The pattern of events is pretty strange. Snowden, a US citizen, chose to leak the documents to Guardian and not New York Times, meant to be published while he is in Hong Kong, which is under Chinese rule in the matters of foreign policy. I&

The scenario that a bigger adversary gaining access to the data is definitely troublesome. We also need to consider other scenarios. How about the ramifications of the pipes created for NSA, getting leveraged by other actors? What happens

This is a sad news. I remember Atul's articles in PC Quest since 1993. He wrote eloquently and passionately. His most admirable trait was, fighting for what is right. Like, once he wrote a good article about why the value of a BBS is amplif

I'm sorry to learn that you're were treated in a rather indecent manner by some; hopefully the immature response of those folks doesn't deter your noble initiative.

The equipment in the optometrist's office uses Shack-Hartmann equations, while EyeNetra uses its inverse of that. Therefore, it is gives similarly accurate results, based on which, a Doctor can prescribe the glasses. The reason the optometr

Good article. Before beginning the Estimation process, it's best to talk with the prospective customer about Cone of Uncertainty first; it helps to set a proper context for later execution of the project: http://www.construx.com/Page.aspx?

E.g., wget support was broken for a very long time. So, you had to either a. algorithmically compose a URL or b. navigate to the real download link using the browser, collating all of them together and then wget -i blah. These days, it feel

This. Also, equally important is the usability of the hardware. E.g. compared to the dot-matrix printers of 90s, it is far easier to feed paper to Laser printers. Children normally find it easier to adapt to new things. E.g. "Hole in the Wa

You should quit immediately. Also, please see cperciva's comment above. Take a complete break for one full week, before making the next move. That will help you take a better decision on what to do the next. Go and meet deep personal friend

Ian Lance Taylor, contributor of the GCC Go frontend addresses the same concern, in http://www.airs.com/blog/archives/448 Basically, yes, it'll be increasingly out of date. Edit: clarity.

This. Circa 2002, I debugged a mutli-threaded Java server, by taking a hard copy of source and walking through it on paper. A developer sitting in another office had written it; I was roped in at the moment the nasty bug was discovered, bas

Two scenarios: 1. With 2+ years of experience, the person should be able to solve a small programming assignment and upload it on GitHub / BitBucket. 2. Evaluating an absolute fresher is a little hard. Puzzle and a simple programming proble

Couldn't agree more. I faced a similar dilemma an year and half back. After moving heaven and earth for a month to make it work, eventually I just moved out. To give an idea of how worse the situation was, the fellow would ask the employees

R5RS has a clean, small core designed with functional programming in mind. This is both: a boon and a curse. One must add all sorts of libraries to build a decent application. At the same time, it is better than Lua, if you're thinking of a
