The big ones will be fine. They are already using filters. It's all the forums and such that have no way to implement the technology that the upcoming directive calls for, and they will have no choice but to block EU. Regarding news sites - usually it's the comments section that's the user created content, so I guess they could simply remove that for EU visitors, or, if that feels like a hassle, just block EU.
Maybe I'm too cynical about politics, but it appears to me that the point of these hearings is not to solve or investigate anything, it's to generate soundbites that voters or potential future voters would like. It's not even that important what the reply is, as long as the politician asks the hard question and demonstrates his concern, and if it makes the news & press, that's victory for them.
For simple, non-critical stuff this is the simplest solution I've come up with - if you don't need real-time aggregated logs (i.e. you only want to archive them) and you have log rotation configured, you can simply use cron with "aws s3 sync" or rsync for the logs folder.
Well, no, not really. Western countries always get a huge backlash for any military activity in any region. This is where the propaganda and state controlled media opinion would be very useful, at least for the military.
Surface Pro comes close to this - it's very small and easy to carry around, and you could use the Surface docking stations for easier transitions I suppose. The only difference from your dream is that the display doesn't come off, but sometimes it can be an advantage.
What I want is to have docking stations with extra computing power/GPU/RAM/HDD etc built in, so that I can keep the small Surface with its limited battery for the road but have an absurdly powerful desktop PC when I dock it.
It's a memory cache to take some load off your DB. The good thing about Redis is the useful data structures it supports: lists, sets, hashes, bitmaps and somewhat more specific sorted sets.
We're using Delphi with various component packs. It would be very expensive to buy all the components at once but we bought all the tools necessary during the previous years one by one. If you want to make Windows apps and you can ignore developer community's hostility against Pascal, then I would recommend Delphi, but if you plan on making cross-platform solutions then take a look at Qt.
Pirating will happen, that's inevitable. The main thing here is not to make your paying customers victims in the fight against pirates and not to worry too much about your software in torrents. Make sure your keys can't be easily generated; people tend to avoid using modified executables for reasonable fear of viruses but have no problems using pirated keys.
We are using Delphi. C# is a great language and .NET is fine if you're designing for a specific customer but it's (in our opinion) not a viable option for shareware apps, as it generates decompilable executables that require a large framework to run. Most people have .NET runtime framework installed, others have no problem downloading it but it is still a problem for a percentage of the users.
We are (at http://www.blumentals.net). Windows apps, in fact, and not for big companies but regular people. I don't know what to tell you, the market is far from dead, maybe it will be dead someday, but right now things are fine. The hardest thing about making mass-distributed Windows apps is getting your good app to the customer through a pile of crappy ones.
When I set to do a task for a few minutes in order to trick myself into working all day, it never works because I already know what I'm doing and why, and the trick fails. I have been struggling with this for a long time, and I, too, have discovered that the method that works best is to suck it up and just start working.
Having never done open source before, I'm wondering about something: if an open source project is started, once it becomes popular and attracts community of developers and other contributors I assume the power shifts from the guy who started the project to the community. Does the person who started the project still retains his power to boot out the assholes from his project or not?
Windows Mesh had a bad habit of locking files unnecessarily when I was working with them, which got in my way and I had to get rid of it. Mesh sounded better on paper.
Is it impossible that one of the girls you discouraged from going into IT would love to be in the tech-centered culture you mention? Is it biologically impossible for women to enjoy exploring their field? Couldn't one of these girls turn out to be a genius and create the big picture and the vision for a change and show it to the IT guys, if only she wasn't discouraged?
Wouldn't his goals just fix the symptoms? If a programmer can't run the program in head, he most likely will program by putting strings of commands together in various combinations following his intuition or vague memory about similar code seen before, but basically it will be voodoo programming. Even by having compiler that runs it for you and tells you it's wrong, you can't get far by guessing all the time.
I'm not sure if the code was changed or my mistake. Anyway, now it will print out Fizz and then the number when number divides with 3 (but not with 5).
I don't understand why people are forced to write on whiteboard. Some get very stressed and lose their ability to think, some can't multitask (paint on whiteboard, think and talk to the interviewer at the same time). Just give them the task, give them a computer, give them 30 minutes of privacy and then let them explain the complete, working and tested solution - you get better results as this situation is more like regular coder's daily routine.
Amusing. I guess the next step is to simulate the feeling of the pressure of the brush, so you know for sure that you are indeed brushing the cat. If this can be done, the next step of casual gaming will be amazing.
As in, the data that the companies have published in their websites (calculated from all daily deals, taking in account price, discount and number of purchasers)?
Where is the data coming from? I'm a little surprised because I'm from Latvia and I knew about citylife and perkamkopa but this is the first I hear about cherry.
I remember that these cameras could make the whole picture to be in focus. I think 3-d movie makers should start using similar technology because it's kind of weird when you're watching a 3-d movie with the glasses and the background is blurred even if you're looking right at it.
