Something I dealt with a lot in oil & gas engineering, and have never personally witnessed in software engineering, is a "change order". The contract is signed. At this point, if you deliver on your end of the deal, they have to deliv

To give some context to those of you that haven't been following this issue over the last few years, The Libel Reform Campaign has a great analysis of this law here: http://www.senseaboutscience.org/data/files/Libel/Libel_Refo... TL;DR: T

One company I worked at was making billion dollar decisions based on tools made in spreadsheets. It was the only option really, the instances where we did actually have the bespoke tools we wanted were even worse! There is no way whoever ma

Not all therapy is talk therapy - I thought I needed that, but had similar reservations about how open I could be face to face. When I finally bit the bullet I ended up in most-self-directed CBT, with none of that recounting-childhood-traum

The actual feedback is not only linked, but quoted in the article. Your guess was wrong.

Title is extremely misleading, the original - "Why questionable downloads use rar archives" is better, and more importantly, accurate. 60% of antivirus programs missed viruses hidden in an alternate data stream of a file inside a rar archiv

No, but we're talking about brute forcing billions of attempts per second, and we're not up against randomness, we're up against "the best pseudorandomness the human brain can muster", so the odds aren't 1 / <number of possibilities&#

Have you ever used SwiftKey or Swype on Android? Vaguely the same principles apply here. It actually wouldn't be hard to generate passphrases where you try the most "predictable" phrases first. E.g. if you start your brute-forcing at "my ca

You are correct that it is very simple for a Quake 3 engine - the submission's title is misleading. Calling it "basically a wrapper around some libraries" is a bit harsh though. It's not like it's loading up libloadandrenderaquake3map.so! F

No. The key word in the comment you replied to was "random". "mycatmiffylikesbiscuits" is a pretty terrible password.

To expand further on those points with a personal anecdote... I worked on a "big website" for a very big government department. I was still in university at the time, had about a year's experience with the platform, and was earning close to

Yeah, for some reason I seem to stumble over switch/case statements no matter which language I'm in. What_about / perhaps actually makes more sense to me. I think what the world really needs right now is a dapper programming language.

I just looked it up again to be sure, and I am slightly mistaken. OED has both forms in use in the 1800s and early 1900s, but all usage examples from the second half of the 1900s onward is -ize only.

This was a problem at my university too, not a massive one though. Certainly an add-on could fix it rather than an option (really what would be ideal would be better group policy-style management of FireFox across workstations). In this ins

I do this and call it "constructive procrastination". I quite often wash the dishes because I'm putting off writing some code, for example. In your specific case I think it's even healthier. I can't work well or think straight if my environ
