It doesn't matter. Cloudflare is a private company, and as a private company, they have a right to discontinue any service with anyone as long as it isn't some sort of discriminatory act based on a protected class. Considering tha

This isn't going to do anything. It's similar to an SEC fine. All it's going to be is a legal write off for the company. What really needs to happen is companies need to be broken up or violating privacy without consent needs

Yup, crap software practices stick around for a long time. Which is why lack of standards is frustrating and we'll never learn from mistakes.

I don't put it in my phone because it gives the company an out to turn your phone into an IT BYOD asset. This makes it subject to a wipe if you ever left the company.

There's probably a lot of them. But it's mostly due to ignorance and lack of trying other avenues. It's very easy for companies to manage orders and inventory in actual systems designed for the task in this day and age. Ones

My question is, why is Siemens using spreadsheets and macros to manage equipment? This, in my opinion, is a real problem. There's too much patch work trying to generate spreadsheets from other documents through macros and it's mos

The only assumptions I'm making is what you explicitly stated. And the cardinal rule is, what's stated without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Either way, if you don't want to defend yourself. That's fine.

Wow. This is an awesome article. Very well put together and explained step by step with pictures. Wish all articles were like this.

That isn't necessarily true. There's a difference between respect and benefits/culture. Some would say that Google, in all its free lunch glory, doesn't respect its employees that well consider they've had employees

This rarely has anything to do with salary and more so to do with what your company can afford. I've made 60k/yr at jobs where I've had awesome equipment and flexible hours. People respect you more if you get things done and

Why do you assume it is an iterative improvement? You can get a free PhD for a lot less. You can get rich and famous for a lot less. You don't have to make cold fusion viable.

What makes you think that they wouldn't? That's why I used the operative word "could".

So, in reality, you have no idea if your idea is truly better and it looks like you just ran some specific test cases and assumed it applied. Still paper worthy, but far from thinking that you made anything better than published literature

It's also called burn out. Often times you will spend years slaving over one program, making improvements and changes for different cases while simultaneously maintaining it, installing it, documenting it. After years and years of this

Yet your ideas could get you millions in publicity, fame, etc. to spend literally one week to advance the field. The fact that you actually argue against this is laughable, not to mention incredibly selfish.

Because you've claimed that you made substantial strides in algorithms that nobody else has supposedly done. Why not get a free PhD out of the deal? If anything, you can show it to a professor and they should be able to recognize it. A

That's because the academic knows not to produce low quality content. The untaught often does not. I'm still reeling from having to maintain spaghetti code that some untaughts have churned out in my career.

I find it odd that you did all this extra work, yet couldn't even be bothered to write a paper about it and still haven't.

Agree 100%. Not to mention, having a degree opens up a lot of opportunities in case you ever want to leave the field. Many people get sick of coding after doing it a while due to its highly repetitive nature. Having a degree essentially giv

Computers don't even operate solely step by step anymore. They often operate asynchronously, through interrupts, or compute things in parallel across multiple threads. Maybe if you're programming something simple, it will be &quot

Ask for help and communicate your concerns. Number one thing I wished I learned a lot earlier.

If you had a CS degree, you'd know you can't build anything you want cough halting problem cough . I'm surprised this got down voted since it's 100% true.

I just find these odd. Does anyone struggle with this stuff? They just make it all look so easy. I for one struggle quite a bit with coding, design, theory, and other aspects. I just don't get how so many people think coding is as easy

The point is you shouldn't avoid implementing best practice security because it will "never be on the network". And quite frankly, deliberately shipping a product with gimped security, especially when it comes to OpenSSH, is

From what I read, the NSA has not recommended most crypto protocols due to quantum computing. However, they still recommend having a large key size as being one of the biggest factors in having strong crypto. So why not use RSA with larger

I was really interested in FreeBSD a while back. Guess I should look elsewhere after reading this since I'm kind of a newbie and it would've taken me a while to figure all this out on my own.

An excellent click bait article for functional programming. For example, the brief talk of validators, why couldn't you just put the validator in the credit card object? The credit card validator should only be used in the credit card

After reading the interview, it sounds like a lot of scare mongering about bias without actually identifying specific things that are wrong with specific examples. Sure, it's nice to be looking for these issues, but people obviously ha

Choosing the right data types for columns is not "solved" by switching to entirely different RDBMS's. Particularly for the TEXT requiring a length comment. None of these reasons were discussed or deliberated in detail as peop

This is the worst kind of attitude to have and is why I see incredibly poorly implemented databases all the time. Databases that are are often not properly normalized, not properly permissioned, storing lists of delimited strings, extensive
