Why do we think it is "legal"? Brad says "Use at your own risk, then." and "... it'd be a little hard to fingerprint." Neither of which scream "legal" at all. In fact, rather the opposite.

This is going to sound harsh, but if you still this SLOC counts for anything, you're in PHB territory.

I wonder if there is a market for providing real, verified identities. Not requiring them, mind you, but streamlining things if you provide it: like the Clear security program in airports that lets you skip the lines.

A buddy -- Craig -- of mine ported Tetris to X while at MIT. Another buddy -- Randy -- wrote Tetrimatic, which intercepted the X events to figure out the board state and was, effectively, a robot that played Tetris. For a while Tetrimatic w

I think that there's a forcing function with using a non-IDE environment that makes me, at least, write better code. I have to navigate it and understand it without (easily) jumping between files/methods/objects. For me, that leads to bett

Dang! Vortex shedding was exactly what I did my undergrad research project on! Sadly, it got me my lowest grade in college. But that's a longer story.

The WSJ should be embarrassed at its [reporter's] inability to grasp simple stats and probability. 10% of the Fortune 500 are run by Harvard grads. Harvard's classes are about 1600/a. Just the Boston area has around 250k students. Let's

Here's the bit I don't quite understand. It seems to me that CDSs are fine as long as you only have one degree of separation. Example: if JPM loans Ford $1B, it can buy a CDS from AIG for that loan. However AIG cannot then buy a CDS for f
