Sometimes I think "melancholy" was a better way to describe the situation than "dysthymia" or "major depressive disorder". It might be that's just your personality and the way you look at life. Maybe if

Interesting that the title says "March 2015 Security Incident" but it turns out it was in February. Also interesting they don't say which days in February.

But there was no user story in which the user typed "../sms"! You seem to be encouraging thinking about scenarios like this in advance, a.k.a. BDUF.

Personally I'm suspicious of this so-called "internal tool i've built to increase transparency and communication".

Which means no standard at all. I'm grateful to W3C for continuing their standardization work.

Bizarrely, this only works for second-level domains however, and isn't disclosed in advance. Really, CAs shouldn't be throwing in "free bonus" SANs without customer authorization ever. It would be much better to have a place to enter the S

If you're in it to make money then you should absolutely have a plan for that. If you're in it to just make something cool, then do it. Sadly I think that with all the focus on startups here, the "hacker" in "Hacker News" gets forgotten so

Comodo's been good to me in this regard. Incidentally, beware of RapidSSL and their "free www." SAN; they only grant it in certain specific and undocumented circumstances.

I'm reminded of Pirsig's comments on the multiple ways you could break down a motorcycle, for example. The tyranny of the dominant decomposition is no joke, especially when single inheritance and single dispatch are so popular.

For feature implementation speed, function point analysis ( http://alvinalexander.com/FunctionPoints/ ) is a good start. There are tables available that give rough industry-wide figures for hours per function point. However keep in mind t
