I can't believe people still read that stuff I wrote :o

Is the second problem domain web perhaps? So people can learn that tags can not be self-closing, and so they won't break the JS includes so bootstrap.min.js doesn't load and their …

Judging from http://hillbrad.typepad.com/blog/2014/02/trusted-proxies-and... it looks like opportunistic encryption is not meant to convey security, but rather add obscurity to in-…

Crazy, we're used to probation periods here with a short notice time, that protects both sides. I assume you have to negotiate any notice period for being fired, or do you simply g…

Don't stop, thanks to the two public programs you've run so far I've: * Got into Ruby and Go (trying to get a feel for what language felt most comfortable for bit manip.) * Got int…

What kind of experience does the average applicant have? As a 27 year old dev the process you've described sounds as terrifying as it does exciting. For instance on the challenges …

Agreed, unless you have some extremely appealing concept going you're not going to get interest with below-market salary offers even with average equity offering. I'd put it more b…

If you need to ask why it is bad to route traffic through an untrusted third party over HTTP, for the love of god stop building web applications. This is not the right tool for the…

I used to think I was ok at it but then: * I've never beaten my dad in a game in 20 years * I took up the offer from a guy in a NY park and got my ass royally whooped (not to menti…

The previous reply wasn't to hack on your comment, just wanted to make that clear. It seems to me a lot of people want totally secure email... in a pretty box handed to them. I don…

Or, you're going to use something rock solid to encrypt your message and use some sensible approach to obscure your signals. Not an expert here, but if you don't want to give out s…

> no system can ever be secure as long as the host has some way of intercepting messages. Erm, that's only the case for systems that use cleartext in transit. If you encrypt and de…

Can I call nonsense on that? Nothing prevents you from encrypting your actual message and there are plenty of options available to secure transit. The reason such a platform may no…

Not having had a need for this kind of secure email I didn't hear much of Lavabit until it went under. That being said, didn't it raise alarm bells with any of its users when the s…

So the moral is: tailor your CV to the type of corporation you're applying to?

Agreed on giving them a break in the end. I do tell them straight on that fluffing skills isn't a good idea as it sends the wrong message. We do have a technical component and grou…

That followed up from asking if they knew what Bash was. Is it wrong to expect them to know it's the shell and it's generally the default? I suppose my post must make me come acros…

Perhaps I get more cynical as I get older, but I get really annoyed when applicants put 'fluff' on their CV. I've recently been interviewing for low to mid level IT jobs. To give a…

Is the extra portability worth it with the Air? I still have a chunky 15" MBP with 16GB RAM (despite supposedly being limited to 8) but it's relatively heavy in the backpack.
