cmircea··on Request for Java 8 support on Google App Engine
It converts lambdas to anonymous inner classes, just like you would write manually in Java 7.
cmircea··on Bing Webmaster Tools does not support HTTPS SNI
As opposed to CloudFlare providing an SSL certificate for each IP and adding your domain name to the SAN list for $20 a month.

That seems like a better option as a fallback when SNI is not available.

cmircea··on Visual C++ Cross-Platform Mobile
Yes, on the properties of the file you can specify whether to compile as C or C++. It can also be set as a project default.

I believe files with the .c extensions are compiled as C, not C++.

cmircea··on Marking HTTP as Non-Secure
> Surely anyone who can see the handshake can also decrypt what follows.

No. That's the whole point of SSL/TLS.

cmircea··on Marking HTTP as Non-Secure
With ECDSA only certificates, which are even less supported by old browsers than SNI.
cmircea··on Universal SSL
OCSP?
cmircea··on Why TLS is called "TLS", not "SSL 3.1"
Yes. SSL 3.0 is okay, but not 2.0.
cmircea··on Despite Attempts to Get Users To Upgrade From XP, 30% Still Use It
Because their software only runs on Windows. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
cmircea··on Recovered Mt. Gox Financials
You could also paste that into the developer console.
cmircea··on Netflix Agrees to Pay Comcast to End Web Traffic Jam
You have to remember that, compared to the US, Ireland is tiny. The majority of the US population does not live in large urban areas, who while New York for example might have lots of choices, Spokane probably doesn't.
cmircea··on Netflix Agrees to Pay Comcast to End Web Traffic Jam
Not when their competitors will do the same. Heck, what competitors? Many areas only have Comcast service!
cmircea··on Salted Password Hashing – Doing it Right
Has the BCrypt code for all other languages been formally verified?
cmircea··on Jim Weirich's final GitHub commit
Heart attack.

:(

cmircea··on WhatsApp issued takedown against alternative clients a week before acquisition
No law is reasonable.
cmircea··on Important Kickstarter Security Notice
You could just always do a hash using SHA1 then feed that to bcrypt. This way you only have one code path, for all users.
cmircea··on DigitalOcean opens a Singapore Datacenter
You get what you pay for.

    2GB RAM, 50GB disk, 2TB bw, 2 IPv4, 100Mbps
    STEALOFADEAL (coupon) - 12 months, $40

I only considered the base monthly price; you can definitely get it cheap with coupons and yearly plans.
cmircea··on DigitalOcean opens a Singapore Datacenter
500GB bandwidth you say? That is the plan with only 128MB of memory; you can't run many things with so little memory. The 512MB plan at RamNode is $7.5, 50% more.
cmircea··on What the Heck is Happening to Windows?
Dependency Walker. That is what you need to see which DLLs are needed.
cmircea··on How to Save 90% on your S3 Bill
What if Redis goes down?
cmircea··on Why I love the Microsoft BizSpark Programme
It's even better - you get an MSDN subscription for up to 10 people, each with $150 Azure credits ($200 first month) and you can use all of them in production. That's $1500.
cmircea··on Why I love the Microsoft BizSpark Programme
Look into the usage breakdown.
cmircea··on AWS Tips, Tricks, and Techniques
Windows Azure, but it doesn't offer everything AWS has (though it does offer some stuff AWS doesn't have).

It's not cheaper though.

cmircea··on Keyboard innovation is making them worse
That's a lame excuse for not having a backlit keyboard.
cmircea··on AOL Sells Winamp And Shoutcast to Online Radio Aggregator Radionomy

cmircea··on DigitalHax – Allows you to recover data from "Destroyed" Digital Ocean VM
It only works if you're lucky to land on a drive that hasn't been zeroed when the previous VM was deleted.
cmircea··on We’re About to Lose Net Neutrality
Bandwidth and number of incoming connections.
cmircea··on Moonpig: a billing system that doesn't suck
But... if your data is hierarchical in nature, then trying stuff it into a relational database results in a giant clusterfuck.

Just use the right tool for the job.

cmircea··on Moonpig: a billing system that doesn't suck
40 millicents? Or 40 cents? There's a difference.
