I'll probably be downvoted for this, but if I were you I would try to avoid getting wildcard certs.

Once you have a wildcard cert, you'll find all kinds of places you want to start using it...the web site, the production system, the blog, the mail server, the remote access server, and so on. But effectively they mean that if, say, your blog gets pwned, then everything in your production is pwned and has to be revoked and re-certificated (and the security advisory is much uglier).

Find an inexpensive one of the top 10 CAs (other than GoDaddy of course) - it hardly matters which. IMHO there's no reason you should have to pay per-server for a cert. It makes disappointingly little difference who you go with on the server side, especially if you generate your own keys and CSR, then the CA never even sees your private key.

Comodo's private key was not hacked. They did issue some fraudulent certs through hacked resellers, but that compromised the security of all users equally.
The importance of recycling:-
Recycling has gained elementary significance in the past few years. The importance and the need of recycling cannot be denied. It is equally important internationally as well as domestically.
Have replied on Quora but generally speaking my advice is that it's really hard to get through to these guys. They're busy, they get hustled all day every day.

However if you approach their media or advertising agency you may be able to get in with a recommendation.

What specifically are you trying to pitch in? Feel free to drop me a line to discuss approaches that have worked for us.
why does this post exist?
There's a reason why this happens more often in languages like Java.
Because of the verbosity of the language, it's just painful to rewrite
anything, even if the current solution isn't that much over engineered. So
there might be a greater tendency to over engineer at the beginning, just
to avoid any rewriting, which at the end isn't possible.

I'm a full time C++ developer, which might be a bit better in this regard
than Java, but not that much, and a hobby Haskell programmer, and one of
the greatest things about Haskell is it's brevity. It makes rewriting a
lot less painful, so you're not avoiding it that much.
hmm...well I almost got convinced that I should use above technique a lot until I read that.

Short-circuiting can lead to errors in branch prediction on modern processors, and dramatically reduce performance (a notable example is highly optimized ray with axis aligned box intersection code in ray tracing)[clarification needed]. Some compilers can detect such cases and emit faster code, but it is not always possible due to possible violations of the C standard. Highly optimized code should use other ways for doing this (like manual usage of assembly code).[citation needed]
Thanks. For my SAAS app where I need to issue <<customername>>.<<mydomain>>.com it will be very expensive to start with if I do not go for wildcard.

I understand the risk & re-certification issue and will look into this further.
Hah, I've done something similar to this, except it uses SVN. Cross platform too! But you know what sucked? Performance. SVN is slooowwwww when it came to binary files.

You can check it out here.
I've never been a big fan of design like that. I like it subtly and in moderation--not like that Apple buttons. I've always found that certain elements of Apple's UIs stand out too much (scroll bars and buttons mainly).

I personally like minimalist design (like HN, actually). From what I've seen, WP7 has the most minimalist interface of the main mobile systems, and I am drawn to it (if only it wasn't so closed and supported by a moderately annoying company...).
Sounds like an idea. The security principle of "enumerating the good" rather than "enumerating the bad" is an old one. You could define an HTML subset that would be acceptable, perhaps putting total size limits on certain things. That approach would also have effect of keeping the decision of what's acceptable unbiased.
Why don't they require the peers to provide them with a bank account and then check up with the bank?

It would require setting up a false bank account with enough money. That's harder than false ID and stolen credit card.

If the above isn't enough, add an income statement.

Then you get billed for how much you use the car.

Citation needed indeed. It's logically equivalent to an if/else and the compiler probably knows that.

That sounds like someone may be thinking about the conditional-move and family on some CPU instructions. That could certainly interact with the branch prediction, but there's nothing about the operators that necessitate it.

Sure, it may be that some compilers do generate different code and some runs faster than others, but that's just not the kind of thing you can tell without benchmarking those very specific conditions. If you're writing a ray tracer, you're probably are going to want to hand-tune the assembly but that's not the common case of C and C++ programming.
Isabel De Los Rio’s Diet Solution program:
Everyone wants to reduce excessive fats and obesity to stay fit and attractive and most of the money is wasted on unreliable programs. A program which is based upon guiding us about diet which is free from any health risk is recommended by many persons. Isabel de los Rio’s Diet Program provides much more than that and that’s why it is recommended by doctors.
What kind of status are we talking here? Social standing? Authority role? Charisma? Persuasion?
Why look for alternatives instead of changing the default setting of a program that works really well?
it makes it harder for people to accept their own non-ideal bodies as beautiful

That's because usually (if not always) non-ideal bodies are not beautiful. I feel like there's a giant disconnect between people like you (sweeping generalization, no offense intended) and people around me. You see a girl with some extra weight and you may think she should ignore it, and hop on a computer. Here, most (yes, most) of the girls go to the gym and exercise.

