I had a previous job that was this way. Their informal mantra was "Do it now, scrape the blood off the walls later." In practice, this meant poorly communicated expectations, multiple conflicting reporting lines, non-specific proj

Good comment, but I wouldn't say never. As an instructor of programming on a university level, I like to think that I have enough sense to know that particularly for "trivial" assignments, some similarity is expected. However

I was expecting a detailed account of how the server was compromised, although this account of the drive-by malware operating details was interesting too.

Glad the EFF is joining. For background, Lavabit filed their appeal a few weeks ago [0]. Ars covered it [1], and it was discussed here on HN [2] as well. 0: [pdf] http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2013&

Yes. Lavabit's filing [0] is to the Fourth District Court of Appeals. Page 1 of their brief (after all of the disclosures and tables of content) explains the jurisdictional stuff pretty well. 0: [pdf] http://cdn.arstechnica.

While I can't imagine much discussion here that couldn't occur on SO, I did want to say thank you for posting this. I found it quite interesting.

It's unfortunate the link to the BYU law review article in a sibling comment is now marked "dead". Perhaps because the author first posted the link, then may have gone back to edit it. I've only now glanced through the f

Because surely, when self-interest and altruism align, the real cause must be self-interest. In retrospect, that's an easy argument to make, but maybe there was some risk they'd accept his ultimatum and not bring him back for th

Thanks for summarizing. The content would be a great deal more consumable (and sharable) in a blog post that didn't require 75 clicks to view all of the content.

I have to agree. In addition, most of the features of the logo she raves about are not visible in the default (and very pixelated) state on the home page. In a design world that seems to be shifting to high-resolution, flat design, this see

Given his newly announced re-org [1], the timing is a bit weird. Don't get me wrong, I think MSFT will be better served with a different CEO, but I wonder whether the two are connected. Certainly, the re-org will struggle without stron

The view of (a)symmetry in an interview is very generational. Those who turned 20 in the 90s or earlier are more likely to feel the bottom side of asymmetry, while "Gen Y" or "Millennials" (for lack of better terms) are

I also didn't, but some of the articles on the subject paint "the guy" as a down-on-his-luck hacker in developing country and ancient computer hardware trying to do the right thing. It's presented as almost a charity don

Works for a single or maybe a couple, but as family size grows this quickly becomes impractical. With my family of five, this would be a nightmare.

As a counterpoint, I've spoken with several who have visited and/or studied Singapore, and they attribute its cleanliness to police enforcement, not janitorial staff.

No, but 10 of 16 numbers that must conform to a checksum algorithm significantly reduces the search space to a point that a brute force seems trivial if other information is already possessed (e.g., zip code, or especially, cvv).

But perhaps part of the point of the GP is that SSNs (or even citizenship) are not required for attendance. In fact, it is illegal to even inquire about citizenship status due to federal access laws, so even the school asking for then SSN i

Well, there's no indication the usable click area is limited to the slider. In the games setup, it would make sense that clicking anywhere in the option might trigger the appropriate slider change event. It adds a single "continue" click fr

One of the interesting (to me) items in the article is that it framed the use of body scanners as clearly an agency (administrative) decision, rather than a legal (that is, codified) one. For rule-making authority to have the force of law,

I can't reply to the sibling comment (davidw's) about video (level cap?), but I vehemently agree. I can read much faster than most people speak, (and can't "skim" a spoken monologue), so I almost always prefer text to video. I'm feeling inc
