The article says that a Local Management Service (LMS) must be installed for the bug to be demonstrated[0], and describes a Windows package that provides that. Is there a Linux equivalent? [0] I say "demonstrated" instead of &quo

Meh. "write code that compiles" means to me the ability to do zero defect keyboarding. That's not so important - being able to interpret the compiler output to say - Oh, I typoed that variable name/I missed that semico

I'm currently reading "Anti-Piketty". I should have known from the title that it would be full of ad-hominem attacks, but I thought right wing intellectuals had more self respect.

The second paper mentions BLACKER and MLS, but nothing about perl. The closest perl comes to MLS is "taint" mode, but that seems a stretch. The first paper is pay-walled. Are you sure you're not thinking of SELinux?

The subtitle is much better: "Millennials are lagging behind on the traditional markers of adulthood." Also: "There's also no sign that young people today are lazier than three decades ago. In 1980, 74 percent of baby bo

I don't get it. A test for (in)equality is commutative unless you're inducing side effects (i++) - and then side effects are going to be the big "cognitive load", regardless of which side of the comparison they occur.

They probably meant nuance, but I think the biggest part of experience is knowing all the nuisances (especially in the accompanying development environment) and how to get around them.

I follow the arithmetic behind the birthday paradox, but that doesn't help my intuition about similar problems: can someone point me to heuristics for dealing with very large numbers of events in a very, very large universe of possibil

An omnipotent entity could have initialized the universe (including everyone's memories) one femtosecond ago; one does not obtain actionable information from picking an arbitrary point (e.g., 6000 years ago) for this to have happened.

Unemployement benefits, and how they're financed, vary by state. In NC, they keep track of a company's layoff history, and adjust the unemployment tax (levied on the employer) according to that history (hypothetically). There wa

My problem with wine is that I know what I like when I taste it, but as best I can tell, there is no language with which to express that, after "red". There's "headache flavor", which never shows up in cheap wine:
