When you need to prevent quick grepping in Java, you can also take advantage of the fact that unicode escapes can occur everywhere in a java file, not only within quotes. So you can declare an int by writing “\u0069\u006e\u0074 \u0069 = 1;”

But when you do need unsafe code (e.g. for defining a structure that interacts with a C API), is behavior undefined? I’m just looking at a bit of my own offsetof calculation and hoping it won’t break once I turn optimizations on. unsa

Very cool. Is the next step integration with Manta so you can specify an environment of Linux executables to map over your data?

Conceptually, your build results should be a pure function of your source tree. If I understand correctly, within Google, the cross-compilers are actually checked in to the source tree, so that the distributed jobs will use the same compile

I have also had many stack overflow commenters come to critique my code for style but no one actually answer the question[1], and it can be rather frustrating because I know that what they are saying will not solve my problem. But I would s

Fun stuff. I would also recommend using some kind of packet sniffer to collect sample data which can make your static analysis easier. To do this, buy the CC2541 development kit with packet sniffer for about $25. Alternatively, you can writ

As a customer, I want an easy button to affect my contractors' businesses based on their performance. But when I am on the receiving end, I want to know that the negative reviews are legitimate (not subject to discrimination or gaming)

Due to network effects, it is very difficult to compete with incumbent networks. Google AdWords and Uber do not need the people that they wrongfully kicked out. Facebook does not need the people who find their privacy policy untenable. Unle

Company-owned marketplaces are wonderful for the 95% of people who never run into problems, and some people such as Blake Ross may wonder why we don’t just retire the publicly regulated markets. What he is missing is that there is no due pr

The author is correct to attack Google’s authentication protocol, but the password reset procedure is the gaping security hole. The author is focusing on the distinction between “hard” tokens vs ”soft” tokens from NIST 800-63 Level 4. But i

The vast majority of your weblog postings describe https downloads, so it is mostly tangential to grandparent’s complaint and to the article. A .sh script may be a messier and less idiomatic file format than .pkg/.deb/.rpm/.m

Perhaps the blog excerpted too little of the petition (it started at page 55, or PDF page 63). I recommend starting at section V.C on page 52, or PDF page 60 instead. I think the description of Comcast’s actions since 2009 paints a pretty d

This article has some fun graphs, but the writing is a bit sloppy. “They are using gobs of electricity.” What? The observation (that EV car households use about 6kWh or under $1 of electricity above a normal household per night) is if anyth

By the way, Judge Lucy Koh estimated that fees would be $82885000, so each of the 64466 class members would have received $3750, not quite the “essentially zero” that Alex at TechCrunch claims in the article you link. Source: Judge Koh’s or

IANAL either, but I think it would be against craigslist terms for me to continue to use their website while “providing” my accessibility extension. So I could publish the extension, but I would have to stop using craigslist. Additionally,
