leetNightshade··on Two Factor Authentication for Hybrid and Private Cloud
Definitely depends on the bank, I'm lucky enough that Bank of America provides 2FA.
leetNightshade··on A portable high-resolution timestamp in C++
Yes, thank you (TIMTOWTDI)! I was just curious to see what other's used, and was sad to see this comment: "You're writing C++ code, no need to regress back to C." Really? Sure it's from C, but it's a part of C++.

Going the route `using std::uint64_t`, you'd have to do that for every basic type. Which is fine. I'd just use that in a general header that's included everywhere in a project (stdafx, or what have you). Though at that point it doesn't really matter which you pick.

Yes, though which do you propose should be used? It's nice that the type is wrapped in the std namespace, but for something like a basic standardized type, seems like a waste. I think I'd rather include stdint.h.
leetNightshade··on A Quick Guide to Sublime Text
Don't be too envious, Sublime Text is a decent platform. Easy to install plugins on the fly from inside the editor, reloads settings on the fly, and you have a Vim (vintage) mode so you can enjoy the awesomeness that is Vim AND Sublime.
leetNightshade··on The Second Coming of Java
"...Originally, the Java virtual machine — aka the JVM — only ran code built with the Java programming language, but today, it runs all sorts of other languages..."

I'm confused what your main problem here is, besides it's almost lifted straight from Wikipedia. From Wikipedia: "Although the JVM was primarily aimed at running compiled Java programs, many other languages can now run on top of it." So, as far as I can tell from what's quoted, there's not much wrong with what was said. Please clarify.

Also, isn't Clojure a programming language? Does Wikipedia also lie here? If it's not, then what is it?
