It's just the hammer approach to security as opposed to the scalpel approach.

Gotta love that bluecoat blocks it as "adult content". That looks good on the monthly report.

Not only that but it was scheduled maintenance. Obviously, you like those to go smoothly but shit happens. Headline is very misleading.

It's quite possible that you might not need half those scripts especially if they're simply to deal with inefficiencies or failings in SVN.

Yeah I would highly suggest investing in a video monitor. because you're so paranoid as a new parent, you'll be tempted to run in and check on the little one for every little noise. Don't wake a sleeping baby ;) the video monitor will reall

Initially, you're going to be pretty sleep deprived. Don't expect to get much done. You're also going to be REALLY distracted by every little snort and sniffle. Somewhere around 6 months, things will SORT of get back to normal. One person s

I like that distinction. Then again, you can totally be committed on the wrong principles. See phrases like "Changing horse midstream"

I think you're right in thinking the "wrong kind of opinionated". I'm pretty f'ing opinionated about certain things and those are not trivial things - testing for instance. I'm also opinionated about languages but I can clearly articulate w

Exactly. the augen ships with a stylus which is annoying to have to pull out. I literally have an impossible time dragging down the notification shade on this thing. One nice thing about the Augen is that there are some custom roms for it t

Interesting. I would suggest anyone considering a tablet of any kind, buy one of these. I bought the K-Mart Augen tablet on a lark. I figured it was a good way to gague how much I would actually use a tablet. Mind you this thing is an utter

This has been my problem with all of these articles of late. Companies need to face the fact that, regardless of relocation package, people don't want to relocate. The only option is to either deal with job hoppers in your inbred local tale

I feel you. I actually have two kids now and am just getting back into the side-project thing. Others are right. Just plan on not getting much done for the next 4-6 months. Seriously. Focus on your family. As to the coworker issue, realize

I think view-free is a bit of a misnomer. Even in sinatra, you could consider JSON as a "view". You can still test that too with browser plugins like "REST client" for firefox or htty on the command-line. What it forces you do to is make su

I actual favor this model in many cases. I've always thought that MVC was still too tightly integrated for my tastes. Why should we treat our internal applications as any different than our interaction with external ones? I realize this is

That's a fair statement. I think there were two big ones: - the service registry/init system - filesystem paths The second is minor in the grand scheme of things. It only affects my user account but the first one was greatly annoying. My hi

I registered apithings.com and apithin.gs for a side project that I still haven't gotten around to finishing. You can guess what the general theme is. I also managed to snag lus.is which made me infinitely happy. Not giving that one up ;)

To people who are arguing that you can't look at the code because it's poorly documented or not readable: that's probably a sign that you don't want to use that code especially if YOU can't understand what the hell it's doing. I tend to loo

Even if the odds are that the answer is "no", it's still stupid to make ANY assumption. There's a truism in the whole ass-you-me thing. Instead of assuming, you should find out first if that's the case, and secondly why. In my case, it's no

I don't know that it's ageism. Yeah, I'm sure that's a valid concern but it's not "this person is too old for our company culture". It's more "can this person commit in the same way that at unattached 25 year old could commit?". Typically t
