I pay about that for rent - it's the most I've ever paid for housing by a long shot, and it regularly freaks me out. I just can't get used to it. The thing that gets me is that I'm barely paying the property taxes on t

I have a cheaper alternative. Get rid of TSA altogether. Travelling was a whole heck of a lot more fun in 1975. Since then it's been overreaction upon overreaction. Nobody is going to hijack a plane in this day and age because of t

Ha! My favorite Telco story was when I was hired to come in and do performance improvements on an enterprise application. Day 1 I figured out what the problem was, and I could have the solution in place by the end of the day. The manager

I'm still upset with the perl6 devs for sending me down the Haskell rathole so many years ago, but perl brought a lot of pretty great things forward and it was by far the best text parsing language for entirely too long. I like what I

You'd be surprised. Tight presidential elections can come down to a handful of districts. What you'd think would require a nationwide conspiracy can really be brought down to a group of 7 or 8 people. It boils down to the fact t

I am an emacs user, but my initial foray into org mode wasn't particularly successful. I was much happier in OneNote. Now that I work mostly in an OSX environment where OneNote is a stripped down shell of it's Windows counterpart

The case is droppable because it lacks public support. That was clear a month ago. It's an impossible scenario - requiring an engineering effort from a consumer focused company. If Apple wanted to comply, it would have been extraord

$100 investment in a Gear or a $20 investment in Cardboard has you chomping at the bit for more. It will be another generation before VR really comes to roost, but by putting this in the hands of early adopters it really opens up the imagin

I'm blown away by all the openness and good advice in this thread. I've suffered through bouts of depression most of my life as well. Luckily, I learned a few things about how to deal with it in my younger years - not that I have

I had a different experience with tests. 18 years ago at one company I laid out a test plan. Some of it was automated, the majority of it was manual. It applied specifically to a large custom built application. 2 years ago, I was at an e

The Nikon Collection was a significant piece of software - it used to be a pretty penny for all of them too. It was much more productive than photoshop, and did some things that just aren't easy to do in PS. I don't know how googl

I woke up to this and had to laugh. I've never considered myself anything but an idealist, but I see your point. I wish it had changed my opinion. Yes, there are a lot of issues surrounding privacy that will change and I was being ove

True. At first glance, I didn't think that part of the data was relevant to me, but I found myself digging into companies that I had experience with and their h1/green card ratios and how many h1 were in place. There are definit

Comparing glassdoor and jobsintech (data.jobsintech.io), glassdoor seems to be on the low end for the few companies I reviewed. Jobsintech uses h1 visa filing data.

Excellent. That was my one barrier to giving it a try. If I make it far enough, I'll definitely send a PR.

Does Feathers support SAML authentication? I don't see it in the docs, but I figured I would ask. It says it's built on top of express, and express has SAML support... is it possible to leverage that?
