I've memorized an algorithm instead of trying to remember passwords. I don't actually remember hardly any of my passwords, instead I use this mini algorithm that I came up with to create unique passwords for each site I go to. Ea

I don't believe this is necessarily a bug. All code will break under some extremes and nowhere are the requirements specified for what this code is supposed to be able to handle. Without requirements, you can't "prove"

Amazon has a program called KDP. If an author puts their book into the KDP program they receive 70% royalties, but they have to be exclusive on Amazon. If they don't want to be on KDP, they only receive 35% royalties, but they can se

Not really. Print books don't get the author hardly anything at all. My wife is an author, exclusive on Amazon so she makes ~70% on ebook sales. The profit from a print book is next to nothing. Of course, this can vary a lot on the t

Yeah, I don't understand this article. My building has a 1 story basement, street level is retail space, the next 6 floors are parking, and above that 24 floors of apartments. You can't easily tell from the outside what is apart

I'm not necessarily siding one way or the other, but that article by Stella Matsovis was absolutely terrible and has zero credibility.

I don't think there is enough information in this article to be making judgement calls.

I'm pretty sure he was joking

Not really. Since my wife started writing she's averaging about 2 1/2 to 3 months. And that includes the 2-3 weeks waiting on the copy editor.

Did you read his blog? That's an extreme exaggeration of what he said.

I think whether or not it's a good idea to launch has to do with what those bugs are. The number of bugs is pretty much irrelevant.

netteller (I think was the name?), an online banking system used by many smaller banks, including the bank I used to bank at in Tennessee, used to require passwords be exactly 6 alphanumeric characters. This didn't change until just a year

I worked for the TSA for about 6 months a few years ago. They convince employees that catching a knife from some traveler who forgot to put it in their checked baggage is a huge win and that somehow we saved the day yet again. Happened on

I don't know whose life works in this extremely simple way, but it sure isn't mine. I've gone from making good money to being broke to making good money again and everywhere in between in my 35 years on this planet. These types of things n

I've wrote my own OS back in the late '90s based heavily on this book. Probably one of the best learning experiences I've had. I'm not sure how relevant it is today. I'd love to see a second edition brought up to date.

It's not so easy to tell. In the early '90s I did a lot of x86 assembly. I haven't done any assembly in at least 15 years or so. Looking back I can't really tell if it's good or not. And if I tried to do any assembly at this point I'm su

I've worked at companies where this seems to happen often and it usually comes down to two things: 1) Poor communication and/or planning as far as what the end result was supposed to be. The developer built it the way they thought it was s

Password reset questions are the problem. Their a back door into your account. I hate when a site forces me to enter them. When I do, I answer then with something completely different than what the question is.

I'd guess it's a pretty big corner

I'd be curious in hearing more about why the FBI and law enforcement brought on this fear campaign against it. Hippies "irked" them isn't really an explanation.

It's a nice thought, but for me at least, marketing has ruined my trust in businesses, and my initial reaction to this email would be "buzz off, if I wanted to buy more of your stuff, I'd go to your site. Leave me alone." I don't know how

I was really hoping this article was going to end with an amazing discovery that showed bubble sort to have some great hidden potential.

Why can't you find out the same information about the persion by just engaging in normal conversation, asking them about their interests, and asking reasonable follow up questions? Presenting it as some kind of weird test that makes the int
