It's statistically unlikely .5 * .5 * .5 ... but it's not magical. To answer your question, it depends on how many guesses he makes. I'm more curious about how the food was placed in the containers. Was it more visible in one container? D

Could you elaborate on this or point me to a site that explains the security risks? For my product, I have a web app that does 100% of the rendering in Javascript so I use html() a lot. I adhere by the rule that I don't trust anything that

Like all things, I think it depends on the problem that you are trying to solve. Some things lend themselves well to having a nice abstraction layer while other times, this abstraction layer just adds unnecessary complexity. I don't want t

As for Moose, he (DDG author) answered this here http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/bbqw7/i_am_the_founder... Having written an indexer in Perl for my current startup product, I really can't see the need for using something like Moose.

As my soccer friend explained things to me. After playing regulation time and extra time, your body just can't take it anymore. Adding additional time until somebody scores would be futile in his opinion.

I hear what you are saying. I'll definitely need to come up with something that can translate into dollar signs. Thanks for the input.

The product that I'm working on is designed to improve how we communicate and access information. It's based on a system that I had designed and implemented for a very large software company where errors and missteps tend to have a cascadi

Thanks. That was really helpful advice.

That is true, but I'm more concerned about the skeptical part. Take "ismarc" comment. Clearly this is a problem that is not fairly understood and it's something I'll need to better explain. The challenge is comparing it to something, but

There is a large number of tools that I'm not showing. I just want to show the framework side of things. Basically how easy it is for you to integrate it into your own environment. There is an indexer side. To put this into perspective,

Something worth noting that is along the same line is. I was told that you should avoid sales people that have come from very well known companies like IBM. The reason for this is they aren't the ones attracting the clients. The IBM bran

This resonated with me way too much, which is kind of scary. My startup hasn't failed yet, as I haven't launched yet, but I truly understand the technical mindset issue. I've been getting better at this as I have started to focus more on th

When I first heard of rietveld, it only worked with Perforce but I see it now works with subversion. If you want something that works with Git, you can use gerrit from google. They are using this for Google Android code inspections.

This is true, but the saying "time is money is also true". If you are in a situation where you can throw a thousand dollars at something that will save you half an hour in turn around for each build, then that would probably be a wise choi

I wouldn't know as it has been over 10 years since I looked at a math textbook. The thing about math is it doesn't change. Well at least the basics so it's safe to say any text that you find in the library would be a good source. Where dif

It all depends on what you want to develop. For me, my number one priority is RAM and CPU since I have to do a lot of indexing. Since this is the case, a desktop machine would make the most sense for me. Without any additional information,

My answer to your assertions is yes and no. Majoring in Math/Computer Science will definitely be an asset if you want to create the next Matlab or Mathematica. However, if your goal is write the ultimate "For Dummies" book, your technical
