I asked because I've heard more than once that a company either stretched the truth or outright lied on these questionnaires. So stretching the truth could be: Do you adhere to NIS…

Are there any legal issues if one were to be untruthful/lie on security questionnaires?

I certainly was not trying to argue that. And I said it was my own experience (serendipity). I also agree with what you're saying.

I could certainly see that happening. But I would lump them in with being educated. Since they most likely did do a 9-5 4-5 days per week bootcamp (assuming). I've encountered peop…

anecdotal disclaimer -- I think I've worked with more brilliant people with no degrees or uncompleted education. They just had more drive and do not let anything hold them back. Th…

Great post! I have yet to try Linux on the Go. So thank you for sharing. I'm also a huge fan of the Go.

Since you posted this exact statement a dozen times. Could you answer, What exactly is the benefit for white people to be racist to black and brown people?

This was great, bravo! While I am not necessarily the audience intended. I've been following some Notebook development. I have always thought of it as convoluted and pedantic. I do…

Looks like all the enterprise Linux distros to me? I wouldn't qualify Arch for that purpose.

Please stop repeating this. Its just not completely accurate. I keep hearing it from people. First asbestos has been in use for a long time. Still to this day before anything to do…

I certainly get it. Zsh and the like offer some really nice functionality missing from standard bash. However that muscle memory is lost. Zsh etc. certainly cool for your own tinke…

I'll except that statement in the sense that it reduces Aikido down to interpretive dance and not (applicable) combat practices.

Aikido is that fantasy martial arts. The kind that only works when the opponents are in on the ruse. Blockchain is like the Aikido of technology.

There is a security issue with using AD/OpenLDAP. That being passwords. An example is you can debug/trace the SSH process and see(log) passwords in clear text. Now of course this i…

Can you post an example of this? Link works too.

I don't disagree with the philosophical purpose. Of course by simplifying the facts. You're leaving out the logistics of insurance companies that have to now take that responsibili…

You have the wrong idea. A better example of what you're calling "free market" would be dentistry or something like Lasik surgery. You can shop around and figure out the prices bec…

+1 Throw all other rational out the window if OPEX is what works. So here we are migrating to AWS..

Programming can be creative but it is not performance art. I'm not sure what you were expecting? Even if you found something (subjective) it may not be very functional. Completely …

I don't mean zero-sum. I mean another means. One which requires more on the job training and working your way up the ladder. If you want to go because you have the resources and fo…

I know there is work for people like yourself to be found. Having an unrelated degree but being capable of working in tech. However there are quite a lot of really good companies t…

Who said stop letting them go?

I can tell you this. We (the company I work for) would not hire you as a programmer. Without a CS degree. Now I'm assuming you did not go back to get a CS degree. If not you have n…

At what cost? $100k in debt and delayed start at life? Again if all things are equal. Uni is free, sure why not. This argument is invalid too. We can say most that go to college ar…

So either you're not from the States or you were well funded in your own educational pursuits. Both are fine this, is not a personal attack. It is not hard to find evidence that Am…
