   I'm not really sure what you're saying. It looks like you're humorously drawing attention to the fact that the user considers the app to be extremely good and just lacking one nice-to-have feature (encryption), whereas you be

   Fascinating - thanks for your input! I wasn't aware of the CPU cache's extra limitation - that makes a lot of sense. And, yes - as you say, it makes perfect sense that having all the data of an object colocated (and at predictable

   > scubbo's questions already indicate some knowledge of memory management I'm flattered! But no - I have a math degree, and the Java and Python that I'm familiar with are strictly high-level and self-taught from six years

   I don't have a CS background, so apologies in advance if these are basic questions, but: > For this layout to work though, constructor needs to allocate memory for the whole object at once. It can’t allocate just enough space for ba

   Thanks! I had to look up "broadcast domain" to understand the last paragraph, but that helped illuminate some things. Thank you!

   Something that's missing from this (otherwise great!) guide, that has puzzled me for a while - what's the point? What does this configuration actually gain you/AWS? My best guess is that private subnets are for DDOS protectio

   Wow - our experiences are completely different! I consider the God-tier to be exclusively Excession , The Player of Games , and Use of Weapons , and most of the rest are simply "good" (but, as a later commenter points out, stil

    I completely agree, and I'd also like to add my frustration at the "space switching" animations in OS X. Spaces seem like a really great idea/productivity-paradigm, and I'd love to take advantage of them, were it no

    Nitpicking, I know, but I think the author has misinterpreted the XKCD strip. IMO, " - as fast as possible, of course. Want something on the Travelling Salesman?" is not a continuation of the client's request (Give me set of

    OK, now I'm REALLY confused. I've moved all my documents from /var/www/lighttpd/mainSite to /var/www/lighttpd/mainSite/webdocs (leaving .git in .../mainSite). I've updated &#x

    So, instead of having: .git some_page.html some_css.css You would advocate: .git web_docs/some_page.html web_docs/some_css.css ? Makes sense. It will require some reorganisation, but it seems (from everyone's comments) to be

    I feel incredible stupid asking this, but...how? I'm running a (very small) personal site on lighttpd, and updating it via git. I checked my.server.com/.git/config - and was duly served the config file. Eek! So I edited my &#
