Don't we already take a risk by trusting our income (for most of us, our financial security) to a single company? If profits go down for your employer, your job may be at risk even in companies that operate in a rigid post-industrial r

In essence, two things: - Your ability to do your job and meet your obligations. If you can take 3 months off and still meet the expectations set for you then that might be ok. It might also be a sign that you need a bigger challenge, but t

Absolutely. But we will need to change our leadership style, or our leaders if that's what it takes, to reap any benefits from innovation.

Yes there are, I'm not advocating for a one solution fits all.

Well, at least this one was technically challenging. My favourite bank robbery happened in London a couple of years ago and it used social engineering 3G modems and KVMs. More info here: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy&#x2

This is actually a very good point. If only there was a system of public ledger for fiat currency :-)

I'll be reading more into unikernels because it does seem like an interesting topic. However, I strongly advise you to read up on how production environments are done in security conscious enterprises (banks, payment providers, etc) as

Thank you, I'm going to read through those carefully.

Exactly! No architecture, no structure, no process, no documentation and with some luck, no money either.

Because it has a good suite of tools that work out of the box. There's LDAP, webmail, webDav/calDav/cardDav, admin interface, antivirus, anti-spam, etc. It integrates well with OwnCloud too which is a nice plus. When I was lo

Nice find. I setup a Kolab + Ubuntu server based email for myself and family a few months ago and it has been running great. If anyone would be interested in a writeup let me know.

I liked this article but I couldn't stop thinking "you would do well in investing in a project manager" at every bullet point.

Imagine you are developing inside a VM but use the browser on the host OS to check the results. If the bind address was localhost then you would need to tunnel your connection from host to guest to be able to reach your server. By binding t

not all addresses but all interfaces, which can have one or more addresses plumbed in.

At enterprise level AppDynamics kicks ass. I think their pre-sales pitch is that it was built thinking of production use first and then adapted to run in dev/test environment while the competition did it the other way around. Not sure

That's a though question as there are always exceptions to the rule but generally I would be cautious in investing (money) in a company that is growing slower than its sector would allow for. However I would happy to invest time in suc

I would suggest some changes to your resume, mainly to bring out your programming skills and expertise and then to highlight that you have significant work experience with system engineering so you are not a neophyte and can actually add so

Are you sure? I'm usually very careful with my usage of figures of speech but I'm no language major so maybe I should clarify that I meant that I could see edge cases but not a general purpose one. Did this clarify my point or in

Ok, but that would only be true if I was going to spin up a new vm to join the load group / cluster but even then no one would do that unless behind a reverse proxy / waf load balancer so the attack vector angle is covered. I&#x27

I have a bit of a problem understanding why this would be a good thing to be honest. Capacity demand is handled by resource concurrency thresholds so why would spinning up a new OS (no matter how lightweight) be better than having non-block

I think this rule is a nice generalization overall but for my money I would discount natural segment growth from the company's year on year. So, if the market (ie mobile payments) is growing 50% YoY and the company is only growing at a

From the original article: "If you are doing better than the 40% rule, that’s awesome." Tarsnap is doing awesome. Keep up the good work!

I really liked the profile article, and I think it's a great idea to showcase the people you have working for you! But as an Architect myself, I tend to object to the misuse of the title for pre-sales positions. It's just a pet pe
