Perhaps not as a regular income; but if funding for these projects is a limitation I bet crowdfunding would bring in funds to keep these posts coming :)

I think a completely rational company should try to understand the problem. This is a relatively "known" problem with Slack and other realtime chat (i.e. the timesink issue). It's one reason I'm always cautious every tim

A less efficient method I used was; press a key until the probability jumps up, then switch keys (probability will go down, mostly) until it goes up again. Rinse/repeat.

DevOps isn't (just) Dev doing Ops and Ops doing dev, though. It's about understanding each teams domain and facilitating communication. Nothing about Docker limits that, per se. e.g: > I argue that devs are usually not thinkin

Well sure; but DVCS's don't solve for that problem (or at least, they don't explicitly enable you to work offline). All VCS' allow you to continue to work offline in some form. DVCS allow you to maintain a workflow; whic

All of which is fine; and in such cases (where this is a common occurrence for your staff) DVCS is a good fit for the requirements. But do these situations represent the overwhelming majority of use cases? In all probability, not.

I was surprised how popular DVD rental still was in Germany. Someone I know from Amazon was telling me. I get the impression they desperately want to kill off the market for it though?

Delivery has gotten really bad. When they used DPD it was great, but really nothing to do with Amazon, DPD are just far and away the best UK courier. Recently around me they switched to "Amazon logistics" which to me is code for &

Here in the UK Amazon seem to be heading for same-day delivery for Prime customers (we already have free next day on Prime) and ultimately "within the hour" types of delivery in major cities.

And also, if you got to the point where that porn site was then active and usable enough for the captcha cracking service... it would probably be more profitable just to monetise the porn.

In the EU this business model has been gutted by regulatory changes which have pretty much fixed the percentage fee at such a low level that there is no margin to offer rewards. > Hopefully the interest paid on debts breaks even with the

The NMC is a hidden gem. They let you pay a reduced entry fee to see the Heath Robinson machine and Colossus (which is what everyone visiting Bletchley Park wants to see). I've always thought that was a shame because so many people don

As an IT manager; the biggest problem with 20% time I've seen is people using for 80% time stuff. Like, critical training they should have gotten as part of normal work, etc. That sucks, that's not 20% culture.

In the absence of a clear guideline, Researcher101 should kick in; it was clearly the wrong thing to do. An apparent refusal to admit that in the write up is making it hard to put 100% support behind him. There is no excuse: dumping the use

Absolutely, use something different and more complex to 4 common words. That's pretty much what I am saying. My argument is that whilst you are switched on to the problem enough to do that, a lot of people simply are not. So stuff li

What you're actually doing there, though, is applying security through statistics. No, an attacker will not know your schema. But she will know all about the common schemas. And you're risking her using your schema in her attacks.

by ErrantX 11y ago
Of course, it's not the worst schema. But it gets a lot more credit than it is worth. Using dictionary words reduces the entropy of your password significantly. And for a cracker it can be trivial to attack passwords of that form. Give

Argh! The XKCD entropy comic. Back away slowly.. The "4 common words" password meme was around a lot after that comic. However, such passwords are definitely not secure because a good dictionary attack will break it in hours. You
