I'd love to hear more about this academic dishonesty. I've been disconnected from academia for a long time. For me, I specifically make a lot of my work public to avoid someone else claiming sole invention rights--as I have reasonable publi

Many serious developers opt to keep as much of their source open as they can. It's not uncommon to find dozens of public side projects in the repository list of Github users. Occasionally someone will stumble on something interesting and co

An easy solution: Encrypt your package using a fresh private key. Send the package to the will handler (such as PassMyWill), but not the key. Send the key to all the will recipients. Upon the execution of your will, your recipients get the

Yup, it's a fake. The nameservers aren't Google's (dns .b.register.com instead of ns .google.com).

I didn't focus on that but anecdotally I find that consistently oversleeping (over 9 hours) would leave me groggy and generally reduced performance (at least temporarily in the morning) but not as bad as sleep deprivation. Whereas getting o

I'm 25 and I require 8.5 hours of good sleep for optimal performance. I did some benchmarking about three years ago by timing myself trying to solve similarly-challenging Sudoku puzzles in a Nintendo DS game. With good sleep, I'd consistent

With zero leads, I'd say https://flippa.com/ is your best bet. Though I'm not sure if you'll be able to hit 4+ digits with zero content or traffic. Alternatively you could try cold-contacting various existing sites who you think would be

I don't understand why this is downvoted. Does somebody disagree? Why? It's true, every time I see CoffeeScript vs JavaScript examples, they're often unfair. Some addressed in this older thread[1]. Another thing I don't understand is why ma

That was cute, except Jeremy Ashkenas doesn't have a beard either. Why replace one beardless man's language with another's?

Agreed. Couple more points that may not be obvious: 7. Even if Bitcoin is not a useful currency today, not only is it a novel tech invention but it is also a useful medium of exchange (akin to credit cards). You can buy coins temporarily ju

The vulnerability of implementing crypto with in-browser JavaScript seems to be coming up more and more in the past year. Tl;dr: A MITM could serve you a fake implementation of said crypto and you could very well be encrypting your content

Fair point, thank you. I'm not familiar with tuition costs at UC Berkeley. At the same time, this points against the "College is expensive" mentality.

I chose UofT because that's the school I went to and I know it's in the Top 3 CS schools in Canada. I chose Stanford because that's the data I had on-hand and I know it's in the Top 3 CS schools in the US. What I mean to say is: Compare the

As a national student at UofT, it comes out to about $27K over 4 years. About $5K for the first year, then it goes up to about $7K once you choose your specialist or double majors. This is not taking into account any scholarships or grants

A programmer and a computer scientist may not be 1-1 but there is significant overlap. Correlation may not directly imply causation but you can't discount it. Whereas being a "hacker" has very little overlap with either programming or Compu

They also chose to study CS on their own; I don't see the separation. Perhaps these individuals would have been mediocre programmers had they not studied CS.

- "College is expensive": Pretty US-centric point. It's very affordable in Canada and most other countries. - "I know many great programmers who didn’t study Computer Science and some who didn’t go to college at all": I know far more great

You don't have to use memcached, the beaker extensions let you use whichever backend storage mechanism you want. Redis Cluster can be replicated and would work fine for this, for example. I don't have a good grasp of what you're trying to a

Have you considered using Beaker with one of these backend extensions? https://github.com/didip/beaker_extensions I personally use Redis, but you could shove your sessions into Mongodb since you're already using it. Otherwise my preferred

While I agree with everything you say in general and I'm a confident advocate of "you should get more sleep!", I find it hard to condemn people for specific cases. I need 8.5 hours of sleep per night to function properly, and the effects ar

Their website might have gone down but I'm told that their underlying service is redundant across multiple availability zones. Perhaps they should do the same for the website just to instill extra confidence, though.

I don't understand how having a GPL license will improve your funding situation. Are you expecting that people will come along and pay $4,096 for an MIT license? If they were doing it to support the project, then they would do it just the s
