Just because it is not 100% accurate doesn't mean it is security theory. Security is about taking many measures to help mitigate threat. There is never a pragmatic, completely effective safe guard. That being said, keep everything up

They say they contacted MS to verify his identity but didn't include their reply. From reading this article without the context of the reddit thread I would venture to guess if he really was then it is past tense now.

I wouldn't be so quick to say that. VS is very C++ centric. Last I heard offical support for C features past C89 gets pretty spotty with MS.

Oh sorry, I read it as a jab against Android for its reliance on non-free drivers and firmware. Sorry for assuming!

You are thinking of Android as just an OS for consumer mobile phones. You don't always need Facebook to run on it for it to be useful. It is a great polished Linux distro that can find a lot of uses. Think of it as a specialized L

The "android isn't very open source" sentiment really bothers me and I see it a lot here. It is a complete and fully functional mobile OS under extremely permissive licensing. Pull it! Change it! Build it! Fork it! Whatev

For me, when it comes to really drastic solutions like running bare metal or building a custom OS then if you have to ask if you should then you shouldn't. But to echo the others, it depends on what you are doing. I hope I don't

What are the differences? I'm using 1.x and haven't found it lacking yet. I tried 2.x for a work password db and didn't find anything that really stuck out from my casual usage of it.

I don't mean to be snarky, but how was your data structures knowledge then? He asked "Is there some requirement that ML _must_ be an advanced topic" and I listed a few prerequisite pieces of knowledge that make it fairly adva

On Firefox/Ubuntu it pegged all cores on my Sandybridge i5 and the video never makes it past the envelope while the audio keeps going. Its hovering at about 40% CPU usage before the video even starts.

IANAL and this is a legit question but isn't this inciting lawless behaviour and thus not protected speech?

That is a problem with the stdlib and not so much the language. There is nothing stopping you from creating a more robust string implementation that stores size and does bounds checking for some operations(You can't easily/safely

Code completion and jump to definition isn't unique to VS. Pretty much any modern IDE offers it. GDB is an extremely powerful debugging tool that has a feature set that is really hard to match. It just has an extremely step learning

It depends on how "embedded" embedded means to you. I've talked to some people who call a CPE Linux/Atom box embedded and I know some people who don't consider anything with an OS embedded. I won't even touch
