I studied physics, and I learnt actual programming and assembly language: I actually did this in the real world! What do you learn in Computer Science then?! Gibbering useless concepts that makes you non-sensical experts in the field of not

There are so many security issues being unveiled that at this point one might wonder if Rails 4 (and a complete redesign) may not be the way to fix the security issues. Maybe also, if ruby programmers learned to program (instead of doing ba

I am voiceless: why would the f*ck would someone loose such that much time on a trivial, yet annoying task? That is the first lesson you have in assembly language: program in assembly language, then in C because it spares you the time (and

Well it is a known QA practice: never base incentive on metrics or people will cheat one way or another with the metrics. If your dev have a prime based on SLA or tickets solved guess what? You are giving them an incentive to cheat. You wil

I noticed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_heap had a (slighlty) improved version of the binary Heap copy pasted from the same book.

Unless you have a sensitivity to the initial conditions, hence you have a chaotic system. Which happens as fast as n body interactions in a gravitational field (but how many bodies/iterations do you need, which initial conditions makes the

Well, I would discourage playing with math if accuracy was important. Just open firebug and multiply >>> 10*1.1198 11.197999999999999 This limitation is intrinsic to IEEE 754, and no alternative are in the pipe (IEEE8

You really want to play with physics/math with ECMA 262? O_O (hint JS knows nothing of integers) Floats are way to slow (and faulty when div/mul are called) compared to int to do anything serious. All 3D engines tricks are about doing com

Are any jailbreaked iphones with privacy patches installed being leaked? Xhi2 analysis is not only about what triggers the correlation, what does not trigger the correlation is also important. My guess is jailbreaked are underrepresented

Well, I like to exaggerate a little bit. Especially since sociopathy/asperger are rather ill defined. So discard all my remarks as pure troll (don't feed the troll :). The real point is there are no truly acceptable positive feedbacks if on

by ObnoxiousJul 14y ago
because if you are really a coder you prefer negative feedbacks than a false confidence. Even though it is yet socially unacceptable, social rules are stupids. You cannot earn any glory in publishing your code if people don't tell the truth

Thanks. I do despise stupid brainless people: they are a threat to all the things I believe in: democracy, science, fun, sex, good taste & style.

Well, upvoting means I think it is interesting. You usually dont upvote hoaxes I hope (especially the unfunny one). This is clearly an hoax in the first form (JS exploit). At most (if real) it is just an exploit of a specific browser (versi

@drewcrawford, you can't even read x86 ASM? O_o The exploit described in stackoverflow, works only for IE and a version of windows where the memory addresses are not randomized (which most modern OS do have ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad

by ObnoxiousJul 14y ago
well, figure that if it were true, Java, python, Perl, c# are useless tools for delivering cross x86 OS code. (I just develop a side effect of the claim one can inject some code in memory bypassing all the HW/OS control). Why God these stup

Hum .... Porting C to js... Are you serious? Where are your pointers, ASM registers in js? The claim you could inject arbitrary code from JS into your memory and make it executable from user space (not talking of the cross platform issue (B

mouhahah okay read the code. It mainly writes: you have been hacked on a web page. End of the story.

The code is obscure, therefore the idiots think it is profound. Or rephrased by JG: the bigger the troll, the easier it shall pass. The more I read HN, the more bewildered I get at the gullibility that seems to prevail amongst self called g

most painful bugs are in the conception, thus at paper level. And also most breakthrough are also in simple efficient conception. Delivering is what most people calls craft. I do pride myself in delivering, however, any monkey coder can del

The core of programming is creativity. No developers develop the same way, and even though there are some obvious ways, there seldom exists an absolute all cases best way. It is the thesis of the mythical month (F. Brooks) and I do like thi

Right way to write PHP indeed. Sometimes I wish PHP itself was written this way. Oh! The guide does not mention the case: if a class contains only one static method, please, use a function. It does not look as educated, but it's obviously a

As described, static or lighttpd for static and reverse proxy for the domain achieves more than one goal: * you can serve page faster; * you can mix on a same domain more than one app from different servers in the DMZ (for sharing domain ba

That's why I like your definition. It also frames me. It is witty. ^_^

Yes, it is about ideas not words. You can learn the word, it does not forcibly tell you about the ideas. Especially the new one. If a software has been done, buy it! It will be almost always less expensive than building it. If it has not b
