Corporations and governments are not responsible for keeping children safe online. Parents are. It is far past the time we should have learned that letting kids interact with strangers online is no different than it is at the park or the ga

I have found guest accounts in general to be barely supported. I can’t manage my 2FA for my guest account in other organizations, can’t control which account to log in with (MS seems to decide based on which resource I’m navigating to), and

That sucks. If your email provider supports +suffixes you may be able to work around it that way.

It's relative, but I assume it's flagging for certain class of known malicious patterns. There's nothing stopping you from writing malicious python code, but essentially that script will only run while you expect it to in mos

I've been a part of a few of these, and it really just depends. Overall, though, the report will break down the company into a bunch of different categories (and not just from a code/tech stack standpoint). Sometimes you'll g

A technique I’ve used in the past is just turn off directory listing and shove protected content behind a directory named using the hash of the password. Then after hashing the password provided by the user, the directory either exists or i

It took me a few seconds to parse what UnitOfWork meant in this context because that’s also a pattern for carrying e.g. database transactions through to different dependencies. E.g. in C#: using var uow = UnitOfWorkContainer.Begin();

This is actually a great example of not giving the person communicating the most gracious interpretation. Look, all I'm saying is we'd all be a lot better off if we gave each other the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the int

Reduce gravity and slow down time about 2x each and I think this would actually be entertaining. The way it is now I can’t even type the correct letters without bombing

I think this is the exact kind of thing we should be talking about. There are some truths that I think we can brush aside if we let ourselves, such as: 1. All people experience trauma. Whether you think one person's trauma is more impo

Others have mentioned this being a Javascript-specific problem, but it really isn't. I think there's probably a lot of money in building realistic software models for learning. Maybe not full-production but at least realistic use

Uncharacteristically off-topic comment from me, I guess, but when do humans get to a point where we no longer have to appeal to the lowest common denominator? How are our relationships supposed to improve if we dub anything that makes us un

Well, I think the main difficulty with SSR is you'd think it would be more of an incremental step. I don't think it's so much a "separation of concerns" issue (i.e. just having some of your presentation logic runnin

I think there’s a bit too much “blaming the tool” going on here. Be reasonable about what you introduce into a software project. If it’s a bunch of CRUD you probably can wait to add a front-end framework. If you find yourself needing it for

Honestly if you have to be a reasonably-well-known public figure to pull this off then I’m not sure how accessible it really is. I’m reasonably well known in my own city, and I could maaaybe pull off this level of comp working on strictly f

Spot on. This actually applies to most consultants like myself. Though I pay expenses in order to develop software, since I don't own the resulting IP I can't take advantage of the R&D credit.

Key verbiage here is "for purposes of this section". Section 174 can define software development expenses however it wants--that doesn't make amortization required.

I'm not sure you can separate "identify regressions" and "test suite" into different buckets. I'll concede that if you can, it'd be an acceptable replacement--assuming, of course, that it doesn't add

Well, look at it this way--what benefits are there in doing so? - The test suite runs faster - Less time is spent maintaining the test suite The argument wasn't whether tests should ever be deleted, but rather an encouragement to delet

We're literally paying a Nanny to do basically this right now with our younger two boys. She has other duties, of course, but we could pay a housekeeper a lot less to have those other things done.

> Don’t waste time keeping unit tests constantly up-to-date if the code is working. Once the code is both correct and well-factored, feel free to disable or remove the unit tests so they don’t clutter your test runs with errors after sub

I think both can be true. I practice and encourage “solving for a class of problem,” but typically where I see people generate technical debt is when attempting to apply that advice to domain/business logic that isn’t and shouldn’t be

During a vacation a couple years ago I dropped a glass in the sink while washing it and reflexively tried to catch it. My hand made contact just as it was shattering in the bottom of the sink, resulting in a really nasty, irregular gash tha

I think my coworkers mostly think of me as a 10x programmer, and I think this is due to a few factors: - I am familiar with almost all the code at our business and can pretty much jump in anywhere and start working. Most developers try and

My wife and I have accumulated a few overall principles about money over the years. What's interesting is how they have played out over time. Here are a few of them: 1. Money and debt are amoral financial tools. It's important to

I think I probably wasted half my teenage years on Subspace/Continuum. What a blast that game was! Not to mention the diverse player base. I noticed they even listed on Steam a few years back, but being 38 with 4 kids doesn’t lend much

The longer I do this job, the less I value extremely high intelligence. In the end whatever you work on has to be able to be picked up by someone else, so unless you're working in very specific fields, there's not a lot to be gain

There should be a basic right of people to control their own “attention” akin to posting a private property sign.

If only Instacart would follow along on this. Really annoying getting a buzz for every order I make (I do about 3 per week). And then I also have to dismiss a bunch of screens prior to the next order.

As a Christian, I feel the same way about tithing (I'd do it whether there was a tax break or not). As a pragmatist, I'll take whatever tax break I can get. I do think it becomes difficult to draw a line. What I mean is, one reaso
