The Challenger explosion is one of my first vivid memories from my childhood as my mom was letting me watch the launch on TV as a 3 year old. I also had an understanding of death at the time as I asked my mom if they were in heaven (which w

My reason to have Bootcamp is literally to get Elgato Game capture, used to capture the presenter's screen real time, support in OBS so that I can livestream a Bsides conference once a year. I use an old Canopus firewire SD video to li

No, not exactly. An adversary who has the old hash, but not the plaintext that it represents cannot login because scrypt(H(H(value))) != scrypt(H(value)). This is not considering the offline crackability of a compromised hash. But there are

Isn't that what co-working spaces are setup to address. Coffeeshops are not supposedly in the business of being an office away from the office.

I was also thinking of things like Gmail Support and other services that have no human support option.

We both have our individual antidotes stated now. But is this a trend? The author cites no stats, just quotes one guy.

And that's okay. You can work from where you are to where you want to be long term! Keep up the good work. A good pair of GOOD noise cancelling headphones can do wonders!

You're right! I didn't notice that. This has to be a hit piece. What utter editorial garbage, even for Bloomberg.

I can't get over the thought that this is some sort of hit piece on work-from-home being published by Bloomberg. Does this narrative support HP, Yahoo, and other companies insist that employees commute in for culture and for productivi

When I was in that stage of life, half my room was my bedroom and the other half was an office. I was still single at the time and living with my parents. I ended up moving out when I bought my first house, but if that had not been a possib

That cover photo set an incredibly terrible tone for this article and set me against it from the get go. After reading this, I still think it is a bunch of bunk. Those who need an office will have one and those whose work is such that they

That would be a decent option and reduce some of the noise they would have to deal with.

Indeed. Think about situations like this and that article last night of 6 days to change a line of code. Inflexible processes have consequences. They are setup to prevent fraud, but some sort of appeal or review would make a lot of sense.

But why was the policy implemented in the first place. Probably to counteract an earlier development error where managers insisted that every change was priority 1, hot fix now. So the process evolved to be resistant to that.

That is a valid criticism, but this is basically institutionalized boy scouting, which is a good practice.

Amen! For an enterprise system that doesn't have end-to-end automated tests, this sounds like a sane organization running as best it can. The process is optimized to not let incomplete code make it into production. This is a company do

With Google Fiber out of the race, it's pretty much a question of when AT&T will run their Gigapower service here. They're installing for the neighborhoods less than a mile away at the moment. I suspect Comcast will get more c

I recently cancelled my PIA account. It was so incredibly slow as to be unusable most of the time. Thought through my threat model and decided it wasn't worth the hassle. I use tethering with my mobile provider when I am in dodgy place

And yes, it is about weighing the pros and the cons. I personally have chosen very much to refuse any engagement/job that requires daily commute into an office. I understand that is a privilege that comes with being a developer and not

I'm in Alpharetta, which is a tech center in its own right by some standards. Housing prices jump $300k across the street from my neighborhood. So yes, prices can go really, really high around these parts.

This looks like the principle "States shall avoid harmful contamination of space and celestial bodies." Presumably crashing into a gas giant is considered less harmful than polluting orbit. Source: http://www.unoosa.org

Probably some sort of space protection treaty once they are done funding ground operations. I too am dismayed about crashing perfectly functioning science vehicles.

The rents are astounding to me as an Atlanta area resident. My fully loaded mortgage+escrow payment on an entire 3 BR house with a full basement (in which I have an office and wired for Cat6 ethernet) is less than $1100/month. There ar

I don't understand the budget angle, at least if it's referring to the financial budget. One of the first tenants of financial counseling for people who are struggling to pay their bills is that they have to quit eating out immedi

I have not been tempted by such products in the least. I frankly find it personally unappealing in the extreme. The easiest thing in the world to cook is eggs, which I could eat all the time. I also live within walking distance of not one,
