If they actually do a recall/replacement I'll be extremely impressed.
Uh, no. He specifically mentioned that running in the browser is why JS is so widely used, even though the language itself is worse than alternatives. >The single redeeming feature of JS is that it's implemented in all…
The associative arrays in JS are simpler than objects in Java but the expressiveness means you need to be aware of all the different types of type coercion and how it all interacts at runtime. I don't think this is that…
I'll give you generics. Statics, method visibility vs global/local/self. Interfaces, abstract classes, inner classes vs metatables. Data-structures apart from array are implemented on top of the language, array vs…
Please expand your response, I don't understand what you mean when you say they are "the same thing".
I didn't see a point, just a bunch of facts and a smarmy, self-righteous turn-about comment. If I could downvote it, I would. The parent comment said "Javascript is a bad language but it's incredibly useful because it's…
Why do you think Java is bigger? From my perspective, Java has, effectively, structs (well defined groups of data) and a few primitive types, and a class system which is dead simple. It's tiny, comparable to Lua imo.…
FWIW, it didn't for me. And that's fine too. What I use dropbox for: Lazy backup system (all my important code is symlinked there, sharing small files (<20mb) over the net What I use USB drives for: Sharing large files…
>Is there nothing positive the NSA/US Government can tell us about these tactics that wont compromise their mission? They probably think that they can just stay silent and the public outrage will quietly sizzle out.…
Ehhh, no. That's how dropbox works. If you delete a file it stays in the cloud for a month before it's fully deleted. You can use the web interface to do a proper delete, but the interface makes it clear what you are…
The google drive already has access to the local filesystem, so that is a not a good reason to not have a local copy of the data.
Now unbalance it a bit, if the 6'2" can't hold a conversation he's going to fail. This means that holding a conversation is more important. Same thing if he's not well groomed, same thing if he's out of shape. Same…
Exactly. The most successful lothario in my university class was a short guy who went to the gym 5 days a week, had exceptional grooming and was extremely confident/comfortable around women. Height is a very small…
Yes on prestige. Last I checked lawyers make an excellent living here too. University fees are less crippling because you aren't forced to make repayments unless you are earning over a certain amount.
>>Whereas someone who is, say, 6'2" will be attractive to women solely on the virtue of being tall. Lol no. As a 6'2" man with social anxiety, being tall is not some magical doorway to getting the ladies. Effort is more…
Lawyers are on the higher end of status things. In line with commerce peeps and engineers. If I was to make a ball-park guess, fewer people sue each other here, so there are fewer lawyers and the career path stays…
Including the IP of the "mario" character?
This is a pretty awesome talk. I wish he expanded on the "array of records" thing and how he implemented it. Maybe an array of key-value pairs?
They'd just buy up another VID, the names associated with VIDs don't need to be unique.
Since a USB device gets paired with a driver through a VID/PID pair, buying a single VID allows you access to 65536 PIDs for that VID. They give out the PIDs for free but hold on to the VID for themselves. FTDI own a…
Have them in pairs or teams, war games style. Guy1 "Sir, we're losing money much faster than predicted, turn your key" Guy2 "It could just be market variance" Guy1 pulls out gun "Turn your key, sir"
I was thinking about this too. That "pay us 300 dollars in bitcoins to get a key to your data" virus could be like that. If the payment -> key sent part was automated then money would just build up in the bitcoin…
It is much easier than you might imagine but it's not very "fun". To be able to dependably solve a cube you'll need to know a few algorithms for swapping key pieces around without effecting the rest of the cube. If you…
"Any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." I had to look it up, so this might save some others the trouble.
