I bet that's a large part of the reason they fight against fingerprinting but I know there's a very large technical and economic one. They have a very nice bulk rate with a very good (in my opinion as a developer and customer) bac

Sure guidance is great. As much as I was a 14 year old know it all pain in the ass, my old highschool CS teacher taught me the most important lessons of development: memorable variable names, syntax formatting, and saving frequently. Howeve

Everyone is different- me personally, if I worked on the same tech product for 10 years I would go insane with boredom... probably. But I just couldn't fathom a universe where I ever would have worked on anything that long. I've n

What if it was only 51% accurate? It's still more likely than not that the address is correct. Assuming the police respond in a way that doesn't result in injury (financial, property, or person) I think it's reasonable for th

I don't think all ads are bad- advertisement, at its basic core is letting people know about a product or service that you provide. This can be informative, educational, and even entertaining. What IS bad, especially with respect to th

This might sound weird, but you might try seeing a therapist as you begin your new journey. It sounds like this long time of being unfulfilled might have left you with a touch of depression, or at the very least demotivated. It's kind

Likeable may be too strong, but not an asshole is definitely a plus. My team has NOT hired contractors before because we didn't like working with them. They could get the job done, were very skilled, but negative attitudes, constant bi

100% on the same page as you. I didn't get the Honeywell, I actually got a relatively cheap z-wave thermostat that acts like a regular ol' dumb programmable thermostat that can also be controlled by ANY z-wave compatible home auto

That's funny, my first thought was to fire the accountant as well. Then I thought about it, who has more experience with these scammers than the accountant that screwed up? I would wager they would never fall for it again if they were

It's not so much manufacturers as the sellers of the merchandise. I've had multiple sellers offer full refunds in exchange for better reviews after I left 1,2 or 3 star reviews of some pretty shitty products.

I totally agree. I answered yes to all of the above at my last company and left about 9 months ago to start my own company with some former colleagues from way back when in an unrelated market. I had risen quickly, felt very listened to, lo

Portland's housing market is incredibly hot right now and their prices are definitely edging out of (if not already) sane territory. The big difference is that you don't have to go quite so far out of town to get back to better pr

I agree that a lot more AWS tutorials and cookbooks would be helpful- but one reason I find so many developers having issues wrapping their head around AWS concepts is that most developers don't have the basic understanding of what the

To a degree this is true, but a perfect example I just ran into today is this: I've got 3 sonar range finders to mount on my robot chassis which has been made from aluminum- I could painstakingly hand craft three holders out of wood or

JIRA and Confluence are fantastic at doing their core competency but there are a lot of fringe features that just seem bolted on because some big time customer or PHB decided to bolt on things. I found the time keeping to be one of these th

BitBucket is freemium. You can have a personal account with an unlimited number of private or public repos for free. As soon as you start needing to share privileges with other users you need to pay up. JIRA and Confluence are definitely NO

To be fair, this was written in 2001- so things have changed some. But I will sort of agree with PG here. I write a lot of Java code. Primarily I write Java, then C#, PHP, C, and Python in that order. There are things I LOVE about C#, PHP,

Also, this has been MY career experience to this date. As I now run my own tech companies and have been hiring technical people for the last 7 years, I have anecdotally found this to hold true. The early to mid-career types that have only e

I believe the inverse, I think most kids out of school should start at a (good) large company, they have the resources and framework to provide all kinds of career training you'd never get from startups or small companies. Mentors, lea

Not to speak for Userify, but assuming the prices are 'relatively similar' to other DevOps hosted service type tools, I'd be happy to pay. The ability to arrange user by projects, and then roles in projects has been awesome.

Have you ever owned a Lexmark? I had a mid-level color inkjet around 2004, it was my first and only time ever with that brand. That's how bad my experience was. Not that I'm in love with HP or any of the alternatives, I'm rea

Totally unrelated to this post, but THANK YOU for Userify. I don't know how you guys are making any money yet (or how you plan to), but you make my life so much effing easier!

It's realistic in that the RT to an Internet service isn't where it seems to break down. It breaks down at the hub that spazzes out and goes into limp mode (which as far as I can tell is simply a flashing status indicator of diffe

I've been using the Wink hub with a variety of different z-wave light switches, electrical outlets, plug adapters, and even a thermostat for the last 6 months. I DEFINITELY feel like the Wink hub is the weak link. It needs resetting fr

I don't know how you can find even average Java code unreadable. If anything it's incredibly verbose. Only now with the most recent features is it really likely that you'll run into some one-liners and magic functions. Now, i
