People work for the love of the craft or for the love of the money. If you've been at Google and want more money Facebook might be a better deal before going public. Sometimes people just want to change their scenery so to speak, to do some

My friend you need professional help. We are not psychologists nor psychiatrists. For starters the only way to meet friends is to be outgoing, being an introvert makes this very hard, but if you really want to make friends you are going to

^^ I don't get it either. If someone doesn't agree they might as well say so and give reasons to get a discussion going. Instead we get this "Ohh the article said X so you're wrong, I'll downvote and move along" attitude. I guess people don

No you got what I said wrong. I'd rather pay developers to keep the logic in the application and throw more hardware when I need more webservers, than pay developers to develop a 'database logic' solution and having to get them to rewrite f

I don't get why you were downvoted, as this is so true. I'd rather throw hardware at a problem, than having to get developers to work on a rewrite on the database level. It's cheaper, easier, and totally not risky in comparison. I've always

Argentina is in no way a good comparison to Java. Argentina is a beautiful country. A better comparison (without the sarcasm) would be that you heard someone talk about how fun it is to visit Niger, Chechnya, or Iraq, and you just knew you'

It is a valid defense if you deleted the data before the investigation took place. If you did so with the intent of destroying evidence (of course, after the investigation starts) your obstructing justice which carries a maximum sentence of

I said realistically. From what I've seen this "lost my password" is in the US a non issue, and in the UK it warrants a few months of jail time (treated as a misdemeanor depending on the severity of the charges). In any case, it's almost im

Oh no really I understand the implications and everything... but let's say you do forget the password, what can they do realistically? It seems highly immoral to throw you in jail because you forgot a password. Now let's say you're in the m

If the law sees it as anything other than what it is, a separation between what my data is and the fact that it belongs to me, in contrast to where it is stored, it will probably open a a big ass can of worms. Might as well change the name

In this example your safe is the medium in which the data is stored. If the police get's a warrant to search my safe, they may do so, but when they find a notebook full of enciphered text or a tape with "noise" in it I'm not obligated to pr

Who knows what he does have in that hard drive. Maybe 4 months in prison is significantly better to what might happen if they do get to his data. Hell 4 months in jail because he refused to give a password sounds a lot better than a sexual

A) At what point? From the beginning. You said it yourself, you go through notebook pages with UI before even writing code. You need to have a structure in place before you begin anything. Sure you can morph it as you go, but you need a dir

IMO Unity is just, appalling. That being said, I like my Linuxes with a small footprint windowing system and a decent colorscheme. I find this pretty desktop Linuxes stuff meek.

So basically the author is saying what hackers have been saying all along? That even tough you can make amazing things with php (though the same can be said about almost any language), php is still a clumsy language with awful conventions.

Food. Eat healthy. That alone has changed my life. If you eat healthy it's a whole lot less probable that you'll experience burnout because you tend to to feel better about yourself and have more energy to spare.

How you market your brand doesn't make your company automagically drop out of its sector and join another just because. When you use Ubercab you don't get a beat up yellow taxi cab and a talkative taxi driver with too many stories to tell,
