Yes, when it's worked for me, the team has also been great. What I mean, though, is that scrum was an active benefit to us. The project would've gone well with or without scrum because the team was good, but scrum was helping us a

I've seen it work to the benefit of everyone before (I'm a developer). It's not a pipe dream.

Nail, meet head. I've worked in places where scrum has worked great. But most places I've worked at or heard about have exactly the problems you describe.

I went down the rabbit hole on this one a little. They're sending a SHA256 hash of the user's mac address with every telemetry event (which can be trivially reversed. I leave it to the reader to decide whether MAC addresses are pe

You could cut down the search space a lot by only enumerating the MAC addresses of known vendors ( https://gist.github.com/aallan/b4bb86db86079509e6159810ae9bd... ). That cuts the search space down to 23000 vendors * 0xF

I wonder why there are non-enumerable properties in the first place? I know they can't change the behavior now, either way.

Even worse than that, it looks like there _were_ unit tests to check that input was correctly sanitized, but the patch that introduced the bug also explicitly changed the unit tests to ensure that input was _not_ being escaped! A mistake th

I will be interested to see if the same companies do actually stop emailing me and delete my information after I ignore their request to opt in!

I have an XPS 13 and also cannot recommend it. Same deal with the coil whine (it's a very annoying buzz sound). After a while, my battery began to swell too, which has broken the touchpad and visibly elevated the keyboard.

So your friend is benevolent enough to not trigger the bug again because it would be wrong, but not benevolent enough to report the bug to Coinbase? Right...

It's not a given that Apple will continue to generate insane profit. Apple will remain very valuable because it has tangible assets that can be sold (book value). So with a total lack of investor confidence, the price floor of Apple sh

It's determined based on several factors like whether you set your own schedule, whether you use your own equipment, whether you have a manager, whether you have autonomy to complete your work how you see fit. There are no hard-and-fas

Thanks for your very thorough reply! I will definitely run the numbers when I get back home. One thing I noticed from a first reading: You didn't include the expenses payments as income (intentionally or not), which is an extra £5000 a

Ah, my apologies. I got you mixed up with the parent comment poster. To explain anyway: As a contractor with a limited company, I have two options when it comes to moving money from my company to my personal account. 1) Set my salary to be

I am new to the contracting game in the UK, but I haven't met a software contractor yet who isn't using this approach. My accountant even recommended it to me when I set up. It is definitely a non-trivial tax saving. Do you pay yo

I'd like to see some specific examples of tax avoidance tricks that Apple are using. There are a few mentions of how the "techniques aren't affordable for small business", but what are the techniques?

by Cakez0r 9y ago
That's an interesting case to bring up. In the UK, it is very common (I'd go as far as to say it's the norm) for software contractors to start a single-person limited company and pay themselves through a mixture of salary and

I've (unfortunately) had to work with this rule before. The justification was that it makes the code more readable. I can understand banning SQL style linq and allowing only functional style, but I guess that's more of a personal
