Exactly. This isn't talking about a security hole where private messages appeared in search results. Users posted message transcripts on third party sites where, of course, they got indexed.
Right, although there are options to combine the two.
Shader language can be used to write raytracers running entirely on the GPU, rendering the output to merely two textured triangles streched over the screen.
However as we are talking about Clojure, not shader languages, an alternative way would be offloading some of the weight lifting to OpenGL, for example by calculating visibility using the videocard's z-buffers or creating shadow maps by rendering the scene from the lights' viewpoint into shadow buffers and using the results in the raytracer.
Yes, I know it's a nitpick but if there is only 1 exception, it is not mostly. If he says mostly, there is a suggestion that there may be other even primes.
I had this fun idea of registering an email address with an username being a common noun. Although I found it strange that the address was still available, but I didn't care too much about it, I was happy to have the account. (You know, new inbox smell).
And then emails started to arrive to the address. Of course, lots of them were spam-spam-spam-spam. But there were also some personal letters. For a while I thought it was some mistake, and replied nicely to them pointing it out, and tried to inquire about what could be the reason behind the confusion, but never really figured out.
The mails kept coming, and I realized that they weren't even addressed to the same person. Up to now I have at least 30 alteregos, giving out my email address to their friends, relatives, and using it in an attempt to register on web sites. Most of them seem to be female, so I get many mails trying to hit on "me" after that talk on im or seeing my profile on some website, etc. Also pictures of nieces, invitations to bbqs, and questions about my iron and if I can bring it to "the club" next Tuesday.
Who is this guy anyways? I saw lots of submits to his blogs on HN and other sites, but they seemed short, shallow and uninteresting, so I figured they were posted because Seth Godin is some kind of authority, not because they were so good posts. But I never figured out when and how he became such an authority.
Godin is not a great blogger. He is primarily a speaker to business and seems quite good at that. Here is a video of him at Google three years ago (i.e. at the apex of Google the company) where he basically summarizes all the things he gets worked up about. I think it's a pretty effective message.
I had a course that employed the same system. The course wasn't about debuging or real world applications, it was about algorithms. The task was to implement an algorithm correctly. If you did not implement the algorithm correctly, the test cases would fail. If you did not use the correct data structure, the test would time out. That's what it's all about. No specific clues were given so you can't do workarounds taylored to the test cases, or god forbid, hardcode the expected results.
You could do as much testing on your machine as you'd like, with your debugger of choice. And when you are sure you understood the algorithm and implemented it correctly, you can submit.
It is hard to get a job in mainland Europe without knowing English (as a developer). While the "another eu language" varies from country to country, the demand for English is constant.
