well, it loads quickly because contents are provided according to your user agent and black magic with js pinging your nearest best CDN possible near you and with optimal bandwidth…

in the thread the guy explains that he works @nvidia, but not the GPU desktop BU but for tegra that seems a 'burnt on the chip' of the card minus the pci bus and one clock (memory …

well the fiducial (fiduceo I believe in latin) which people believe to have value (hash of hash of ...) requires a lot of computation thus electricity thus resources. Whatever brai…

It is not as if I was not aware that Pypi module distribution (I am a python programmer) is unsecured and that python is lucky enough to have no scrutiny of the community. Discussi…

So basically he rediscovered poorly Bauhaus works about design and some 400 years old knowledge about typography, and he missed the last 10 years in computer industry (when screen …

Thanks, I always wondered how VLC was so efficient at translating pictures in colored ASCII art.

I studied physics, and I learnt actual programming and assembly language: I actually did this in the real world! What do you learn in Computer Science then?! Gibbering useless conc…

There are so many security issues being unveiled that at this point one might wonder if Rails 4 (and a complete redesign) may not be the way to fix the security issues. Maybe also,…

I am voiceless: why would the f*ck would someone loose such that much time on a trivial, yet annoying task? That is the first lesson you have in assembly language: program in assem…

Well it is a known QA practice: never base incentive on metrics or people will cheat one way or another with the metrics. If your dev have a prime based on SLA or tickets solved gu…

I noticed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_heap had a (slighlty) improved version of the binary Heap copy pasted from the same book.

Unless you have a sensitivity to the initial conditions, hence you have a chaotic system. Which happens as fast as n body interactions in a gravitational field (but how many bodies…

Without tests at first glance I might be having false asssumptions on modern JS optimisations: NaCl (C) http://juliamap.googlelabs.com.. . VS http://www.atopon.org/mandel/# does no…

Well, I would discourage playing with math if accuracy was important. Just open firebug and multiply >>> 10*1.1198 11.197999999999999 This limitation is intrinsic to IEEE 754, and …

You really want to play with physics/math with ECMA 262? O_O (hint JS knows nothing of integers) Floats are way to slow (and faulty when div/mul are called) compared to int to do a…

Are any jailbreaked iphones with privacy patches installed being leaked? Xhi2 analysis is not only about what triggers the correlation, what does not trigger the correlation is als…

Well, I like to exaggerate a little bit. Especially since sociopathy/asperger are rather ill defined. So discard all my remarks as pure troll (don't feed the troll :). The real poi…

because if you are really a coder you prefer negative feedbacks than a false confidence. Even though it is yet socially unacceptable, social rules are stupids. You cannot earn any …

Thanks. I do despise stupid brainless people: they are a threat to all the things I believe in: democracy, science, fun, sex, good taste & style.

Well, upvoting means I think it is interesting. You usually dont upvote hoaxes I hope (especially the unfunny one). This is clearly an hoax in the first form (JS exploit). At most …

@drewcrawford, you can't even read x86 ASM? O_o The exploit described in stackoverflow, works only for IE and a version of windows where the memory addresses are not randomized (wh…

well, figure that if it were true, Java, python, Perl, c# are useless tools for delivering cross x86 OS code. (I just develop a side effect of the claim one can inject some code in…
