In my opinion this is a failure of systems thinking: "Your (money / horse / car / thinking) is no good use this (money / horse / car / thinking) instead." There is an epistemological problem with eval

I won't crame credit, as it would be foolish to do so. If they were worth arresting, they were probably annoying people a lot more important than me. Nice coincidence though, and happy to help.

I gave this a +1, although I have some reservations. As long as they take care of the basics, it's a grind but they can "learn on the job" without putting themselves or others in harm's way. Being an open recursor isn&#x

Simple answer: 1) Spend money. 2) Get a different provider. Beyond that, get free help or advice. I guess that's what you're attempting now. Let's start with spending money. You need to convince somebody that it's worth

I wrote an app that served 290K customers with 727K data layer hits in the month it was relevant in the late aughts. It had a Python (v2, threaded) frontend, and a Perl + MySQL backend. I wrote it in two weeks, and the biggest lifts were th

That may be the falsifier somebody is looking for: How much software lasts? How many programmers last? There may not be "illegal" people but there are people who gain entry by illegal means. There may not be "suicidal" s

If you truly have control, then largely the artifacts of that control should be auditable by everyone. The security cameras. The door logs. The DNS and netflow logs. Ok, not sure about 10,000 screenshots showing nobody has admin access...

They've settled on a set of features and non-features, similar to how we do it with threat indicators. If it's error prone for threat indicators it's error prone for user tracking and vice versa. There are reasons not to care

I don't use apps like this, because they don't do the one thing which I want them to tell me: why were three police cars boxing in a vehicle at the end of my dead-end street at 3AM? Likewise, the City has an electrical outage map

I suppose that's not very clear. Somebody built a (very special) product packaging line. The people who built it moved on. There were still engineers doing maintenance (level 1), but changes to the control system (level 2 in the Purdue

It's AC and the cycle (Hz) is x, then the voltage hits +/- max at 2x and also crosses 0 at 2x. Current in the system also crosses 0 at 2x although the phase angle is likely to differ from the applied voltage.

Yes, SAMM. I also refer to it as a list of questions to ask if you don't want the job, although some of the questions are good to ask when you get to the negotiation stage.
