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.
Lots of investors own minority parts of facebook. But no outside company owns facebook.
It doesn't say which day they'll skip. I'd pick a Monday.
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…
have an order of magnitude less number of apps Past a certain point, that stops mattering. Does iPhone have 1 million apps available, or is it 10 million ? I don't know and I don't care. what I do know is (assuming that…
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…
I have no idea how you could tell a dev to wing it, let him work for months with no oversight and then be shocked when he came back with something unexpected. I hope he's exagerating the examples for effect. It can't…
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…
It got "how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a wouldchuck would chuck wood" right for me. I am impressed now. But it couldn't handle "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" Maybe I'm not pronouncing it…
There is no easy way to see what Android version you are exactly running Is Menu|settings|About phone not enough for you?
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…
I'm actually surprised things haven't gotten cheaper by more than a factor of 5 in half a century. We're used to electronics getting cheaper as we find ways to make smaller and faster chips. We get change driven by…
Don't forget John Carmack - from Doom at Id softare to Armadillo Aerospace
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.
Am I wrong to stop reading at the grammar error in the second word?
The VPS figure was for serving static files. So, a lot of the stackoverflow content isn't static.
