for all the downvoters, it's pretty undeniable that as far as security is concerned, it was amateur hour at phpfog.

php... a language by amateurs, for amateurs. phpfog... a service by amateurs, for amateurs.

accounting can get pretty creative sometimes.

they already reached a settlement with Amazon last year. MS is going to get their way with B&N too.

yeah it's not like there's been any recent developments of note in that region at all either, huh

it's where you go to update your profile to indicate to others that you're looking for a new job.

Mostly I think it's more a cultural quirk of some European countries and I don't really care all that much. What bothers me more is stuff like this: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2014271060_b...

and cell phones, texting, wifi, email ... it's about communication in general, yo.

there's more than one buyer out there for vulns

heh yeah I prefer vulns that never get disclosed except to clients that can pay a lot more.

Twitter is a long con just like many other successful businesses, for example Google.

there are many who would classify some building codes as unnecessary and some as absolutely essential, but for others the difference between the two is just too much to fathom... and as a result of their brains hurting so much, or from ulterior motives, they come up with something completely asinine: remove all regulations, they're too hard, and let's just find out what happens!

turns out, most of the time that's actually too much for everyone else to fathom, frankly.

Good point :)

Here's a different take, then, and probably harder to verify, but I am guessing is true:

Cache utilization has increased much more than RAM or HD, not just because programs are handling more data but also because of increases in program size and number of programs being run simultaneously.

Your hard drive is probably not full... RAM could be, depends on your workload... but I bet most caches are churning like mad, more than they used to be.

"modern C++" has changed meanings so many times in the past 10 years that it's not funny anymore. there's always some "modern" solution in C++ that ends up causing more problems, leading to further "modern" solutions that end up... you get my point.

some folks have decided to get off the C++ feature treadmill and go back to, well... getting things done with solid languages (e.g. C) instead of learning about the latest C++ non-solutions to non-problems.

Cache sizes have not seen gains proportional to RAM or HDs.

no kidding. trying to make a better c++ is like trying to make a better cvs. just don't bother.

you're only going to need 16+ IPs if you're making those outbound connections to the same destination IP & port... which seems unlikely.

This book is like a self-help book... it mostly makes you feel good, otherwise mostly worthless. People who like this book are probably bad programmers.

TechFlash is fluffy Seattle-area "tech" company news. Mostly covers consumer-facing internet "startups" or Microsoft. Doesn't really talk much tech at all.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

cool story. maybe there'll be a movie about it someday.

Is Apache a DSL?

I agree that the manifesto doesn't explicitly claim to support all kinds of ADTs. It just wasn't clear.

Manifesto without a marketing intention... interesting :)

Call me a grumpy programmer but "optimizing for joy" reminds me of Ruby's "a programmer's best friend". Come on, keep it real... less marketing. For example, how is Redis a DSL? Is everything a DSL these days? How is it for ADTs in general? It's not for all ADTs, just the ones that are very commonly used, the ones you support. Which is good, but it's another example of your marketing missing the mark.

Who is John Galt's housekeeper?

It's more a comment on the justification for authors to shut up because of what's in the license, which is far more stupid, sorry.

the license doesn't say he can't complain, yo.

this must mean that objectivism is true!

too late. no basis for it anyway.

I think of this as the difference between power and authority. juries have the power to reach any verdict they want, but rightly or wrongly the legal system tells them they only have the authority to reach verdicts according to certain rules. everything seems structured in favor of getting juries that forget they have the power to reach any verdict they want, again for better or worse...

funny that legal systems spend so much time justifying to themselves what is legitimate even when it results in absurd, unjust conclusions...

legal systems don't want laypeople muddying the waters of their absurdities.

who cares what a professional shill thinks anyway.
