The salary ceiling is very low in UK.
What is often? Every year? Every 6 months?

I have been asked during interviews why I left job A or B, and I just explained "The company ran out of money" or "They hired me to do something but then completely changed direction", etc. If you have a reason to explain why you left I don't think anyone can see that as a problem.

You said it, as developers we sometimes work for unstable companies, we take a bet and sometimes we lose. So what? We move on.

I would hire a guy who changes jobs every year over someone who's been in the same position for 10 years.

However, companies try to maintain this climate of "you have to commit!" because they want to use people guilt to keep them. It always baffles me to see companies who demand loyalty from their employees but have no problem letting them go when times are tough.

I think Apple just needs to review their policy and add another entitlement "Entire Current User Folder ~/" to allow apps that traditionally cannot be sandboxed. I am sure they want us to re-imagine a way for FTP apps to work, but I don't want to change my workflow. I want to be able to browse any folder on my Mac on the left pane. So I won't buy the Mac App Store version. I fully agree with Panic and why they bailed out.
This kind of hair-splitting is why the legal definition of "exceeding authorized access" is so general.

There seems to be a very popular misconception that the law criminalizes "hacking", as in "0-day exploits" and "SQL injection". No: thankfully, the law doesn't so much care about how you get access. It cares that you knowingly access things without permission, no matter how you do it.

I'm pretty sure they shouldn't tell users it's safe to type in credit card numbers -- these certs are "domain validation" (DV).

The certs that generate a green chip in the address bar are "extended validation" (EV) certs that typically cost hundreds and require a human to manually verify things.

This is shocking, I followed this closely last year as I am a die-hard Astros fan but never thought it would be another team. I definitely doubt the Cardinals endorsed this, it was just some dudes that had access. These guys will be fired (if they haven't already) and there will be fines. Nothing too crazy will happen.

Though if the FBI finds that the GM/high level execs knew about the activity... this will be unprecedented. The penalties would be staggering as MLB would want to crack down extremely hard to deter future bad behavior.

> But it sounds like you're doing much smaller chunks of stuff for multiple clients? I tend to dedicate myself to one client at a time and work more or less full time on one project. Serial monogamy one might call it... I'm not an employee because I work on a project basis and then leave with no fuss :) I'm definitely a contractor, are you more of a freelancer?

It's mostly one client at the moment, but not full time (10 days a month) and often based around when a new dataset becomes available to analyse. I work in Biotech and not strictly software development, so it's a slightly different model I guess.

It's also partly my fault, sometimes life gets in the way or I run out of steam after 4 or 5 hours staring at a dataset.

For contracting I'd ideally like to have a few clients and move between projects.

I guess Wolf of Wall St puts that behaviour on a bit of a pedestal. I personally don't know anyone that is that kind of a prick, but presumably they exist.

We've a similar example using real world travel times here: https://graphhopper.com/api/1/examples/#optimization (use the temporary API key: 7e76e228-d7fa-4795-a8c5-ad1048de42f1)

This demonstrates that jsprit and GraphHopper combined (both open source) can be used to achieve similar performance with a lot more precise output (due to read real world data) and if you need to calculate the optimal route with multiple vehicles, time windows, capacity etc that is also not a problem. Also not by bike ;)

In most cases what actually happens is that people use the main distribution repo for the 99% of packages which are stable and when you need something newer you add external apt/yum/etc. sources for those specific projects.

In the Ubuntu world, there's a huge ecosystem supporting this style where you upload source packages and they'll build and host the binary packages for you:

https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA

This approach gives you the speed, reliability and security benefits of binary packages with the currency of ports and, more importantly, allows you to opt-in only where you specifically know you need new features.
You've got a typo here:

We beleive they should meet...
The other thing I find peculiar, when driving, is why I can never remember any details about journeys from A to B that take around 30-60 minutes. When I arrive somewhere those last 60 minutes are just a complete blank.
That's a big security no no...

It's a no-no when the provider has a duty to the user, such as when the user is a paying customer. It's probably OK when the provider is the employer and the user is merely an employee? I say this because employers regularly do much worse stuff, like running MitM proxies that log bank passwords...

Factually, no, he hasn't. While he has overtly considered running in 1988, 2000, 2004, and 2012 (which isn't every four years since the 1980s), 2016 marks the first time he has formally announced a campaign.

Well, 40% of height would be right around 30" for me. I'm not sure that I had a 30" waist back when I was running marathons in my twenties; 32", maybe. At this point, I don't think anyone this side of Procrustes could get me into trousers with a 30" waist; yet I think I'm reasonably fit for my age.

The USMC calculator for body fat uses neck and waist circumference both, and by that I was (last time I measured) in decent shape for body fat percentage.

I think you're making a subtly different point than judah. They seem to be claiming that apple lags because it enables them to make more off of consumers via iOS specific apps whereas you seem to be claiming they make more off of developers via iOS specific apps. I imagine Apple is far more concerned about judah's consumer point than your developer point; there isn't a ton of profit in selling $100 developer licenses compared to the massive consumer market.

This is the worst kind of controversy. Schneier is not wrong: removing the diffuser did, technically, reduce the security of Bitlocker.

Unfortunately, it reduced the security of Bitlocker in a way that is only marginally relevant to Bitlocker's goals, and in a way that is very, very difficult to explain to people who don't routinely work with cryptography.

So it's hard to crisply refute Schneier on this point, even as we have to watch the alarming spectacle of him recommending a rando disk encryption program that offers Blowfish, CAST, and GOST encryption.
I seriously doubt it. I work in code so every day is a humbling experience in how much I don't know, and should.

The point is understanding people don't want truth, they want magic. Your job is to make truth and sell it like magic.

This is why I always say IT guys should focus on being much better communicators. It doesn't matter if you're right when nobody believes you. But if you're right and everybody believes you? Then you can get a lot done in a company.
