every feature ... leaves another possible angle of attack for hackers Hm, I think the point is that some features are worse than others (larger attack surface, more bugs exposed), and WebGL is particularly bad.
Oh look, it's there near the end in one dismissive sentence, and comes along with two wrong "facts": 1) the household contribution to algae creation is negligible - That would be the good result of this policy limiting…
An anoying article. The author rants at length about how evul the gubmint is for banning clean shirts, calls "trisodium phosphate" "a natural element" which cannot be correct chemically correct, and falls for the…
If social recommendations didn't work then amazon would have no 'people who bought, also bought...' The point is, if your business starts off as "we sell books" (and expands to "we sell books and stuff") and you get a…
I can say I became a Go fanboy in the last few weeks Go looked to me like a c-language guy's take on very simple OO with a few functional and parallel features. On the whole the API looked terse to the point of being…
For comparison, I came up with this in C# Func<int, int, int> sum = (x, y) => x + y; I had to specify the type explicitly, could not use 'var' type inference; the error is "Cannot assign lambda expression to…
Yes, it kind of failed on "movie times for 'source code'". That's a sentence that's hard to parse without context ;)
do you know anyone who doesn't know C but is still excellent at coding/computer-science? You don't? How parochial. I recommend tht you study a good functional language for a while. It helped me understand coding on a…
This is very well explained, but not all that novel. Brian Eno used to generate long soundscapes like this, using loops of mutually prime lengths of time. Edit: See also -…
Close. Which is what I don't like about the samples that I have seen in his Go language. Code like "Fmt.PrintF" seems a step backwards to me.
Personally, I find "thisVariableIsTheLoopIndex" to be a terrible loop index variable name. But "i" isn't great either. "index" seems to be closer to the sweet spot to me. Or "fooIndex" and "barIndex" if loops over foo…
Doesn't Java have any kind of type inference for variables yet? C# allows you to say var foo = new Dictionary<string, int>(); and foo's type is infered as Dictionary<string, int>
I agree this law doesn't seem to outlaw hashed passwords, it simply means that you need to store 2 copies of the password - one hashed, and one in plain text. You are splitting hairs. It outlaws passwords where only the…

You're not making a persuasive case to me that the programming language and OS, rather than the developement methods, management style, and expertise of the coding team were the factors that determined sucess or failure.
I tried reading a bit further; it reads like PR not journalism.
architecture only starts to become interesting at 4-5 times their traffic. Which suggests that even sites with a medium-to-large internet presence, which dominatre thier niche, can do so with "uninteresting"…
They almost certainly don't mean "punched in the stomach hard enough to lose your breath for a moment", but rather "exercise (e.g. run) hard enough to lose your breath for a moment"
What tablet would a "power user" use then? A laptop.
I'm sure there aren't many engineers at Microsoft who wouldn't love to throw out the whole Windows paradigm and build something new and better from scratch. They kinda did. When Windows 3.1 was a hit, the server OS was…
Not so plausible to me, considering that the old system was in C#.
As far as I know, the previous system didn't use F#. "written in C#" http://www.computerworlduk.com/news/open-source/3260727/lond...
True enough. If the statement turns out to be not entirely correct, that would be news. I suspect that if there is any F# code, it's in a 3rd party system that talks to the stock exchange. There are lots of those due to…
It could be anything. Why do you want it to be that?
I don't believe it at all. Mainly because of the public statements that the new LSE trading system was written in C++. On the other hand, it has to integrate with lots of enternal trading systems, one of which could…
