I'm not surprised. Apple appears to have shit the bed with most of its cloud offerings whether it's Photos or Music. It's amazing that with their attention to detail on hardware that they just can't get the software righ

Let's Encrypt is a bit of a joke though. You have to renew every 3 months. Anyone who has used these certs knows what a huge pain in the arse it is to do even once a year. "Oh but we'll work out some way to semi-automate it&q

It sounds like what the Vessyl was trying to do and has failed miserably, as evidenced from repeated delays.

Here in Australia: * The cashier presses credit on the POS terminal. * It may take 1s for the logo to come up. You hold your card against the reader for ~1s. The icon changes while it's verifying which takes < ~5s.

So the ls and make and all those tools; where do they come from? Are they straight compiles using GNU gcc tools etc? I only ask because I have no idea how much is the kernel compared to everything else; and if it has its own custom compiler

I read the whole thing and did a search and still don't know what the index is, what it's for, or how to use it.

Agreed. Whenever I hear a self important IT person saying "this place WILL go under without me" I know I'm dealing with someone delusional or inexperienced. A company of any size can continue on even if severely crippled with

Except that it seems when it comes to Azure everyone feels safe then also backing up to Azure (specifically talking about SQL database here). Sigh...

Yes. It's bad news and exactly why free software supporters need to keep fighting the good fight and spreading the word. We can't allow technical oligarchies control over what we do with our computing, enacting stupid policies, wi

Fair points, you're thinking on a different scale for me. The agencies I'm thinking of were little more than chop shops who hire and then resell. The only positive they could give you is if someone is sick they can back fill; but

I absolutely agree. For freelance/contract work the price should be about double expected base salary. First of all because agencies get away with charging that much so you're just undercutting yourself needlessly unless you join

I'm not familiar with upwork but I've been surprised looking at other freelancing sites and seeing the range of salaries. It went from $15/hr - $40/hr - $100/hr. But what surprised me was the mix of people in each r

I totally agree on asking the actual company what they're paying the recruiter before you sign on; they will always be expecting an amount of work equal to full amount paid to the recruiter rather than the meagre sum that will end up i

What about KeePass? There's even a web front end. Though really in an organisation you'd probably pay for one of those other solutions (Secret Server?)

I'd like to know more about what it's doing and how it works. I can imagine a couple scenarios: 1) It might have a "baseline" time during which it allows and records everything, and then locks down anything outside of th

It's law in Australia. If you do not serve a notice period you owe the company wages for that period. 1 month wages minus 1 month notice = 0. Most people have no notice periods, serve their notice period, or get approval not to serve i

I wish everyone took onboarding seriously. I worked for one company for a month. From the get go they had 100+ staff but no onboarding. Nobody knew how to set up the development environment or even get the application working on the company

I'd prefer to download a PDF of PC Mag - this is so full of nostalgia. I couldn't understand the Swedish language here but I take it this can't be downloaded.

It sounds like they've confused a) users submitting results from static analysis that wastes time, b) users submitting demonstrable vulnerabilities, and c) license agreements. a) is bad, and the users should just be turned away. b) is

What irritates me is the language. We're making a choice based on a button with a one sentence dumbed down description. But what is the full legally binding extent of what we're agreeing to with each click? Nobody knows. "We

We had this "problem" at two of my workplaces; one where I was the one doing it and the other where someone else was doing it. In my case I lived nearby but sometimes was 5-10 minutes late despite having moved to live literally 5

"Opportunity"! Opportunity to work for less while the recruiter sits there earning a fat fee for merely passing on my resume? No thanks. I love how everyone thinks their job is some amazing opportunity but won't back it up wi

It depends if we are talking local or outsourced. From a coworker, he says what you save in money up front you will lose in time trying to communicate what you want with them, getting the result, smacking yourself in the head while finding

I also did Uberman, a few times, for a few weeks at a time. The first week was always rough but once you get beyond that I felt like I was Superman. It didn't last forever though. For me I was young and trying to fit work in with going

This article made me extremely unhappy. It's like a letter from the rich baby boomer generation living in big houses, and with multiple "investment" properties jacking up the prices for the rest of us, then telling us well yo
