I've felt for a few years now that server notifications, bug reports, etc, should almost never go to email clients.

Sure you can use email to generate the ticket, but they need to go into a CRM / bug tracking system of some kind. Otherwise everyone ends up overwhelmed with meaningless repetitive emails, like it sounds is happening with you.
Thanks, you're right that will be the hard part. Luckily there is a strong tech community where I'm from (Brighton UK) so hopefully that will be a good stepping stone!
Shouldn't be a huge issue, but for search I think it's best practices to have one redirect to the other.
> Things in XML do not need to be just strings.

Things in XML are just strings.

Schemas are metadata, annotations to tell processors "treat this string as [some other datatype]" (note how it's not going to work if you're not using the schema and a schema-aware processor?)

And guess what? Nothing stops you from doing exactly the same thing in JSON. In fact you don't have much of a choice for the datatypes JSON doesn't natively support (dates being the most common one, but not the only one by any mean). And good JSON interfaces provide for embedding transcodings directly in the parsing or dumping (that's what the `reviver` and `replacer` arguments do in JSON.parse and JSON.stringify) for exactly that purpose.

> PS: I still don't like XML, but your comment is technically incorrect.

Nope. Specific XML dialects may have non-string datatypes (XML-RPC certainly does), but XML only has strings. In the same way CSV only has strings, but specific CSV uses may have more. That's the plain facts of the matter.
Not to mention the NY Post is not the same thing as credible, non sensational tech journalism.
good luck from my side then :)

Whether we're at war or not has nothing to do with it (except insofar as you take the Bush Administration's argument that AUMF implicitly granted wide-ranging foreign espionage authorization under FISA). As tptacek pointed out, my argument is fairly banal and should be uncontroversial: If a law can be interpreted in any way that avoids usurping Executive authority, the Executive can and should interpret it that way. This is not dissimilar from the Judiciary's general practice to read Congressional statutes as constitutional if there's any such plausible reading.

If Congress passed (over a veto) a law tomorrow requiring the President to fire his Secretary of State, that law would be unconstitutional. The President wouldn't need to wait for the Supreme Court to overturn it, he could simply refuse to obey it, and he would be right. That has nothing to do with John Yoo or whether or not we're at war.

(A similar issue actually came up during Reconstruction: The Tenure of Office Act was unconstitutional, and Johnson was right to violate it, though it got him impeached.)

> I do not believe that there is any strong argument for treating capital gains differently from other other income as a matter of economic policy.

The lower tax rate for dividends, for example, is a carrot dangling in front of a would-be enterpreneur. The idea of having less of the fruits of your labor forcefully taken away from you is very appealing.

Of course, the alternative is to take your intelligence to a friendlier tax climate, and be milked less by that other government. That carrot is a pretty good idea, because in this case, your original government gets nothing.
For those who don't know why this is important or a big thing.

1. He/His family is a very big role model for every aspiring entrepreneur in India.

2. They have a history of over a 150 years of building not just hundreds of billion dollar business but also contributing a lot back to the society.

3. They have built numerous hospitals across India, which often come across as life savers for many middle class/poor people. Especially cancer cure hospitals.

4. They also built one of the premiere science institutes in India. In Bangalore.

5. They more or less built and entire city called Jamshedpur, in the process of setting up their business providing lively hood several thousands of people.

6. They were phenomenal in pioneering the national airline of India.

7. They set up many high ethical standards regarding treating workers well. Infact getting 8 hour work day, health care etc were all their standards now common in government offices in India.

And I can just go on.

Once in generation leaders have been produced by their family. Which are not just changing the face of India but that of the world now.

For those who want to know what contributions they have towards software. They were one of the earliest software services companies in India named Tata consultancy services. To know why that is so important. Together with Infosys and Wipro they defined and shaped the entire software scene in India.

Today youngsters troll on these large Mega corps. But those three companies did much of bulk of Indian software work throughout 80's and 90's. They built bulk of the infrastructure. They built training facilities, trained people and built a lot of confidence that Indians have it in them to compete at the global stage. They even shaped the government policy to a large extent.

Without all that, much of what is possible in Indian IT and pursued with confidence not just in services, but also products couldn't have even been remotely possible.

You could almost say Narayana Murthy, Ratan Tata and Azim Premji could take the all the accolades for building such a bold platform for Indian software engineers to deliver at a global level now.

I take your points, especially the one about hardware, but the government has decided that, indeed, programming of some kind will be taught in schools! The development timescale is next year or the year after, so these skills will be delivered by existing staff.

My point is: teaching environments like Scratch, or Web sites with visually appealing interactive content related to programming will be in demand. Watch the social stuff though, we have a big safeguarding agenda in the UK.

The main problem is the best developers go the highest bidders which are often not Indian companies. Amazon, Google, Microsoft these are the ones offering big bucks in India.

But they won't be able to hire anything more than a few tens of people every year.

With several thousands of engineers coming out of colleges every years. Without mass hiring firms like Wipro, Infosys and TCS we are screwed. Its a fact nobody likes to admit.

Its also a myth that these companies don't have good work, I worked for one of them. If you are genuinely passionate, you can do far better work than what is portrayed.

