I suspect that particular question would become a community wiki instead. Otherwise, they'll have to swat that question down 10x/day.

Český Wikipedia has the code as well. http://cs.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_socket I'm not sure whence the code was lifted, but it would not surprise me if they just grabbed some code from Wikipedia and assumed it was freely usable.

Good points. Most requirements do not include error or exception handling requirements, so when developers write their test cases (in the very few cases when they do so), they usually do not write negative test cases. Obviously, NFRs need t

Ugh, yeah, I'd say you're, umm, covered. Edit: It helps that you're the CEO of your company. The risk profile changes a little bit. :-)

Enjoy that cancer from burning and/or airborne plastic/arsenic/mystery material in 20 years. And which part of Oakland? That can be a pretty broad range of risk. :-)

NO! You're not a 0 at designing a programming language. If you look at modern C++, you may think that it's impossible to design that language. TBH, I'd be incredibly surprised if the current standard is implemented on all of the major comp

Fizzbuzz is an analytical problem, not really a programming problem. A kid with no knowledge of a particular programming language could create an algorithm for it with a little guidance. "Are there any patterns in this that we could use to

The average developer, in my mind, is a person right in the middle of the group of people who can maintain a position as a "programmer" or "developer" or any equivalent terms. You've made a number of assumptions that I was trying to squash.

"When you say someone is 1000x as productive, that means that they sit down and do 3 years of work in 8 hours. (Unless the average developer contributes negative net productivity)" Productivity is value to the organization. If it is an eco

k-means has enough problems that you (almost) never implement it on its own anyway. If you do, it's generally because you need something now and it's faster than learning how to marshall your data for whatever API you can find on github or

It's apparently not aspect-oriented, either. The article is full of wrong information, wrong logic, and wrong conclusions. I feel embarrassed for the author, who must have spent a lot of time to produce something that is an intellectual ne

Depending on what you mean by the average developer, 1000x is plausible. If you think in terms of reliability, it's the difference between a four nines engineer and a one nine. That guy who pushes untested code that brings the site down f

I think you're spot on. There are some _really_ bad programmers out there. Many are stuck in IT departments in non-technical companies, pounding out RPG, COBOL, BASIC, and other "maintenance" work that consists of writing reports. They ta

It's definitely out of the norm. Especially when the VP of IP (I'm guessing also general counsel) participates in a forum discussion on the topic. Then again, he's the one who can, and is supposed to, speak on such matters for the company

People will do a lot of dumb stuff without talking to an attorney. They'll think,"OMG, lawyers are saying they'll put me out of business," or "OMG, the IRS/SEC/FBI have told me I did something bad," and they call the number on the letterhe

Foreign depositary receipts are a good way of accessing global markets via domestic exchanges. You can invest in, say, a Dutch company, getting the advantages of a different tax jurisdiction as well as a different numéraire.

If you follow some of the links, apparently the drivers often don't maintain the same level of insurance as they are compelled to under the taxi medallion laws. It was smart for Uber to take it federal as they'd have an uphill climb in a lo

It creates the implication in some people's minds that it's based on the content. I.e., x companies that are likely to sell if you offer to pay for their lunch and take on their debt at $50 each, y companies that will need to pay back thei

Alan Kay is 74, despite the fact that he looks 20 years younger. A couple grad students should follow him around 24/7 with a microphone, a tablet computer, and a digital camera and record any ideas he throws out there. He's like the Phill

The standard recommendation is to type Sholes 5-10 minutes a day to maintain your ability to hurt your wrists. I haven't bothered to do that and it's a good thing I leave my keycaps alone for the few times I run a VM that is stuck in US la

Right. There are a number of attempts to generalize the terms of the discussion, but "because tits" guy is a specific wanker. It's OK to say things to this person precisely because of his specific behavior.

In what relative normality is it acceptable to tell a group that one of their members received something due to her "award-winning tits?" I'm all for multi-lateral motives, but some things are wrong for anyone "in town," whether they rode i

There is no downside to leaving the table. I have two axes, based on the reaction of the douchebags and of the others at the table. There are no neutral parties. 1) Douchebags may think you're a 'fag' - You win, they are still douchebags

Only psychiatrists and others in the medical profession still call it ADD. It all boils down to a diagnostic/billable code anyway. 314.00, 314.01, etc.
