Is there a particular problem with the software used by tax professionals? Clearly they're not using consumer-focused software since their needs would be different. It seems like a domain a developer typically wouldn't have much i

I wonder if the data was stolen after or before the vulnerability was disclosed. On the other side of it, I think it's really great that they've been able to determine exactly what was stolen from this so that they can attempt to

I used to take 8 modafinil / day but have been able to bring my wakefulness back to what I feel is going to be normal for me without medication. I did experience one side effect -- paranoia. I became really paranoid about what my spous

Tesla officials, reached for comment, say they can't talk about pending court cases. From the same article, this line really stands out at me. Especially after reading what Tesla posted on their site.

Is the school using ink, or toner? Toner is significantly cheaper, and there are still savings by switching fonts.

I would not describe the real world in Ready Player One as Disney-esque. It was pretty awful, including a great number of people essentially being slaves working for mega corporations. The main company involved in the VR world was completel

Part of the reason for this is that when people hear the word "but" they mentally remove all the words in the sentence preceding it. One way to get around this is by replacing "but" with "and." That's my o

Seems like it would be less effective if everyone was doing it.

It all depends on what you're doing. I have no degree and started out manning the phones in a level 1 position on a help desk. Almost anyone was able to get a job doing it. I was competent so I excelled and moved up fast. After getting

No. Dell is selecting an image with Firefox installed. And likely has PCs with this image ready to go.

If I don't know something I've made it a point to tell them that. Generally, I follow it up by letting whomever know that I can attempt to discover an answer to the question. If the question is about how something works, I'll

Forget the '50's. It would have blown my mind as a kid. If you told me there were more than 100 movies on something the size of a fingernail. And that they were higher quality than on my VHS tapes. Without proof I never would have

While I don't take the attitude that vaccines are to be avoided -- and myself, my wife, and children are vaccinated against all the standard stuff aside from the yearly flu shot -- my grandfather was in a coma for 18 months from Guilla

I put two guidelines in my editor. One at 80 chars and one at 100. I treat 80 like a goal and 100 as a hard limit. If I go over 100, I'll put the break around 80. Not only do I find the code easier to look at, but I find I write better

I wrote a tool we use internally that has that as a feature for Review Board. It was super easy. I still prefer a more formal code review process since things slip through from people hitting "Ship It" when it's not fully bak

My first year free just ran out. They sent me a message that I get to continue for another year for free. It's hard to believe anyone pays for this.

The article also stated that all of the code is peer reviewed and QA'd. So it's not really cowboy coding.

I have not been shopping around. I contacted one person out of curiosity, because I told myself I wasn't really looking. That's a fair point though.

I'm not getting paid as much as I would like. I've brought it up with my manager on multiple occasions. I'm now about 18 months with no raise, and I've been told that this round of performance reviews does not come with

Password through anything is generally a no-no. Your service should have a way of accessing user accounts without their password.

I had to do a pretty similar task in the interview process to land my current role. They provided me with an example of a poorly written program to parse the RSS feed. Their example was using regex to parse. The first thing I did was rip it

Ever since I found MDN I add it to all my searches to get better results. But before I found MDN, I used w3schools all the time. My coworkers still use w3schools. I don't see a problem with it. Sure, their site is not using best practi

When I find that my standard coding is not giving me the happiness and appreciation that I need, then I take a break from whatever I'm working on and do something else. For example, I might build a new tool that better automates a part

I think it's a disservice to call it a clone of the helicopter game. It's a very similar idea, but how the game is played and the consistency of the obstacles are very different.

It is impossible to do a cost-benefit analysis on something like that. It is worth any amount of money if the child can be saved. I'd go to the ends of the earth for my children. Who knows what these children could end up being or doin

It's not really polished. There's no music. And almost all of the in game graphics are borrowed from other games. So I guess it's polished in the sense that those other games did the polishing. It really does come off as some
