In theory it shouldn't matter whether my security expertise is in-house or I pay some external party to provide it, right? You are not paying an external party to come by and secure all your servers/applications — you are paying for a ser

I am not in the US and I do have a dedicated account manager which I can call or write. He even calls me occasionally just to hear how things are. With >€600,000 in revenue since the 25th of August there is no doubt that this qualifies

I use it as a customer mainly to learn about places near me offering services I am interested in. I rarely care about getting half off on a massage or kayak rental, but I do care about knowing that I can rent kayaks two minutes from here or

Indeed the proposal is not UI simplification since you reduce the action of pressing one of two buttons with the action of pressing one button and then read direction for each elevator which stops after your pressed the button. Having peo

With an unlocked phone you can resell it. I bought an unlocked iPhone 3GS in January and paid a premium, but I will probably sell it this summer, if I can get an unlocked iPhone 4G.

It is fairly easy to setup a US LLC, see e.g. https://www.delawareinc.com/ (they’ll handle all the paperwork for around $450). This will give you an Employee Tax Identification Number (EIN) which can often be used instead of SSN. Note tho

The xn--… stuff is the real URL as it exists in the DNS. Conversion to/from the user’s script is supposed to be done by the browser. This has existed for quite a while, the new thing is that previously the TLD (i.e. country code) still had

I don’t follow — are you saying I don’t understand his critique because I only look at this from a developer’s point of view? He is seeing “the web” as an easy way to deploy applications. The app store is exactly what he needs, easy way to

I think it is more accurate to say he wrote his own library. These terms are not well defined (AFAIK) but often a framework implies that you have something “already running” which you customize by providing callbacks, delegates, and similar

If you throw a signal into the public, you don't then get to decide how people use it Depends… I can only speak for my own country (Denmark) where we do have rules about what information others are allowed to record and permanently store.

Some of us like to be in control of our data and/or not pay others for what is essentially free. Also, I am not sure how third party email sending services can avoid having me setup a SPF record — as for the PTR record, it’s a good thing to

The inability to call out to shell commands makes for a very poor development environment, pretty much everything has to be built into the app. For web development this might work ok, although you mention git, and there is no (fully working

It is not O(n log n) — neither is quicksort for that matter :) The comb sort is intuitively O(n²) . The inner loop will run n - gap iterations, where gap starts at n / 1.25 and decrease toward 1. I think we can effectively count th

I am not sure what you are referring to, but the case where EPIPE is useful is incase you do something like: grep foo *.txt|head -n10 Here head will close its stdin after having read 10 lines. If grep writes more it will ge

Though it doesn’t work with the standard algorithms. For example you can’t do stuff like: std::transform(first, last, lambda<int> (x) --> 2*x);

The drive does not know when data stored on the drive is “deleted”. This is what TRIM is for, i.e. when you delete a file you just unlink the inode. You need to tell the drive that the blocks that the file occupied are no longer needed, so

To clarify: There are two writing speeds of an SSD, one when the block is empty and one when the block already has data, the latter is slower and TRIM support from the OS will allow the SSD to know about “dead data” so that it can reorganiz

I started with http://concept1010.com/ early 2009. This is 6 machines (back, legs, arms, breast, stomach, and neck) once a week. Each repetition should take 20 seconds (so you do it slowly, which makes it harder) and you should be able to

The reason for this advice is that the employer and the employee often have a number in mind when they enter the room. If the employee starts with a number below what the employer had in mind, the employer accepts it. If it is too high, the

There already is a few examples of gcc giving helpful hints (although nothing like LLVM). For example (t.cc): template <typename C> void test (C c) { C::iterator it = begin(); } ⋮ test(std::vector<int>());
