I'm reminded of a line from the producers: "Never invest your own money." I don't see how one could make methodical and appropriate business decisions with the gun pressed to their head of potential financial ruin.

I agree. It is a bullshit situation, and you should be mad about it. Employers have a responsibility to maximize the profits of their shareholders/investors. They are not there to be your friend, take care of you, or compensate you beyond t

This is totally true. Your employer is not there to do you any favors. Most likely, they will knife you in the back the minute they get the chance.

On that note, it sounds like you could make a really good heat ex-changer with this stuff. I wonder if this would make for improvements in fields like refrigeration and energy production.

Thanks for responding, So when you say you aren't a bank, you really do follow many standard banking industry practices (at least in terms of security/insurance). I think it is important that you show this when advertising a service like th

I'd go with 'scary.' I put my money in a bank because there is an assurance that I'll be able to get it out later and that it is safe there.

So... lets say someone hacks my Simple account (or simply phishes the password) and drains all of its funds. What happens then?

by ohyes 15y ago
This is incorrect. Lisp is not slower at everything. When properly tweaked it can be pretty close to java in speed.

Phishing the password from one user and recovering the salt shouldn't be useful in the first place. The parent example was only meant to show how difficult it is to recover a salt even with multiple examples of its use, not to give a real l

Devil's advocate here. I agree it is sexist and unprofessional and not how I would word a recruitment post. That said, it seems to be a reference to an internet meme. http://www.facebook.com/getwiththebrogram They also say pretty clearly

I think it is actually pretty obvious what /happens/ when it runs out of RAM. You have to either buy more RAM, start using the VM option, or start using OS virtual memory. The latter two will slow it down a bit. Another possibility is to fi

What do you do when you get more data than fits into ram? I've been working on a 'for fun' application with Redis, and had been counting on some sort of on disk memory. (Because storing everything in ram is comparatively expensive, I had fi

I don't know. Based on your track record, it doesn't sound like you really want to work for someone else. I disagree with my bosses and don't want to work on projects all of the time, but part of working for someone else is that you have to

Yup. Posting on the internet can hurt your case. Although this is interesting, I'd honestly recommend discontinuing the thread and deleting the post. A lawyer that thinks you have a good case will take this up for a cut of the settlement no

I agree that it would be better to not compare a null reference at all. A better option would be to return multiple values or have a tuple type and pattern matching. Like I said, I'm not particularly a fan of Dart.

I was hoping for something like the Dylan language. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dylan_programming_language It was created in the 1990s and it still looks innovative, even compared to a lot of the new 'hot commodity' languages like python
