The words you are looking for are "losing" and "rogue."

Given that protecting the source IP is not a goal (keyspace is far too small for that), why use something like MD5 when something like CityHash or MurmurHash3 would do?

Competition with what? Windows, OS X? Xorg? Edit: Can't seem to reply to child, but Mir isn't really a credible competitor (See: http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2014/03/more-on-why-display-serve... . Unfortun

Maybe OP means the C# standard library is richer... I'd believe that.

Presumably the person dumping names and emails (PII/PID) on pastebin has little regard for gag orders. (And no motivation not to reveal such an order, if proof were readily available.)

Awesome, looking forward to that day :). Keep up the great work.

If they had evidence of that, why wouldn't they have pasted it as well? I'm assuming it's baseless speculation. Btw, has anyone actually confirmed any of these emails / names are real? I have a coinbase account and am no

How? They still have gobs of principal lying around making gains. Unless you mean it will help enable more progressive taxation and income redistribution via the federal government?

GPLv3 doesn't see very widespread use. Fedora tracks licenses on a package by package basis. You can fairly easily determine what the license of a library you use is, and recursively examine dependencies to see if there is something ob

The last time I looked at upb, it only supported parsing, which was a deal-breaker. Have you implemented serializing since then? It's hard to tell from the git log, which is mostly "dump from google internal sources XX-YY-ZZZZ&quo

Yes, sure. GDB-level debugging of Python programs, without something like Pyringe, is pretty useless. So I am excited for the Python-level tool for debugging Python.

As long as we're talking about professionals, Usain Bolt can sprint at 27 mph, well above 10 mph :).

This is super cool. With C programs, you can already attach gdb to a running program and start debugging, without starting the program under the debugger. Before pyringe, you couldn't do the same with Python. This will be very helpful

If you try to work on a console in such a mode, it's really spammy and interferes with ... everything. I bet you could get something similar with /dev/console and minicom, or something similar.

Thanks for explaining, this is new to me. Sounds like the situation was just less bad than the video makes it out to be :).

Why doesn't the pilot eject and let the plane crash? Is the plane more valuable than the pilot's life? (A damaged plane, no less.)

If you think you're safe: it's the same thing with Linux. Yes, good distros sign their blobs and you can probably verify that with builtin tools. However, consider how distros generate their signed binaries: 1) A packager download

The logic at the end is still in parody mode. Flawed is the point.

I agree with the sentiment, but I think your facts are a bit off and reflect HN insularity. The median 33% household income ("middle class") in the US is $30,000 to $62,500 ( household ). Even if you are the sole earner in your ho

GP made no claims about antibiotics and viruses. (S)he was simply going on a tangent about the problems with the anti-vaxx folks.

Yes, so there's absolutely no reason to use it if you're primarily targeting Linux.

The library may work, but Grand Central Dispatch, which is the whole point, is really an OS X thing. BSD may have adopted it, not sure. I'm pretty that confident Linux has not.

Yes, >20% is viable for Software Devs. Ask someone making minimum wage with no benefits to save more than 20% of their income and they will laugh at you.

Functionality: Well, libdispatch doesn't really work outside of OS X, and this is primarily targeted at Linux server apps. I can't comment on performance.

Did you publish the source anywhere, and if not, are you willing and able to? I'd love to see it.

Just read from `/dev/urandom` (free Unices). It doesn't require any 3rd party libraries, always exists, and has a great track record compared to e.g. OpenSSL. <editorializing>On Windows (or proprietary Unix), you can&#x
