Jeez. How about just being a normal person? Y'know, like the vast majority of programmers out there.

Coroutines do impose some overhead - each coroutine still requires its own stack. You either have to allocate a stack big enough for the maximum depth that a coroutine will need (and when you're making complex library calls, that can be pre

Presumably you could use this in your own server (where it's most likely to be useful), and since you're not distributing the server binary, you wouldn't be required to hand out source?

While the incident is unfortunate, I do give them credit for being up-front, honest, and relatively speedy in their response. Sad to say, I'm not sure a lot of other hosting providers would be as quick to admit culpability. That said, there

Yeah... I'm a bit confused there too. It's not the clearest article out there.

What you gain in "readability" here (debatable), you lose in terms of screen real-estate efficiency. The last screenshot has a function filling the entire screen that would, under ordinary circumstances, occupy about ten lines of code. You'

Without being 100% sure (not having played with WebGL too much), I'd guess it would enable you to perform a large amount of expensive image processing on the GPU, using shaders. For certain things (eg. blur), this would be a huge performanc

That's great to hear. Thankyou.

When your source code is full of structs that look like this: struct obj { struct obj_functions* functions; ... } struct obj_functions { void (*do_something_with_object)(struct object* obj,...); ... }

My bad, you're correct. Nonetheless, it illustrates that there exists the potential to make filing fraudulent take-downs a costly proposition.

You're right - "re-inventing the wheel" is probably the wrong phrase - I used it because it conveys a sense of needless effort when there is a better alternative. Basically, those who don't have access to basic object-orientation are doomed

There's certainly precedent for punitive action to be taken. http://targetlaw.com/consequences-of-filing-a-false-dmca-tak... "...A California court agreed with the Group and granted a request for summary judgment, after which Diebold sett

Linus's objections seem centered on the fact that it makes it easier to generate bloated code. While this may be true, there's nothing a little self-discipline can't control. STL and Boost may not make sense for the kernel, but there's noth

Sounds at first like an admirable concept, but unfortunately would be incredibly problematic. What about the case where you're virtual-hosting many sites on one IP address? Since the SSL handshake occurs prior to any HTTP data being sent, a

One question that isn't in the FAQ that I would instantly be concerned about is exactly what encryption mechanism is used, and where the private keys are stored. Specifically, are they stored in vCider's database? If my goal was to set up a

I know it's immature of me to note this, but what's up with the logo to the left of "Ready to talk?". Is it just me, or is it faintly reminiscent of... well, something else?

Why is the trend today towards installations like this? curl install.amon.cx | bash I'm looking at you, rvm, npm et al. Yeah, I'd just love you to poop files randomly into my filesystem, with no tracking, and a completely non-standard unins

I once spent an incredibly frustrating period trying to sell a game demo to a number of publishers, all of whom thought it looked and played great, but didn't have a slot for it because their slate was full of licenses and franchises. Publi

For a "leaked memo", this sure reads a lot like a press release.

I have a ruby solution that takes 20s to run on a machine that's about 5 years old. I just brute-force generate the strings from 1-999999, as well as "million-prefix" strings of the form "(1-999)million". These are then sorted in the same a

How does this compare to resque? (Ah... answered my own question - resque seems to be ruby only).

Wow... His "wife" seems to know exactly what questions to ask, and how to respond in precisely the correct manner as to move the conversation along: "Sounds like GET is a pretty important verb."

No other registrar feels it's necessary to impose a 60-day lockout. Perhaps it adds the feeling of a tiny amount of extra "security" to an already secure process - but 60 days is ridiculous . There is no way to shortcut this procedure if y

Yeah, I'd absolutely agree that it's bad security practice to print sensitive information to a system-wide log. But the tone of the responses seem to suggest that people think this is something much more sinister.

This is just an adb log. Certainly, it seems that the CIQ application is hooking every event on the phone... but that's a far cry from demonstrating that it's sending that information back to CarrierIQ - or even recording it at all.

I use node.js for long-lived connections (sending/receiving large amounts of data, or long-polling). This is a task to which it is ideally suited. Putting CPU-intensive operations inside a HTTP handler is something that is obviously not g

If I'm understanding you correctly (and my apologies if I'm not), this isn't really quite the same thing - it sounds like a remote, encrypted filesystem. Dropbox and lipsync are file-syncing mechanisms, not filesystems. So, if you're offlin