Also, often the girls aren't even trying to please men. One friend of mine spends a lot of her time making Youtube videos on nail decoration. Do her thousands of followers think men will be irresistibly attracted to the detailed glitter polish on their nails? No.

I understand your desire to make the genders equal, but I think you're being blinded because of it.
Neither is TrueCrypt. I'd love to use it with Dropbox on my Android phone, but that's just not possible. I use EncFS on Dropbox for certain files that I know I will not need to access on my phone. That's an annoying compromise though. I'd much rather encfs the entire thing.
> The answer to that is that if you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you're screwed anyway, and should fix your program.

That particular cliché doesn't work if the essential complexity of data/algorithms you're working with implies more than three levels of decision-making. This can easily occur with graph-related operations like subgraph matching and graph rewriting, for example.

Splitting out the inner levels of such algorithms into separate functions doesn't gain you anything (unless the particular nesting you've got represents a subgraph that is meaningful in its own right out of context, of course) so deep nesting within a single function may be making the best of a fundamentally awkward modelling problem.
Not quite true in my experience. I have a Nexus S. My daily usage:

- Around 1 hour surfing, reading feeds, playing games

- Around 5-10 minutes calls (GSM or Skype)

- Around 1 hour with music (screen off)

- Checking time, emails, or message with it (10-12 times a day)

The battery lasts for one day. I learned to charge it every night. My cousin has an iPhone 4 and it's almost the same thing.
The occupy camps have been largely impotent. Whatever immeasurable metaphysical success they've found thus far is more than likely purely coincidental. The collective attitudes of all individuals tend to shift in similar directions when shit gets bad enough. If the building is on fire, most people are going to head for the exits. Claiming that it was OWS that got people talking about income inequality is kind of silly. And even if that is their one success, it's a pretty meaningless victory when shit like NDAA is being passed. "Did you hear? Corporations run this country..." / "No I didn't Bob, I'm being detained indefinitely at GITMO for arguing with a flight attendant."

> Meanwhile a nation-wide protest movement has at the very least succeeded in planting the issue of systemic economic injustice into mainstream public discourse on a daily basis.

Not a single person has mentioned OWS (in a non ironic sense) to me in probably more than a month. In that time, the internet fought tooth and nail to stop something they disagreed with, and they at least saw some semblance of success. And while the bill has only been delayed, it's quite clear that the 'hands on' approach to protesting is more effective than shitting in public places and getting beat up by the police.

As a disclaimer, I did originally have high hopes for OWS. The people were passionate, and they had the energy needed. But their lack of direction and purpose shortly became apparent, and their almost A.D.D. like inability to focus on something became laughable. They would become so easily distracted by petty violence and police abuse that 90% of the occupy videos on YouTube are about the police. Which of course resulted in the majority of media attention being given to local police issues and not the widespread economic corruption they original fought against.

Once it became apparent that the occupy groups weren't going to try and shift their attention or direct themselves towards a goal, the whole thing deteriorated into a repetitive circus of hide and go seek with local police. Ultimately, they succeeded in removing any momentum they had and have literally become stagnant.
Can you elaborate on the 4S battery life issue?

I've only had my iPhone 4S for a week, but I haven't noticed anything drastically worse than my iPhone 4.

It certainly hasn't ran out of power during the course of a day yet.
is it just me or does a £1,550.00 bid for cheap arm based computer look a bit insane?
First time I've ever heard of Khun so Im far from qualified but I think what the author is getting at is the copycat nature of the startup ecosystem. Especially lately, there seems to be a focus by many entrepreneurs and investors to replicate previous successes as fast and as cheaply as possible by following a template. This paradigm discourages people from pushing on the doors that look big, heavy and risky but these are the doors when unlocked that typically lead to explosions in innovation and become the next drivers of the economy.

The problem is that those heavy doors are usually expensive to push on and with the falterings of our government and higher education systems there are less entities that seem to be focusing on the hard, immediately unprofitable stuff. For example, think of all the innovations that have come out of NASA and now that seems to be slowly becoming dismembered.

Its really hard to actually know but I feel like social, mobile, media, web 2.0, etc. are nice iterations within the computing world with a lot of growth but aren't really game changing innovations. I think what you are saying is that through these iterations the next big thing will appear. I can see this as a trajectory as well - lets just hope Groupon and Zynga don't end up being the biggest advances of this decade.
Please, stop this crap.

