The other benefits I've had is that the retail stores can adjust the glasses to fit. Additionally at least a few of the retail locations will do eye exams, so you can get your eyes examined, get your new prescription and pick out your

It's really only useful in areas of codebases that either a) are very complex, b) touched by many people or c) both. When that happens, everyone prefers that there is a lot of documentation, especially about the why. With older codeba

It's almost certainly the other way around since Battle Royale was published in 1999 and the Battle Royale film came out in 2000. Both probably take some inspiration from Lord of the Flies

It tends to be hit and miss. Some places have it work well and sometimes it just hasn't gone through. I'll have to take a look at Sherpaa, I hadn't heard of it before.

Healthcare tech is notoriously bad, but over the past 5 ish years there has been a wave of healthcare tech companies who focus on making their products consumer-friendly (ZocDoc, DrChrono, Oscar, PillPack, Capsule etc). NYC in particular ha

What's happened in the last 5 years is the rollout of multiple streaming services (Tidal, Apple Music, Amazon Music) and the partial collapse of a few players like Pandora, SoundCloud, LastFM. The real challenges to creating music plat

This is almost certainly the result of adding a new compliance product feed (which may have false positives). I remember having to implement one for an acquired ecommerce site. The feed by it's nature was prone to false positives (it m

Yes, other languages have the ability to have multiple differing versions as well BUT the big difference is that most have a relatively easy and well-known way to install and set up the environment. In Ruby, if you wanted to run multiple ve

You'll often see these entitled data engineers, data architects, data warehouse engineers. Terms to search for are data warehouse, data lake. Industries that use EDI tend to have datawarehousing jobs. These include healthcare, energy,

So the good news is that you have a CS degree and that does make a difference. When you switch jobs, you won't be at square one since you do have engineering experience and you've seen what works and what doesn't. However you

Make sure to file a complaint with your state attorney general. Cases like these can quickly get their attention and more importantly, companies don't want to be investigated by AGs. Unlike state regulators, companies are less likely t

I've mixed feelings about AV. It's very disruptive and most really only work well with Windows (Mac and Linux are second-class citizens for most products). That said, over the past year I've helped my father get rid of malwa

It actually isn't. Often the voluntary separation offers the most severance or is close to it. Everyone left now has a ton more work to do while being paid the same and knowing that you won't be getting a raise or bonus. Everyone

Probably not in a direct way unless you work in PR, but yes. Part of the allure of working at a major tech company like Google, Facebook, etc was being able to brag that you worked at shiny company. Now the shine is off, and your friends an

Only partially. The NYPD was essentially forced by lawsuits and political pressure to shut down stop and frisk. The ACLU lawsuit that parent mentioned, required that police have a valid reason to stop and frisk someone in advance. Think of

Speaking as someone from the NYC area at the time of the event, the anger was directed at Osama Bin Laden, al-Qaeda and the Taliban. There was a lot of anger, fear and the need to do _something_. That need was directed at Afghanistan very q

That lists 38 hipaa-compliant services. Azure's is close to 80ish hipaa-compliant services. AWS' list is fairly large too. I haven't used GCE in a long time, so maybe GCE just has that many fewer products/services.

AWS has a large number of things that aren't HIPAA-compliant as well including Elasticsearch. They've made significant progress over the past two years to make most services HIPAA-compliant

One thing that Azure has really done a good job at is compliance. According to their latest report there are 13 services that aren't HIPAA-compliant, where most of their services are. Compared to Google or AWS that's a major jump

One thing to keep in mind is that you may have signed a non-compete when you joined your company. If you have, that should be a major factor in how you respond.

Actually if you think about it, computers already have a security response. Anti-virus to protect them from malware and find my computer/tablet/phone to protect against theft. These protect against the most common security attack
