Have you actually worked in an environment like that? In my experience, hoteling as the only option is deeply unpleasant. People like to have a single place to go. They like to have a desk they can personalize. They like to have a place the

The term, "staging area," (in the sense of a place to setup) was popular several decades before Git existed.

This is a really good write-up. In consulting and mentoring on this topic, I've found a lot of engineers push back against how "dirty" it is to have multiple copies of the data around in different formats. It feels wrong to n

I've used Codassium for about two dozen phone screens starting from when you posted the prototype last year, and I think it's great. Here are a few thoughts/issues I've had using the prototype and Lite version (I've

the bulk of the agreement was not in fact about poaching engineers, but rather sales and product people Do you have a better citation for this claim? The linked Business Insider article does not claim such a thing, and the court filings t

I'm curious about your story. Did the employee not complain to management prior to involving DOL? If the employee did, what happened that the employee's complaint was not accurately assessed and resolved? And if the employee did n

People can be proud of either of those accomplishments as well. Honestly, I doubt "most proud" versus "best" makes a difference at all. Candidates generally explain their answers to these open ended questions. If they (f

I'm not sure the situation is that simple. You bought the book through Amazon, but (in this case), you bought the book from the other poster. Putting them closer to, say, a shopping mall. As a shopper, who's has a stronger relati

It’s easy to imagine how this might often be the case: if the “inessential” public-facing Web pages are hosted on the same systems you’ve got to keep up and running for other “essential” back-end purposes [...] Does this not then constitu

I'm not the OP, but: These systems are broadly the same. If you're writing your configuration from scratch, they're all fairly pleasant, and it's mostly a matter of preference. They share most of the same concepts (altho

How are you reloading your Python application on code changes? Are you just working inside the VM? I've tried VirtualBox shared folders and NFS, and never had any luck getting file change events to propagate from my host to the VM.

Is it possible that the uncanniness of the more mundane in The Hobbit magnifies our affinity for the more fantastical? I don't doubt The Hobbit has improved on the technology and its applications to film. However, if the mundane is relative

You missed a crucial part of the post: Machines can read [these error messages] just fine, though. Here's an idea: machines shouldn’t slap us in the face. They should help us along if they fail to do our bidding. He's not

A better write-up can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/joyent/node-http-signature/blob/master/ht... Frankly, the blog post leaves a lot of questions and is short on links to answers. It would be easy to walk away from the post think

No. Trevor Eckhart's video showed him capturing and recording the Android event log. This only demonstrates that the CarrierIQ agent running on the phone attached an event listener to keyboard events. While that behavior is consistent with

On the other hand, I'd much rather a client pitch a great idea that's technologically infeasible than just come up with something spur of the moment that they deem possible. If you start the conversation at, "This mechanic may not be possib

At the risk of going too far off topic and without intending to be too harsh: at least in the video, that interface looks nice, but there is too much lag between when a tap/gesture is made and when the interface reflects it. This breaks the

Encryption is not just something computers can do. You can encrypt your handwritten notes. If you do so, can the government compel you to tell them what you have written? If they cannot, how is this different from having a machine act as yo
