What makes you think Standard US Cellular Network (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc) GSM traffic isn't encrypted? It is encrypted, just that that at least some of the older ciphers used have been broken. Gr-GSM (which is mentioned used in the l

I'm not sure who is making those sort of arguments. Aside from many imperative languages that implement functional language features (pretty much all of them these days), there already exist hybrid languages. For example, Scala is an i

If you can find it, the BBC's Fall of Eagles[1] documentary series is one of the best I've seen on depicting the Kaiser and the other 19th Century Monarchs of Central Europe and their downfall. It also has a very young Patrick Ste

Yeah, it's one of those lazy loading js implementations that tries to be too clever. It's not only lazy loading them, but it's trying to load different sizes based on the client. Not sure if anything they do would be better t

After inspecting the img tags and skimming what is required just to load them, I'd say they overengineered things just a bit.

I couldn't find any source for the OP's statement either. Really wish people would back up their statements with a quick reference when it's proposed as a fact and not an opinion.

Agreed. I learned a lot (and reinforced what I already knew) from tutoring my friend a few years younger than me while they were going through their CS degree. Also learned the value of being patient. Those kind of skills go a long way when

Runtime is already open and runs on Linux, one just has to cross compile it, optimize for mobile and do the bindings and such that Xamarin already does. That's still quite a bit of legwork since Xamarin has been doing it for some years

Perhaps, but how many hiring managers are able to scrutinize commits in that great of detail? I'd figure anyone that could, would be in a more technical role and likely a developer/developer manager versus HR.

It's a relatively weak sense of smell for most (with exceptions for birds such as turkey vultures that can smell carrion for miles), but yes. For many birds though, it's nowhere as good as their hearing or eyesight.
