Watermarking makes a lot more sense than DRM. If your name is on the film you just bought, you will not want to publish it on p2p.

"Ithkuil has two seemingly incompatible ambitions: to be maximally precise but also maximally concise". I immediately thought about perl.

"R1...More generally, no software function should run during flight unless it is needed." This means, that even using the most reliable language and trying to test as much as possible, there is always a risk of an overseen bug.

So the seller of tools used by telecommuters is not happy when Marissa Meyer suppress telecommuting.

Just change your mindset. If you are an expert in your technical domain, what is obviously wrong for you may be difficult to grasp to a non technical. Imagine that your boss is very smart but that all you says looks like a foreign language

Presentations is not his job. I remember in 1992 when he has tried to compile the kernel using g++ mode. Compiling C in C++ mode was a way to detect more errors and to support migration toward C++. A lot of nasty bugs in g++ were discovered

I really like instructions like this because I understand easily what needs to be done. Probably the content of the script will also be easy to read. Of course, I will never do a copy paste of these instructions. I will redirect to a file a

I fully agree that the evaluation system can not assess reliably the level of the student. This may reduce the value of the diploma, but this does not affect the quality of what we can learn using these courses.

I think that office on linux will always be a second citizen software. Linux users will have less power to force usage of open tools if microsoft office is available on linux.

I think you fail on two software engineering principles: * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle * you should adapt the way you think about programming to the language you are using. This is shell, not Ada.

I think the short flags are more useful when using directly the command (outside of a script). It is faster to type man grep in a window and to type grep -Eo than to type grep --extended-regexp --only-matching. At first, I even didn't reali

They do not want student to copy on each others before deadlines. Even latter, if they want to give the same course a second time, they need students of first session to never publish their homework.

I love Perl because it is really easy to structure your code to match your way of thinking. And it is so fast to get the job done. I am a javascript beginner. For me, it is a lot more difficult to read than Perl. I very much agree with the

The programming language is the language used to give instructions to a machine. For me, it is very similar to a natural language. What do you mean by "programming notation" ?

I enjoyed a lot stripe 2.0 and I have watched Dan Bone on coursera. In the article, they just split the password in two. 128bit/2 -> 64bits. This remains two much for brute force like TCP port method or timing attack.

Reread what I wrote. I have been moded down enough for giving my opinion about why this additional shell command can makes people angry. There are perhaps many young developers here that are fed-up listening to old ones telling them to lear

I am a perl lover. I fully adhere to the idea that perl (or python or ruby or javascript) should be used instead of sed/awk/sh/grep/find each time we need to go beyond the basic usage of these commands. I have never said that everybody shou

In 1996, I was using RDB on VAX. The SQL book I was using to help me was a book about SQL92 (not at all about RDB) bought in a small non technical library. Almost all the examples were working perfectly on RDB (and on Microsoft Access). A f

It is a report on How and why I have done my work the way I did, What were the advantages and disadvantages, What could be done to improve the process. This kind of reports are useful for people doing similar activities.

In my work I have always to go from one computer to another one (to analyse software problems). Sometimes I need to ask a developer to come on site to give a look to the behaviour of its code. It occurs very often that very good developers

I have just publish a report on monday where I explain that the command line should be used instead of some small scripts that encapsulate for loops. The argument is that basic shell knowledge should be trained in order to not lose skill (o

I think it is a good argument to learn basis before reinventing the wheel. When using unix, there are already far too many commands to learn. Not having to learn useless commands is a bonus.

At my office, I would be very angry if I encounter your tool. That would mean that the guy who has brought it was too lazy to learn the proper way and makes me waste my time learning how to use a useless tool. Your tool has no advantage ove

I started working in 1994 and Oracle was already the database provider that did not want to comply with standards (Sql92). They were already greedy.

Hi. I play a lot sudoku and I will not try your app. All the fancy you added to the sudoku game may be interesting, but the first thing I noticed is that your sudoku game is not ergonomic: on a touch screen, you MUST make the grid as big as
