   Last time I checked, other than the Nexus phones, pretty much every manufacturer locks down their bootloaders, so no, you can't "blow away the firmware and write your own".

   From what I understand, the exemptions only allow jailbrakeing/rooting with permission from the Manufacturer, which I highly doubt would be given from 80-90% of manufacturers

   I'm not sure if you've been keeping up with US news, but this isn't true, at least until it's decided in court. GM, John Deere, and Ford all have the opposite opinion[1][2][3] [1] http://www.againstcronycapital

   But I hope you wouldn't be amazed that a book written in 1978 made reference to common technology at the time. The whole point of this post was the original K&R C, so why wouldn't they reference/assume teletypes?

   I don't understand this. You think Netflix and Facebook's Open source projects are lame? Whoah, I didn't notice that Netflix and Facebook became the only tech companies on Earth.

   after reading your other comments in this thread, I completely agree, and maintain things the same way. I've found that by closing slack, I can get multiple orders of magnitude more work done in a day, which is crazy. I have everything

   I think the problem a lot of people would have is that introducing hardware, which costs millions to design and bring to market, when it's possible to write code that isn't prone to overflow....just doesn't seem like a good

   Hello All, I've been using this site for a while now, but I've always been way too shy/scared about submitting my own work. But, I figured it was time, and I'm somewhat proud of what I've done, though I'm still

    would there be a corollary to 1, in that the Software would then have to support every possible configuration, and then purely due to resources, wouldn't be optimized for any?

    I'm not trying to make fun of meteorologists at all, I totally get that your job is hard. I actually wanted to take the same approach (My company provides lunch for employees, I wanted to train a neural net on past lunch menus, and tra

    No, it really isn't. My point is that you can't draw conclusions to an accuracy greater than what is afforded to you by your prediction model, whether it's fore or aft. That's pretty on the point .

    what's the actual error bound on both forecasts and aftcasts? The article this discussion is linked to is claiming "1.46°F (0.81°C)" variance over recorded history. Recorded meaning they know what actually happened. But I c

    It's all linked together, and while that statement had nothing to do with temperature, the same can be said in my area with regard to that. Also, if a meteorologist can't get the current state of the weather correct, why on e

    wait a second. The OP was comparing "aftcasting" TO "forecasting" 2-3 days in advance, and that's what my statement was based on. If your 2-3 day forecasting is off by 5-6 degrees (celcius), why would your &quot

    I mean turning on the "weather channel" and having it say it's sunny out, only to look outside to see pouring rain across the entire city. That's pretty inaccurate in my book.

    by rnovak 11y ago

    To be honest, and this is my opinion only, but 2-3 day forcasts, at least in my area, are horribly inaccurate . In my state, it's a common joke that being a meteorologist is the only job you can have where you can be wrong 95% of the

    I don't remember many specifics about that to be honest. When I built things in ASP.NET, it was for a Fortune 500 and the deployment environment was primarily windows, so I just remember using C# and remembered the name (ASP), as well

    If you're okay having this appliance/container on your own network, StrongAuth offers such a service/appliance. I'm not sure if they offer a remote solution.

    I'm not entirely sure how coding over the phone would work, but personally, for technical screens in particular, I prefer not to practice at all. For me, it's the same as a test. If I cannot perform adequately from the knowledge I

    First of all, how do you even know I'm an American? Nothing in my post, my bio, or anything mentions that, so that's quite a sweeping generalization, and baseless assumption. Secondly, why are "non-americans" cool with b

    I think you're confusing "exploit" and vulnerability. An info leak is a vulnerability. Period. And yes. You completely went around their request, and made this info public without their consent. Actions like this are THE

    I don't think I can agree with you, actually knowing some of the people that have had their information exposed, and I think it's pretty heartless to "be glad" that people are getting screwed over.

    Except that the approach the author used is in my opinion completely flawed. The author states he started from 1 (one) seed URL, and then crawled the sites, visiting links. But that's not valid, as you'd only ever come acros

    If you released software that was exponential, but your QA department only ever tested small inputs, I think it would be negligent to omit to your boss and|or clients the rate at which run-time could expand. and I think it would be a horr
