FireFox constantly broke all my extensions with just about every minor update. It was maddening. After being a die-hard FireFox/Netscape/Mozilla user since the 90's, I finally gave up a few years back and switched to Chro

Chrome makes continuous small changes. It doesn't make big breaking changes every 6 months, whether the community and ecosystem are ready or not.

by g051051 9y ago
This is the same strategy that wrecked Eclipse and Firefox. Every 6 months is just too quick for most people to feel comfortable, and will cause fragmentation as the 3rd party ecosystem updates things at different rates.

Negligence would be if they knew about the bug but ignored it, which per a later Bloomberg article isn't what happened. Instead, there was a process failure so that they thought the bug was patched, when it wasn't.

> Which means they aren't legally bound not to release your credit report to whomever they want (aka whoever pays them) Also, this isn't true. Purchasers must have "permissible purpose", which is regulated.

Most of those exceptions Equifax listed seem to be the same as on the government site you linked to: pre-screened credit offers, government agencies, debt collection, etc.

IANAL, so it may not be "Precedent" with a capital P, but it is a court ruling and the guy put a huge amount of crazy stuff into it that other crazies can now point to and say "see, a judge agreed with all of this".

It does look like that now, for Equifax. Lock & Alert, as they call it, is free. https://www.equifax.com/personal/products/credit/credit-lock... I'm certain the other agencies are hard at work impl

They probably don't care about the cost, it's the precedent they're trying to block or overturn. And I don't see how even the appeal can stand against further appeals (or whatever they do next to protest what they consi

Really? I'm 54, and constantly have to turn away recruiters who pester me. Long haul is looking pretty good, right now anyway. Even if you're a junior dev, outlooks can change and shift...it's all about staying relevant an

The point you keep missing is that the amount I'm paid more isn't equivalent to the amount more I can do than a junior dev. I perform at some X more than the junior dev, but I'm not paid X more.

> Aye, but you probably can't code faster if you have to read a manual first? If we both had to read the manual? Yeah, I'd still be faster. It's just as easy to cherry-pick for one side or another.

Actually, the context that you're ignoring is important: > I'm so much more effective that it's always cheaper to have me do it, assuming I don't have a higher priority task (in which case it's a non-issue, since

> I personally would welcome as much strategic and intellectual diversity as possible onto teams I'm running. Me too. I just think the blanket assertion that a junior dev is the coding equal to a senior dev is what's nutty.

My cost is less by doing more in the same amount of time.

by g051051 9y ago
None of that has anything to do with the original blanket assertion of "good junior devs can code not only "just as fast", but probably faster too!".

You do what your team and company needs. If they need me to work on a big re-engineering project, or build a core framework feature, I do it. If they need me to get onto a regular sprint team for a while and churn out the backlog, I do it

I can point to my well documented track record: code reviews, bonuses, promotions, code longevity, metrics, etc. as evidence. I can code multiple features in the time that a junior dev does one, even with me mentoring them. That doesn&#x2

I do. But I'm still faster than them in head to head coding throughput (code produced, error counts, etc). I've got decades of experience in developing software. No way someone fresh out of college is going to equal, let alone
