What an interesting article. I don't think many people outside of our field realize how obscure some bugs can be, and the lengths needed to diagnose them. Not every bug, of course; not even 95% of bugs. But every now and again, you

Teenagers and young adults are coveted by universities because they are old enough for their parents to let them do their own thing, but young enough that they are OK with taking on tens of thousands of dollars of debt for a questionable ou

There have been a few instances of this sort of "malicious compliance" that I've noticed, the biggest of which has been Pandora: If you're not in the US, you have to convince their website that you are in order to play m

Someone willing to make this kind of deal with his "employees" is someone willing to spin down the company as soon as revenues start to approach his trigger value, and keep all the profits.

Honestly, you really shouldn't have to hit "36,000 requests per minute" scraping a website for price updates. Can someone explain if there is any scenario in which this is reasonable? Do QVC's prices change that ofte

How much are you spending per month? Surely there are things you could cut. I recommend setting up a Mint.com account and taking a look at your monthly expenses. You might be surprised at how much you're spending on, say, restaurants

Agree with others stating that links should be left alone. Just middle or ctrl-click to open in a new tab if you want to do that. Adding the target attribute would remove the option to open in the same tab, which I often want to do.