Your last two paragraphs are just speculation.

Cannot tell, if this is more naive or stupid. Girls grow up knowing that by being attractive they will be able manipulate men, not to please them :)

You should fully understand the same-origin implications of such a design before deploying it.

For example, if <<customername>> is able to set cookies or run script (e.g., via XSS), they will be able to set cookies that affect everything under <<mydomain>>.com. Under some circumstances they will even be able to read back the values.

It's a compromise. The end point is to improve readability and understand-ability of your code. Sometimes nesting play well. I think the author took a very simple example just for the sake of it. The reality is when you don't have alternatives, you end up with spaghetti code.

I think this is the true sexism: to think that some are entitled to tell others what and how we should think about the women and what they should do. "No girls, you should not care about your body, go tinker with computers!"

I currently charge 95/hr. Been doing a mix of Python/PHP/JavaScript and know my way around their associated frameworks and CMSes (Cake/Django/Flask/Drupal/CodeIgniter). I've done only freelance for 5 years and have worked in Austin and Portland. Rates are probably higher in SF.
You're not making a very convincing argument.
I don't think that comment is intended for the scenario listed above, it's more appropriate for SIMD code where it's often better to calculate both execution paths and then select (using vsel/vec_sel(a,b) on Altivec or the equivalent bitwise logical operations on SSE) the value using masks generated by comparison operators, if only because the penalties associated with performing a branch on a SIMD result are often significant.
How about:

Seriously. Have you done any A/B testing. Do you have any stats from his traffic and conversion rates. Did you read his clients minds? A good website is not a "nice" one. A good website is a one that does the best conversion and satisfy the customer.

P.S: I used to think that way until I saw my dad browse the Internet. He was looking for solar panels and hit a Chinese website. The website was 95 like, and my dad said "This guys look great". He only cared about the pictures, prices and specification. He copy/paste their email and contacted them.
Thanks for the thorough reply. I think his argument fits for C, but the linked article uses three different OO languages that would require a deeper "top-level", so I don't think it's fair to copy/paste his quote without any explanation or context.
Considering that both Google and Bing are "ad-supported sites", the big problem for most people (including me) wouldn't be that there would be less content but that it would be too painful to find.
Apple doesn't allow just anybody into the "enterprise" program. Your company has to have at least 500 employees and a Dun and Bradstreet number. I found this out the hard way, when a company I was working with had their enterprise application rejected by Apple.

I'm increasingly a fan of local named functions in JS, vs. pulling callbacks entirely out of scope. An example:

function compile(filename, ready) {
return fs.readFile(filename, make_fn)

function make_fn(err, data) {
if(err) return ready(err)

ready(null, new Function(data))
}
}

Which neatly addresses the desire to retain closures, while avoiding unnecessary nesting.

Also, whenever possible, I like to nix callbacks by using Function#bind:

res.on('data', accum.push.bind(accum))

// vs:
res.on('data', function(data) { accum.push(data) })

Thank you for articulating this so crisply. I realize that I have the same idea as well that "most people can't".

Where did we get this idea come from? I'm genuinely curious.

I've recently taken a huge bet in the opposite direction of this assumption that not everybody can learn coding, and I'm very interested in what (if any) evidence exists on both sides of the argument.
Maybe indeed.

He didn't really have a definite pattern for higher status except they used more articles, however lower status used more "I"s.

Yet later in the book he also mentioned mirrored language and who reflects who. He also had some sort of web program that measured the difference between the two. I think that correlates with the goals of this study.
Yes - everybody is free to disagree with me, but I also got to that point in the article and their objectifications reduced my sympathy significantly. It just seemed trashy.
This paper doesn't necessarily answer why people can't program, it just points out some pretty interesting discoveries.

I would say embedded systems is more of a CE major than CS, but before you decide on what you want to major in, do take time to reflect on whether you would have worked on it even if you had no one paying you money for it. There are multiple fields that will just keep growing over the years, but you need to love it enough to have your learning keep growing with it as well!

It's likely you had some exposure to embedded systems either through a relative who works in the field or you saw a senior project, and that makes it interesting to you: you bet it is. However, it's very much an interdisciplinary field requiring in-depth understanding of the physics and software of the device you are designing or developing against.

Consider building robots. I guess it's one of the applications of embedded systems that will just keep growing over the coming years, and will get more funding as companies try to automate their workflow to reduce costs.

Now, would you consider building robots on your own if no one paid you?

Then you must ask yourself: would you have enough drive to trace out and debug why your robot resets every time its motors start running at full speed even when you have already double checked "everything that could possibly go wrong"?
