I'm just not sure their finances are able to support a first rate hand held device
That makes no sense. I don't care what state your finances are in, it's never in your financial interest to make crap and anger your customer base. This is especially true of Nintendo: their reputation for hardware quality is pretty damn good.
I have had a few clueless IT people contact me asking for a digital version, but I turn them down saying I'm looking for a real job, not a bullshit job.
That sounds unduly dismissive. You don't want a technically competent boss who favours digital CVs?
If they ask for a.docx file rather than a PDF, then you should worry.
Unless we're talking about fast start-up, that doesn't seem likely.
But yes, if you're writing performance-critical code at the level of worrying about cache behaviour and branching, maybe Java isn't the tool for the job.
AC here is being an asshole, but really does have a point. The concrete numbers here do matter, and by the looks of things none of us actually know them.
I wonder if Netflix worry about a situation where you can dump a movie to disk by doing a save-state on your VM. (See also: their offline-viewing feature is only available on locked-down devices.)
I've seen Chromecast cache over 3 minutes of Netflix, but I'm fairly sure that's about as high as it gets.

But it's still a 4-digit problem, no? This could be brute-forced by a TI-82.
And, if you're in Canada, live under their M.A.D. protection.
Difference being that Nintendo have a valuable reputation to start with.

Non-answer. Scanning a heap of CVs would take some time.
And no, I don't buy it. Not if it's being filtered by a secretary working to inflexible criteria.
I was thinking the web. Gmail is the same on every browser, every OS.
In my opinion though Java, and multi-platform frameworks like Qt, do a better job than the cynics are willing to admit.

Good on you for digging out the real figures -- hadn't realised Apple really are seeing declining sales, not just declining market-share.
(Aside: I don't get why anyone would post as AC for their 'privacy'.)
We are running interpreted half the time anyway

This may well be DRM, not just over-engineering.

You're ignoring the difference between proportional market share, and absolute numbers.
Depends on how much debt he has, and to whom.
But got a criminal record and an 'interesting' story for future job interviews, right?
No. Read the article.
For the avoidance of doubt: the bug is not in Ragel itself. It is in Cloudflare's use of Ragel. This is our bug and not the fault of Ragel.
They then explain that the root of the bug was a mistake in their flow-control which triggered an inappropriate pointer-increment.
most multi-national teams standardize on Englis

Non-native C?
Whatever next!?
Does this prove that programming language design has no impact on software quality? No? Then I don't care.
Of course there will always be some non-zero number of bugs in mainstream software. That doesn't mean we can't improve things.
If we're feeling obtuse: that kinda is yet another new programming langauge... it's just one which happens to be a strict subset of an existing one.
used to mean
Who cares what it used to mean?
Languages evolve. So what?
Uh. If the president gets tried for corruption, that means he's not above the law.
When they don't get tried for corruption, one can't easily tell if it's because of innocence, or a broken system.
That's a pretty lazy attempt to look wise and cynical.
Could you summarise?
Ah, the old I'm bitter and cynical, so fuck it all.
Baby steps, my friend.
It's not the ads I mind- it's the fact they're data-mining my e-mail in the first place.
Agree. If I were going to pay for email, I'd want strong assurances.
Corporations now have such a hard-on for data-mining, they'll likely do it even if it doesn't actually generate revenue.
