I read through the article, and a lot of what you've got looks really useful. Your explanation of GIT and source control is especially valuable. These are all pretty much skills a good programmer should have, but I would make one excep

The honest truth? Laptops. Businesses are buying laptops more often than desktops for the past 10 years and different manufacturers have been utilizing different approaches to minimize the number of cables needed per accessory. The case of

Unlimited PTO is bs because when you give unlimited time off people usually request less time off, and companies don't have to pay you for unused time off when you leave. The potential to punish for taking time off isn't a thing a

Jesus Christ on a cracker people, are you all really this stupid? The difference between 1983 and 2017 is the magnitude of information and functionality. In 1983, a whole MB of ram was what super computers ran on. Your average desktop typic

When was the last time you saw an advertisement for Google search. I'm serious, they advertise for other people, but nobody advertises for you to use Google. Who exactly is Google paying for preferential treatment regarding search? Mic

I think your reaction here is similar to how people reacted to the headline that a woman sued her 5 year old nephew for accidentally breaking her arm. She was actually suing the parent's home owners insurance policy because the policy

You're correct that it's our own responsibility to be on top of whatever is going on and to train ourselves. However, plenty of companies think that expect for training scheduled and provided by the company, that it's not app

I have two points for you. 1. There are many extremely important features that may only be needed once or twice a year. For example I work in developing cost estimating tools. The tools I build are extremely important, but some of them may

The original author is attempting to make a point about software development. It is tempting to use examples like what you just have, but the problem is you've over-extended the metaphor when you do. The reason your metaphor doesn&#x27

The requirement for provable non-profit status is a legal requirement. A new federal law that passed last year makes it so any "online" content distribution network (including Google play) is legally responsible for any crimes com

The whining about Apple is astounding. Nearly everyone complaining about the lack of freedom of choice in here has an android phone and just wants to smarm it up. We get it, you warned them about the possibility of Apple doing this, only th

Sigh, I grow tired of pointing this out, but if they were able to figure out someone was doing this, and even who it was, then you weren't a l33t hacker. You used common tools and used a known exploit that people were watching. You bro

Actually, detecting hot-water particles does not automatically mean greater polution. Admittedly, I agree with the research authors and you that bottled water is less healthy and a scam, but it is still possible that the particles are non-h

The difference is mostly to do with user experience. It also has to do with the requirements of how you bill the customer. It means you can't give them a "free" sign up and then charge them a fee after the click the data sell

I think you've missed the point. This does not make it illegal to collect or even sell user data, it makes it illegal to do so without consent. Any concern regarding whether consent is likely to be withheld really just points out how s
