The purpose of C++ is to provide experts with a toolbox to do anything without any compromise. This is why the language is hard to master and very easy to misuse. It's a two edged sword literraly. Although in C++ one could say it'

In C++ it's even easier than in C to safely use stack-based allocation (thanks to RAII) so this it's better because it's C rather than C++ is a huge warning sign.

If someone has no job their perceived lack of purpose ultimately pushes them into mental illness, drug abuses or even suicide. I agree with this, but I think the real reason is more profound. I think working is a "need" and then

Apple would be a good counter-example to your: This should make a lot of entrepreneurs happy, as there will continue to be a lot of top-down management-driven products that, if history shows, will continue to be market failures. There&#x2

I think the future of fast food is some kind of automated food dispenser with a dining area. You need a couple of people to oversee the facility and assist people who need help.

The important part of my comment is such trivial cases ;)

Buffering impacts performance when it transforms many small writes into one big write (same for reads). In that case since you are waiting for the answer at every iteration, I'm not sure I see how it could have an impact.

I would take the memory measurement with a grain of salt. A 200 MiB large JVM doesn't mean all the 200 MiB are used. They could have been reserved (preemptive memory allocation).

I have a similar experience. When I started my business, I really wanted an AM V8, but now that I can afford it, I don't care that much.

I think the JVM TCP stack is extremely mature, but I'm really surprised to see that Go is ten times slower. It would have been interesting to have a C/C++ benchmark for reference.

The problem is the optimization phase. Without optimizations bugs are extremely rare.

I'm not sure MSVC produces faster code than gcc. Icc does, but MSVC doesn't. Note: our build system uses three compilers.

To be honest, there is no application I currently miss on my Windows RT. Except foobar2000 maybe. But where you are spot-on is for old games: the ARM has got enough punch to run them and it would turn the RT into an old game portable consol

I have a Surface RT as well and I'm super happy with it. I can do serious Office work with it, work on any file, browser, mail, etc. I bring it with me all the time when I go to my customers to take notes. Last time I was in a conferen

You should re-read my comment. I'm talking about our customers who have this problem, resulting in us having the problem because we can't get the right person. The problem is not being there few hours less per week but being in va

I'm sorry but we have too many vacations and it's hurting business. Very often we can't reach a person because he's off and the proxy has no clue. This is very true at big corp. We wasted a lot of time that way. Employee

Well, if you exchange your keys via DH and start using that key to cipher the communication, you're going to find out very soon if you exchanged the key properly, won't you? In essence, once you've agreed on a key you won&#x2

DH is zero-knowledge in the sense that the two peers have no knowledge of each other, and yet share a knowledge at the end. Again, I admit my word usage is a little bit liberal, but although I haven't done serious crypto for a couple o

by shin_lao 13y ago
True, my usage of designed was a little bit liberal here. Mr. Diffie is one of the authors of the first paper to introduce the concept of PFS, but the DH key exchange algorithm hasn't been designed for PFS but rather for 0-knowledge ke

by shin_lao 13y ago
Your answer raises my eyebrows even more. I ask why you don't use DH and you answer "because we want forward secrecy". DH has been designed for perfect forward secrecy. Therefore I fear we might have some sort of misunderst

Unconvinced. * Lossless UDP? Is there a reason not to do TCP? * There is no way to know if the public key is genuine, so the system is very sensitive to MITM. * The key exchange is inadequate. Why not do DH if it's just to have session

I agree with everything you said and I also think that it cannot be automated and/or self-regulated. At some point a conscious decision will have to be made to either strongly moderate political topics or to let HN slide to a different
