At least in my "C 101" class they said using rand() is good enough.
For this class.
I didn't know better than srand(time(NULL)) until the course in cryptography. Perhaps this just means my university wasn't "world class"
that would not let similar flaws to plague the hypervisor ever again
Can we trust people to critique code who can't even manage English grammar?
Yes. Very few program is written in English. C is more common.
And looking at the Qubes OS team https://www.qubes-os.org/team/, I'd bet English isn't the primary language for most of them.
What happened to people actually making things with their hands?
Craftsmanship is still going strong, I think.
Was about to mod parent 'troll', then all of a sudden, in the middle of the post the AC reverts 180 degrees:
Systemd has caused me nothing but problems
So I posted this comment instead.
Ufnfortunatly most of the programing tools I use for embedded systems are windows only.
Wait wat?
Which embedded systems do you target? I've been doing embedded systems for 10+ years now, and the only tool I need Windows for is Excel - to fill in the company travel expenses.
Synopsys, Mentor, Xilinx, Altera, TI, ARM - they all run on Linux. Plus all the compilers for the microcontrollers tend to be gcc based anyways. And the small startup companies' embedded system IDEs seem to invariably be built on Eclipse.
Have I just been lucky? Or do we define 'embedded' diferently?
I want to be the first to welcome our poison-injecting robotic overlords.
I do hope whoever wrote the pattern recognition algorithm checked, double checked & triple checked it.
And then sent it for code-review, static and dynamic code analyzers and finally
open sourced it for the swarm of eyeballs that surely audit the code for free.
Because capitalism.
Company X does what you suggest, company Y carries on. Pretty soon company Y has more viewers, just because they are putting out more stuff.
Reminds me about the last stages at the fall of communism. Or the shoe event horizon on Frogstar B.
Can someone clue me in on the technical background of this?
No. This is not how
No he is not kidding. Are you?
Yesterday was my first time too hearing about Popcorn Time:

I've never played scrabble. The only place I've seen scrabble played (if it is the game that looks like a crossword puzzle?) is in Hollywood movies. Somehow it smacks of anglosaxon culture.
I'm not frrench, so I am curious: how popular is this game in France?
I agree with the AC here.
No no no.
The summary even says: "The new service manager gives the power back to you"
"Woosh", I believe is the term.
Or does CERN stand for something else than Conseil Europeen pour la Recherche Nucleaire back there?
(pardon my french,
Alternatively, because procreation is a societal good, we can incentivize specifically mothers in this fashion. I trust that women wouldn't just have kids to get this benefit, and who pays for it is an open question, but it still seems like a perverse incentive - and in any case it may not be legal to do this.
I see this thread is completely pointless from now on & uptill now.
should be payed. That's the crux. I don't think anyone disagrees that the majority of the gender gap is due men and women doing different jobs, on average. Its just that not everyone thinks the causality is one-way.
No two persons can be evaluated to be of equal value, and have equal pay, especially in expert positions (which CS mostly is). And if gender correlates with pay differences, that means that gender discrimination is happening.
Or that the one sex is better than the other at that particular job. But with the quality of the work being extremely difficult to measure objectively, we can only assume the former.
There is no point in sticking your head in the sand by saying the gender gap is illegal to uphold. It won't change status quo.
