Right, but you seem to be talking about input -- the question was about output. I did get my answer, though -- output matters because it might be a different medium than input. So even if you sanitize HTML input, malicious VBA code could ma

Ok, this is the comment that best explained it to me -- you want to sanitize (escaped, etc, whatever) output because, even if you sanitize all HTML/CSS/JS on input, they might have inserted malicious Excel scripts or PDF exploits,

Can you clarify? What exactly do you mean by escaping output, and how can forgetting that cause a security issue?

Is that any different (legally) than if you refill your own car with a gas can?

I'm certain there are lots of defensive security positions available. The government has lots of departments that work to strengthen at least their own security, not just surveillance/attack organizations.

For a couple of years my debit card was paywave. When it worked it was excellent, though it seemed to fail about 20% of the time (I'd end up swiping). Then my bank removed it on their newer cards. I was sad.

IIRC, Fog Creek does the same and also have some explanatory posts.

I live in a small-ish, suburb/rural large town in central PA. I have gone to McDonald's a couple of times in the late morning, and every time it's completely full of people over 75 socializing (including half the staff).

This whole thread is odd to me. My understanding of libertarian philosophy is that welfare in any form (BI or not) is not within the state's jurisdiction. Where does that view go on the right/left spectrum?

This is a good explanation of things, but scapegoating "fiscal conservatives" for reducing budgets seems disingenuous, and deflects blame from those responsible (IE, the police, DAs, judges, and legislators who allow this travesty

I haven't stayed at a job for longer than 3 years, and all of them have been internal projects with no external visibility, so I can't really know for sure. I do have a 21-line python script that I still use which I initially comm

Living in a rural area isn't a lifestyle choice when the cities are so far apart. If the cities were every 40-60 miles, it might be. I live 2 hours from the nearest city that has any significant public transport (central Pennsylvania).

I'm not sure I've ever seen one, and I've run exclusively *nix on my personal machines for about 8 years. Yet I've seen a lot on the Win10 laptop I just bought a few months ago (mostly due to a broken windows update -- u

Every Chinese buffet I've ever eaten at had a sushi section, as well. I'd say there's a lot of overlap.

Is that review lopsidedness on purpose? IE, do devs go in and choose to do an arbitrary set of reviews when they feel like it? or are they assigned? The one code-review-heavy team I worked on did a modified round-robin style. The team wiki

Though I am surprised to see "test" not included in the dev license. Aren't they usually lumped together?

lots of things would be nice to have control of from work, or even just from bed at night. climate control, door locks, lights, etc.

Did your company assist with the local office, or is that on your own dime? I have an opportunity for a full-time remote position, and I was considering a similar setup.

That was how we generally accomplished that enforcement -- see an unlocked machine, write an email to the team list saying "I'm bringing breakfast tomorrow!"

The organization can take responsibility for the issue. "During a system update, we mistakenly deleted a production database. We are restoring it and shoring up our disaster recovery plan." That's very different from "Du

The team as a whole was still accountable. The tech lead/PM were still accountable. Internally, members were accountable. Certainly, if there was a specific problem, it could be raised to management. But generally, if we were in a week

I worked on a team that had a list of "breakfastable offences" -- violating these rules meant you had to bring in breakfast for the whole team (donuts, bagels, whatever). One of them was "throwing someone under the bus."

I was going to say you could get a similar level iPhone for a similar price -- most people seem to compare top-of-the-line iPhones with low- or mid-range Android devices. But then I looked up the iPhone 4s (2013's low-range) on eBay an

The exception for all of these would be individual, contracted work. IE, wedding photographers will be in demand long after any mass-market commercial photography dies out.

I smoke pipes and cigars for exactly the reasons you've mentioned. It forces me to hang out on my deck for a couple hours doing nothing (because my hands are busy). It's fantastic introvert time to regroup after a long week. I kno