And as I said, without these employers like these we would all be screwed.

Heck, without them doing all the work in the 80's and 90's we wouldn't probably even stand a chance now.
Which is why I think that having a guideline is important - if only to set the expectation when you join the company.

If a company had a "no vacation policy", and when pressed about it, they said "just get your work done - we don't track vacation time", how much vacation time would you plan to take in your first year there?

When you're there, you realize that nobody ever takes vacations. Can you still justify that three week long trip to Asia that you had planned? I mean, you can always find a new job, but you've already sunk a ton of time into the company. If instead they said that you get three weeks, at the very least you get paid out for it when you leave. It's also easier to get a direct answer for "do people take their vacation time?"

As an aside, but I think your point "they [think they] are irreplaceable or are in continual danger" is a pretty good point for encouraging extended vacation - if you can't survive for two weeks without someone on your team, something needs to change, and that can be a good way to identify those people.

Uh huh. Please help me out with some links as to why Keynes was wrong on this. He may be, but "seems" doesn't suggest that you have made much of a study of it. I haven't gone much further in my studies, perhaps you could help me here?

> economic growth is caused by spending dollars depends on what they're spent on, not who is spending

Half correct. The argument is that an extra dollar in the hands of a poor person is much more likely to be spent sooner on some basic good like food, and to another relatively poor person who will do likewise. i.e. with higher velocity of money. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity_of_money The article mentions this. You know about velocity of money, right?

> I think most dollars spent by both poor people and rich people are spent on consumption, not investment

ORLY? Most arguments that I have read on it claim that most dollars spent by rich people are spent on investment. i.e. Rich people can save and invest, poor people can't. Saving and investment is slow velocity money storage.

In short, since money given to poor people will probably be spent a few times over before it ends up in some corporation's coffers, why would "helicopter money" http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jan/26/economy-... be worse than the current policy of printing money and giving it to banks who don't want to lend it out to any investment?

> Growth caused by dollars spent on investment and innovation is exponential. So it seems to me that finding ways to get more dollars to be spent on investment rather than consumption is the best way to increase economic growth.

please supply a link to an article about how "exponential innovation" is more important than monetary velocity. It may be, but not because it "seems" to someone. Right now, that's just gibberish to me.

It's completely legitimate to have an input tag outside of a label. Even the link you provided states:

The HTML <label> Element represents a caption for an item in a user interface. It can be associated with a control either by using the for attribute, or by placing the control element inside the label element.

As long as you use the for attribute, it's fine.

My favorite resource for this is : https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Main_Page

It has the major security flaws, how they secure them, and how the attack is done. However, I think the best way to secure a website is to keep one thing in mind when programming: never trust anything from the client. Thats input, cookies, anything that can be tampered with on the client side (browser in the case of the web). If you do accept anything without sanitizing or having some sort of check, then you will be hacked and something will be stolen (whether or not it is important, that depends on the domain you are working on).
Instagram is a perfect example of how arrogance could re-define the 'image' of a company.

The real problem for Instagram was not about selling its users' photos. The real problem was being 'sneaky as fuck'. If you intend to sell our photos, we actually have no problem. You just have to make it clear to us. But what did Instagram do? Silently update it's terms of service WITHOUT informing its users. Legally, it's not obliged to do so, but when you have tons of data that THE USERS have uploaded, it is YOUR duty to tell us, atleast inform us before trying to sell it. This is what created that public outrage, because Instagram failed to notify any of its users of this change. You can't just walk in one fine day saying, "You know what? All the pictures YOU have taken effort getting it right, will be ours from today, and I guess it's best you don't know about it."

Well, fuck you Instagram, you deserved this. When I joined Instagram, I knew someday it would have to make money to sustain and most likely my data would be compromised (something an average user wouldn't realize and would assume it's forever free). Fitting ads somewhere inside your app or on your webpage would have been a much better solution, because it is something the average user would see (and possibly wouldn't mind either). But your sneaky as fuck change in TOS was UNETHICAL. You deserve this. I just hope some other open source app replaces you and your fame fades away. Because you are u.n.e.t.h.i.c.a.l.

India doesn't have institutions or the kind of exposure people at MIT or Stanford or Berkeley or Princeton have.

There is almost no support from the government and people are either mostly lower middle class or poor. So its a little unfair to expect people like Richard Stallman or Larry Wall to have born in India.

It is possible in the US only because because bulk of work in building universities, infrastructure and exposure is already done by your government.

However when given the proper support Indians have always proved to be very hardworking people who go great heights.

Where does this leave us? Companies like these did a lot of work to put Indian developers on the global scene by first fighting a socialist kind of economy, building multi billion dollar businesses, training people and doing a lot of confidence building work for Indians.

May be the next generation you will see some genuine competition from India.

To give a concrete example, 19.99 can't be exactly represented in floating-point, and ends up being 19.989something. If you have a price of $19.99 that's represented in floating-point, and if you truncate rather than round as you pass it off for display, you'll end up displaying a price of $19.98. With enough manipulation, the error can accumulate to the extent that rounding the result won't save you either.
