I wonder if Linode has a requirement to have their CF admin site accessible outside their network (assuming, of course, that the attacker didn't first gain entry into the corporate network, and then attacked the CF installation)? As someone

This has generally been my experience, but even the best product manager I've worked with will occasionally do something, well, dumb. Just like engineers do sometimes.

But I do contend that being able to work 4/12 hours at home versus all 12 hours at work is a substantial improvement for both yourself and for your family (especially if you have young children). I agree. Completely. My employer gives m

The difference between "editor wars" and a new musical notation is that choosing a particular editor does not limit you in reading or writing things that people have already done. If I learn to read music via new notation, that's great, bu

No, I'm not, actually. Just your standard, Dell-issued laptop drive. I noticed better memory usage and general performance increases within the last few releases to the beta channel (sorry, I can't pinpoint which one it was). I started to

Agreed. I've noticed some rather nice performance improvements over the last six months, and, like you, I've switched back to FF from Chrome.

Agreed. Many, many people will never even consider the sorts of connections that Schneier makes. Simply getting a few people to think more deeply about the role of technology in our lives is progress.

I've found the dynamic warm-ups to be very helpful. I use variations of the following prior to running: http://www.runnerspace.com/video.php?do=view&video_id=84... http://strengthrunning.com/2011/07/the-standard-warm-up-vide... I d

Even after the Tractatus was published, Wittgenstein was still teaching secondary school in Austria (though this was of his own choice). He didn't even take a position at Cambridge until 1929 (eight years after the Tractatus was published)

But, as `sybhn said, did that guy call himself a rock star? My manager is very similar--his mind works about twice as fast as mine, and he's very productive. He'd never, ever call himself a "rock star" though.

How many "normal" users actually installed Windows, rather than just having it because it was already installed on the computer they purchased from Best Buy?

by bmj 14y ago
In 2001 there were plenty of people who were critical of Microsoft and their market share abuse but this was at a time when saying "stop using Windows" was akin to saying "stop driving a car". Why was this? Perhaps because the state of f

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification.

No, but if I do `var a = new Array();` I can have that put up an alert. The Resig post linked to above indicates that FF will complain if you try to redefine the Array function, which is not what I'm seeing FF 20 (beta channel) and Chrome

by bmj 14y ago
AFAIK, the ability to override the Array constructor has been fixed in all modern browsers. Is this true? I was able to do it in both Chrome and FF.

We use a combination of an internal wiki and formal documentation (our software is used to collect data during clinical drug trials for new drug applications, so certain FDA rules apply to our processes). Currently, the formal documentatio

Perhaps a better solution would have been to ask Ms. Richards to take a different position at the company, perhaps one that was less public? The crux for SendGrid was that Ms. Richards was a developer evangelist, and, as Mr. Franklin point

Does anyone have statistics about this? I find it hard to believe that buying good food[0] and cooking it yourself is more expensive that eating at McDonald's. I suspect that taste and convenience have something to do with these choices ra

The average customer is probably not going to be following this. I wonder about that. I mean, if you are a Tesla customer (or a would-be Tesla customer), I reckon this story has come across your radar, given the sort of online media cove

I agree, and this is my experience with my own kids. Some sets stick around longer than others (the Quinjet comes to mind), but they are happily building new things with the more specialized pieces from other sets.

Ultra-runner Tony Krupicka has written on this sort of "active meditation" ( http://www.runnersworld.com/rt-columns/alone ). Of course, running in, say, downtown NYC is going be a very different experience (mentally) than running up Green

Sure, but the latter doesn't mean the former is okay, especially when it comes from folks who are, to some extent, "celebrity" programmers. Better still, why go out of your way to criticize someone else's code?

Likely because Windows has enjoyed a rather massive installation base, particularly among folks who are not terribly knowledgeable. I'm sure as other platforms become more dominant, we'll see similar shenanigans.

From experience, a business can make a difference in how the FDA polices a segment of the industry. You need scientists, who really know the domain (and, perhaps, have some contacts at the FDA), who can try to set the bar with FDA. Of cour

Perhaps, but if you have to tell them you are currently concentrating and don't want to be disturbed, you've already been disturbed and had your concentration broken. Again, I'm not suggesting that every workplace must be monastery-quiet, b

Why is this passive-aggressive? Many of us do work that often requires some period of concentration, yet most office cultures are built around constant interruption. And, many of us don't have office doors we can close that indicate to ot

Compare this to racking up massive debt going to college without any guarantee of a decent job upon graduation.
