It's amazing how hard it can be to remember a password that one has not typed in a long time, and has been subjected to solitary confinement. "Grassian and Haney show that a cluster of different symptoms, which they refer to as SH

That gets into key disclosure law and it does vary by jurisdiction. Though I am not a lawyer, it is my understanding that this is an area of dispute in the United States with respect to the 5th amendment, which forbids the government the p

There is an argument against using the fingerprint access and that is that a user gives up the right of consent while in custody. If law enforcement gets a judicial order to forcibly press the prisoner's finger to the sensor to unlock

This is very welcome news from my point of view as a developer and security consultant, enough that I blogged about it first thing this morning at http://rietta.com/blog/2014/09/29/universal-ssl-with-clou

I copy and paste URLS on a daily basis. What's not clear from the article is if that is going away or not. Is that what the 'button that most people will not notice' is? As for security, I can see benefit as most people cann

I do not know about that. In a lot of environments deployments on the weekend are common, even in full devops/automatic deploy situations.

Wow! Bookmarking that one. What a great cautionary tale both for developers and devops. I may well need to use that as a teaching aide. Though a security principle, I cannot tell you how many times I have to point of the need for defense i

On second reading, you are right! I did misread that. Sorry, piratebroadcast for reading into your statement something that you did not do.

While you may be fine in this case, be careful with that sort of action. When in dispute with a client, even a deadbeat, you have to be really careful what actions you take. Their failure to pay may well be a breach of contract, but under

Try to move up market if you can. That sort of really low behavior seems to go away as the budgets increase on projects. There are other challenges of course that come with bigger deals.

The gray area for that is sharing a business phone number of your friend that they share widely through business cards or their website. Though typically it ends up being an email introduction if you really care to connect someone with you

I am a software developer who works with startups who goes to church. So by a loose definition of 'know' in that we both have posted on HN, that increases the count by at least one.

Thanks for sharing the link! The etymology is fascinating.

That would not bother me. Its the word being used for a decidedly non-religious context that seems to trivialize the word. A programming language or system is a tool and is likely to be supplanted in the years to come. This is not the sam

It is a term that fundamentally bothers me in terms of technology. In my mind, evangelism is about spreading the good news of God, especially related to preaching of the Christian Gospel. I understand the term being applied metaphorically

What language was your class using? There are so many ways to do what the students wanted to do, be it the tertiary function or a lambda function or even, defining a method/function like (Ruby): def foowiz(x, threshold = 5)

This strikes me as an interesting read. I live in an Atlanta suburb. The closest shopping center is more than half a mile away and the one I go to most, and where I go to check my company's mail, is 2.5 miles away. The distances thems

You have followed it longer than I have then. My gut reaction is more to the universal nature of your claim that I quoted. It is a goal to have practical large systems that need no locks. Current operating systems in production may not be

"...No, no, no. If you are writing multithreaded programs, you _will_ have locks, period. The question is whether you explicitly use them or if they are hidden somewhere in your libraries, frameworks, etc...." That is not true. L

That has been my impression too. Dark matter developers are people who work in software development in the employ of a company. Their employer may - and usually does - have a blog and a twitter and may well have dedicated marketing and sal

Why do they not open source the entire package? I have to think that AOL has clean intellectual property ownership on the code base. It would be better than letting this important historical codebase slip into oblivion.

I never saw this before. I used to like walking past the old data center in the Rich Building at Georgia Tech. It was hard to imagine what it was like in its hay day with punch cards and all.
