In contrast to undocumented free (open) systems? Documentation is an issue irrespective of prorietariness(??!) of a system. I welcome this initiative. (Yes I know there are examples of documentation excellence to be found in some free/

Unfortunately, it is not. I heard about idiocy like this a long time ago from a developer friend of mine, I was also skeptical. Don't know why but have witnessed similar levels of stupidity too often to keep track. There literally is n

There IS censorship at colleges, and emotional grievances ARE being prioritised over logic and facts. You can dislike Ben Shapiro, you can have a lot of valid criticism of breitbart but It's all just Ad Hominems. Good luck with those.

How interesting, I have read other articles too. I am unqualified to make any authoritative claims on this subject (and many others), but people who seem to be just that appear to disagree with you. Most arguments against the manifesto (sic

So you're going to ask management what they are going to do about someone who is stating well accepted scientific facts [1]? I hope we never become colleagues. [1] http://quillette.com/2017/08/07/google-me

Audits. Education. Change. It's not like bad guys don't already have wordlists, or that they are new in any way. Having good ones available, in the open, for everyone to use, provides a net benefit in the long run imo.

Switched it off in 2003.. enabled it again in 2005 because of a practical joke by a friend who had my new manager made it a requirement for the new job.. :D Switched it off soon after again. Reason is mainly that 99.9% of the voicemails lef

Interesting point, reminds of the issue Jordan Peterson (iirc) once posed on Scandinavia. It seems there certain gender stereotypes are very strong, e.g. extremely low percentage men as nurses and women as engineers etc. His point was that
