This is seen all the time in Accounting departments. GAAP and STAT financials in spreadsheets with millions of linked documents and macros. A large amount of this deals with business logic being tied directly in Excel. Their data and the

There is a fine line between industry (cost center vs generating revenue) and startups when it comes to discussing the term software engineering. I see a large amount of legacy maintenance in cost center based programming. Revenue generati

I would say that finding solutions to problems on the internet is still far from moving beyond its infancy. We are very lucky, but there is much more to come.

In forms validate dictionaries, the example makes no sense. At first, I assumed this was a duplicate key issue, but I cannot reproduce this problem. >>> good_form = MyForm({"title": "Two Scoops of Django"}) >>> good

The catch is ads. All joking aside, does anyone else get an interesting sub-set of ads from this site? It seems Google is struggling to determine how to relate the model with relevant keywords. I see Ford(-$), GMC(-$), Cooking Show(-$),

Templated requirements and test plans. Fill in/extend the template to the needs of the project. In source,use project tag/ID for lines of interest. Sometimes requirements documents explain more than the code or comments. IE: 12345_r.doc

Thank you for the advice and reference. It is difficult to find actual advice in these circumstances other than 'consult consult consult.' That last line really shifted my outlook on this experience.

I'm currently working at a company that is facing this problem. The programming team has stagnated on repairing legacy systems. Innovation and modernization is a business objective, but the philosophical issue of losing 'expert business k

I'm just speaking from experience from a few of the older IRC botnets I analyzed for a few years. Nearly 200,000 of the 750,000 (+-150,000) bots were on dial-up connections in developing countries. Now, 200,000 packets coming in at 2.8KB/s

The amount of routers still using 'cisco/cisco' as a default password for full access is astonishing. Years ago, I saw backbones and OC3/12 cores using these passwords. I know botnets are now considered the DDOS standard, but there are plen

The intro prepares a conclusion 'power is in the hand of the data centers, let's move that to the users.' Simply restating that 'the power could be in the hand of the users' without evidence to back it up (or pros/cons) leaves us hanging. I

I got a sunburn from that page. High contrast legacy monitors do not fare well in that kind of environment. My eyes were going back and forth. The white on red induced some weird ADD.

This is how I learned Java in software engineering. Simplistic if/else logic transitioned to enterprise madness. It left a bad taste for most of us in the program. If you are a teacher in this position, provide fleshed out source/examples

I completely agree with you. In fact, in certain states/cities, there are legal ramifications for calling businesses or references asking anything outside the realm of 'Did they work there, yes or no?'

There's a hidden truth in 'writing off'. Insurance companies wager paying the bill too. They say "We'll pay 60% of that $8000 ER visit." Guess who covers 25% of that leftover 40%? In a majority of cases, the government. (Source: My aunt h

If necessary, I will pay the penalty. I assume the credit for health care costs and taxes charged on health care should make up for any penalties incurred by the PPACA. If I read correctly, my penalty should only be $950-1300. Inevitably
