In my opinion, and as a general rule. You can't really ever truncate a user facing string correctly because it depends on language specifics. Hence it is my suggestion not to truncate user facing strings - and in fact you may want to c

I have been following Pijul loosely for a while, and I would strongly agree that it could do with some information on some of the possible practical advantages of the approach. I do have some Pijul repositories around, but have not used it

I haven't really ever worked in a company where they used straight waterfall in practice; it has usually been design and documentation up front with the main aspects discovered, followed by coding and updating some or all of the docume

I've seen this a number of times. People (management and team alike) have said to me things along the lines of: "We don't have documentation, we are agile." Which, of course is not what the agile manifesto says, but is h

I consider perforce "views" to be burdonsome and not so sane. The rest of the experience may be less jarring than git for many.

It happens all the time. It happened with "design patterns". It happens with frameworks, languages, and many other things. Human nature. It's quite hard to argue with someone who cites an "expert", because you are a

I don't agree entirely with what the article says because it can be a problem to have to sift though a lot of small functions in order to determine what is going on. Sometimes, I think it's easier to read a moderately sized, but &

So long as you do not compress the random data you add it will work. Compressing it will not help the situation at all since the compression ratio will be constant for the random data. The problem is you have to then seriously negate the ef

After considering this problem in long detail in the past, I too favoured utf8 at the time. I remember a project (circa 1999) I worked on which was a feature phone HTML 3.4 browser and email client (one of the first). The browser/ip st

Comments, readability plus typabiliy where one of the main reasons I recently chose YAML for a configuration file. It seems YAML is a bit unloved these days, perhaps because it is more difficult to parse fully. YAML references also proved u

I've seen several applications that look like wget UI. They often are internal engineering applications, and, in the main work fairly well for the target audience. I think programmers know exactly what a good UI might look like, but (a

A lot of people insist on avoiding the use of "using namepspace x" in .cpp files. This makes no sense to me, it makes things a lot easier to read. It never seems to cause a problem, and it's trivially fixed if a conflict show

When I went for a job interview at Symbian many years ago for a position working on Symbian OS, they told me (and it's obvious from looking at their documentation) that they implemented thier own execption mechanism in C++ using setjmp

As a mostly single person at the moment I cannot realistically use the 120Mb/s bandwidth that's available down my fiber internet connection. It's hard to see a family soak up that bandwidth up either. Better latency and jitte

What is Facebook? On another note I have 132 text files with passwords in. The whole security thing isn't going to get easier.

People seem to forget this important fact - That hashes get leaked. Without a hash corresponding to a user account it's quite hard to break in to a given account with a moderately reasonable password, even if the hash can be 'brok

At the company I worked for previously we frequently used a firewire DMA attack such as inception ( http://www.breaknenter.org/projects/inception/ ) to gain access to computers, and dump ram to recover other passwords.
