It would be awesome if they port this to c/c++. On a related note: how prevalent is Java among the security folk? Most of the crypto algorithms I've read are done in C. As a person that wants to try rolling my own crypto, I just d

Yes, I agree with you. Feeling "useful" is subjective but can influence one's self esteem a great deal. On the other end, not having choices can also be motivational. For example, surviving on a single slice of pizza every da

We discussed this. Renting is precisely for that purpose. With one kid, and planning for one more, we want to be mobile if need be. Family comes first, area second.

Parents, sorry, edited it. Family does changed the outlook quite a bit though for some of the people I know.

There is nothing embarrassing about manual work. When I was 17, at one point, I sold toilet paper, on the street, in a third world country, to get some cash for my PC. Various jobs netted me half the cash for my PC over 6 months. My parents

Anybody looked into migration to the Linux platform? Realistically, what would be the advantages/cost?

Contrary to the author's opening statement, my biggest complaint is google killing services all the time.

One day, when the author gets a bit more seniority, he'll learn what we all had to learn at some point in our careers: Don't write software that can't be debugged.

If the machine is silently compromised, moving the private key one step away doesn't matter much; kryptonite will serve the signature regardless, and the attacker can cherry pick the active session keys. Yes, it's a partial break,

Well, philosophically, does anybody builds nowdays using the win XP source code to make profit? How about the Linux kernel? I'd argue one of these has an approach that actively benefits humanity and the other one is a footnote in histo

So, our family doctor jokes that patients would come to him and say 'Oh, I googled whats wrong with me, I just need your second opinion' :) Jokes aside, human doctors won't be replaced in foreseeable future, but many people w

Evaluate it, think like a salesman. If somebody actually needs it right now, and you know them, try to arrange some form of payment for developing it. Otherwise, consider stash it? In few months / years, the situation may be better for

From a limited dataset: They get by. Find balance. When you ask them for a coffee, they tell you they don't have the $5 to take the subway to meet you and are very sorry for that. Some have other problems they are trying to work around

Another take on this is that Google, an advertising company, is regretting removing about 780k links of potentially very interesting content. This is a very slippery slope for them, because it threatens their core business.

It is sad how the best way to reach Google's support is through their pr department.

You are probably right. But so are the kernel devs. It seems to be an argument of: we do this for all drivers, vs amd pushing: we want to be the exception for this driver only.

By the look of it, he's trying to be reasonable now; after half a year of hope that the code will just get checked in because it's coming from AMD , regardless of quality. If I recall correctly, Google tried the same thing some t

Anything that breaks transactional states and atomicity isn't 'fit the taste', it's getting fired and we'll get somebody that can do those properly. If anything, that post highlights the lack of quality among the am
