If you have multiple related projects that you release together, you might be interested in Google's repo[1]. That's the tool used in Android (where each app and piece of framework has it's own git repository). [1] https:&#x

So, why exactly do I want my body to care about DNA of something I'm eating? It's not like I'm expecting a symbiont, I just want it broken to very small pieces for further processing.

Sounds like it doesn't only let you try again, it actually only checks if last [password length] numbers match the password (that's why he can compress it into one long number)

The tools he writes about make writing code easier, but don't help with reading it - they just generate the boilerplate. It's a bit like checking in code after macro expansion - if the programmer didn't want to write all this stuff, why for

Not with something high-profile like banks - they should be having their security check all the time, why should someone pentest them for free? And if clients don't know how secure their bank is, they don't really have a choice other than g

I don't think so - putting "WITH FIREWALL" and "SHIELDS YOU FROM EVIL" will cost manufacturers maybe a few cents and is almost guaranteed to boost sales. And for services running behind that router there'll probably be some kind of PNP port

The more UI elements and DB integration you have the more you concentrate on business logic, yes. Of course, nothing is as reusable and generic as we would like but still having a good framework (that you can side-step if needed) helps a lo

It concerns computers with Secure Boot - technology that checks if bootloader that you are loading is signed (which is supposed to mean it's safe). It will be needed for Windows 8 certification as optional on x86 and impossible to turn off

Basically he went from "I don't know how to build Eclipse plugins" to "they are too hard to build". I don't know how hard they are to build, but it seems there are some steps missing. And most FOSS uses Autotools these days, so installation

The history for every change in existing branches is recorded - if you remove a branch you either want to discard whatever changes where there or you merged it into another one and don't need it tagged as separate branch. Commits in git are

You are talking about AGPL here - this is the only GPL version that makes you open almost everything that handled whatever AGPL program produced. I know of one project with that license, and it stopped me from using it (I couldn't relicense

LGPL doesn't allow use in closed source projects, it allows use with them. So you can use LGPL dynamically linked library with a closed program (that's what LGPL was made for), but you can't just embed LGPL library with no source and wa

Well, here the compiler won't help you with bounded access - you can easily read array[42], and it would compile (and maybe even work... but just a little bit funny ;-)). With dependent types function to get element from array may have type

You can use a language with dependent types (types depending on values, so you can have arrays of type "array of 10 ints" etc.) - it adds some type-level work, but makes a lot of mistakes not even compile. But complicated type systems are,

Moore's Law was about the amount of transistors you can put in a chip cheaply, so it may be coming to an end. But I don't think it will stop machines from getting faster - we are seeing lots of progress in multi-core usage even on desktop a

I hope reasoning with terrorists attacking research plants will give some results, but I'm afraid it still wont stop them - they are the same kind of people who blow up infidels or try to get rid of "lesser race". Still, it's a peaceful ste
