

Not really. Reasonably complex java apps would use jndi to store a single db connect name, which the app server maps internally to db credentials. That way, the app just says "connect me to /x" and the container gives the app /x, which migh
