I have a 16gb 4S (Q_Q) that has the exact same stability problems with Podcasts. It drives me nuts, it crashes frustratingly often while I'm driving to work in the morning.

You can download it for free, but the terms and conditions[1] still limit you to "development purposes only". [1]: http://developers.redhat.com/terms-and-conditions/

Because it's explaining the wrong confusion. People who are confused about pointers and arrays in C don't think that the concept of a pointer is the same as the concept of an array - they think that in C, the two have the sam

It's pragmatic. BitLocker may or may not be flawed[1], but I don't see a lot of better options for disk encryption on Windows being presented. [1] - Whether it's flawed or not depends on your needs. Not everyone cares about

As crazy as it sounds, I think you're right and it's just the developer(s) quitting (rage-quitting?) the project. Nothing else makes sense. The Bitlocker thing seems strange until you realize that it probably really IS the best a

You can only make your results so relevant if you limit yourself to returning the same results for everyone for a given query. Google uses its data on you to (among other things) tweak your search results based on what it thinks you specif

One of the blog posts[1] I saw announcing it had a few more details than the course page, including a mention of RxJava. [1]: http://letitcrash.com/post/59504788607/new-coursera-course-o...

I don't think I've ever signed up for something more quickly than when I saw this announcement pop up on Twitter. Really enjoyed the Functional Programming with Scala course when it ran last year, and I'm happy to see the se

I took one of the previous offerings of the course, and they assume that you know Java. The programming assignments start on week 1 with "real algorithm" work, there's no time wasted introducing you to Java or anything like

XFCE and Unity both allow you to move/resize windows without using the title bar or the ridiculously small drag handles. Both of them support alt-click+drag for moving windows from any point inside, and also resizing from the edge&#x2

Assuming it's not a division by constant zero that's caught at compile time, it panics. Go's panic/recover system seems conceptually similar to try/catch and exceptions, but they aren't a drop-in replacement f

Good catch on the C/C++ standard relation, I somehow completely missed that when I read the SO answer. Glad to hear that that situation is improving.

_Generic is a language keyword, not a user-defined macro. It uses an underscore-prefixed name (along with many other C11 keywords/features) precisely because those names are reserved and won't conflict with user code. Also, that

This is absolutely incorrect. Valve puts up with Uplay because they aren't a competing marketplace, but when EA wanted to make their new games sold on Steam require Origin installation as well, Valve told them to go fly a kite. That&

It's worth noting that some classes do actually disable access to the lectures and course site for students after a cut-off date. I can't speak for all of the classes from these schools, but all the classes I've taken from P

Because they know that doing so would spike the difficulty and dramatically lower the expected value of bitcoins mined per unit. They can sell them for $20k a pop now, claiming that you can make that $20k back in a month of mining - but if

Debian (and Ubuntu) actually ships all of 1.9.x as 1.9.1, fwiw. On my Wheezy VPS, "ruby1.9.1" is actually 1.9.3p194, on Ubuntu 12.04.2 it's 1.9.3p0, on Squeeze it's 1.9.2p0. It's some kind of API compatibility th

I assumed that it meant 4 developers, but after seeing responses saying that they don't have any developers at all yet, perhaps it means "four times as many female developers as male developers".

A diverse workplace is a perk, and belongs on a list of perks like the one given. "4X female developers" are not perks, they're people. When you put them on a list of perks alongside paid vacation, free chocolates and a keg

This code is not a "game engine", let alone a properly free one. It's an SDK specifically to make mods for the Source engine. It only has the code to build mod DLLs, not the main engine source code.

For me, it's a mixture of books/e-books, screencasts, self-directed projects and free web resources. Paid versus free doesn't really matter much to me - whether it's a $20 book or free series of blog posts, the time inv

Check out "Selectivity for HN"[1]. It's manual, but situations like these are rare enough (for now...) that it's not too much of a hassle to block stories yourself. I probably would've stopped using HN if not for

I view Chrome (and Firefox now) as essentially having "Chrome" and "Firefox" as their major version numbers, if that makes sense. It's so unlikely that they'll break compatibility that any such break would pro

Had roughly the same experience with Logitech when my MX518 died. They asked me to email a phone camera pic of the label with the serial number and shipped out a brand new G500 right away. No hassle over troubleshooting, no wasted postage

Yes, but you can just re-import the image every so often. They're meant to be transient VMs for testing, so blowing them away every 90 days shouldn't be a problem.

According to the ruling, their patent specifies a sequence of nucleotides of cDNA independent of any method used to create them. I read that to mean that any BRCA1 or BRCA2 cDNA that matches that exact sequence would be infringing on Myria
208.
by tomku 13y ago
Their patent isn't on technique ("method" in the ruling), but on the actual cDNA sequence itself. As such, it's specific to the two BRCA genes. Of course, that just makes it even more ridiculous.

Maybe we read different articles, but the one I read seemed intent on strongly downplaying the amount of extra security that salting provides. It actually uses the phrase "minimal amount of protection" to describe a salt's effect on cracki
