Don't be so sure of that. If your PIN just happens to start with 00, it is fairly trivial to jury-rig a common 4-digit hacking device to crack your 6-digit PIN.

To add insult to injury, writing a press release like this (even including a screenshot with the very latest stuff) can feel just as good as actually shipping. At this point, eclip…

Are you sure? 500K GBP would be 700K USD. See https://www.levels.fyi/comp.html?track=Software%20Engineer&r...

Thank you very much for both your comment and link. This cleared things up for me. It feels like an obvious oversight that there is not some company-wide Wiki to organize all of th…

I was always interested in this but could not yet find deep resources on it. Sadly the post skips over the format of these docs - is there a good resource for examples/templates of…

From your sources [1]: > COO, Scott Gelb [...], as a comedy bit, [...] has repeatedly touched subordinates’ balls or butt or farted in their faces. [...] his punishment—two months …

I would assume this falls under Severability [1]. In most cases, the button you click on literally says "I accept", which the corporate lawyer would interpret in a similar way to s…

Culture is what is there when you subtract work and manager. Defining a "good" culture depends on your personal work style, role, experience and general life priorities. Interviews…

I'd love to learn more about their canary rollouts. Is there any more info from either them or similar large sites about this? For example, what usually has to happen for a dev to …

Having recently had a child, I learned about APGAR and marveled how the emotional "is my baby ok" was put into a super easy process. The chart from the article can be followed by a…

Both are valid. It depends on the footprint, type of SaaS (e.g. running complex offline-processing vs running heavily customized web-shops), your PII regulations and your ideal cus…

Can you comment on the kind of engineers that were interested in getting a job this way? Did you hire/interview any of them?

Not nitpicky at all - this is an important distinction to highlight for pointy-haired decision makers. This product is undoubtedly the P in PaaS, but there is no service behind it.…

Thanks for sharing. So no library for styling forms? Is all that styled by hand? The site looks great.

Saved real estate cost for one less desk at the office, productivity gains [1]. That said, companies that are fully remote (e.g. Gitlab [2]) tend to actually adjust your wage for h…

Mesh networking is cool, but it doesn't scale without at least some cable connected nodes routing the traffic. And those will be impacted by network neutrality. On an unrelated not…

Impressively, it also works for languages other than English (albeit having trouble with formatting here and there). Is there a behind-the-scenes somewhere? Is this regex magic alo…

I was a little surprised at the headline, since I expected 'outperforms' to mean that it had better end-results, which is of course not the case. GP is just much faster due to it's…

I'm not doubting in any way that someone hacked your PC, but just in case you are currently suffering from CO poisoning [1], please try to take a day off and go outside for a walk.…

Apparently, being a platinum member entails donating $500k [1], so it's not that big a deal for Microsoft ($85B revenue[2]). And as the article states, there has been negativity in…

Yes, if proven. If someone promises 1000 clicks for your dollar and delivers only 999, they are at fault, have not fulfilled the contract and either you should be reimbursed or the…

The code is very readable! Especially because it's not using a lot of external libraries. Including the twitter bot is a very nice touch. Awesome! One of the key features of golang…
