Or buy a satnav. I'm the first to admit that a properly qualified London cabbie will do better than a satnav. They will be able to tell you things like - "it's one way, I can drop you off at the corner here and it's two minutes walk down there, or in this traffic I can drop you off at the door in ten minutes". The thing is that a satnav is 95% as good with a lot less investment, meaning much cheaper prices from a larger pool of drivers
A business rule that had been modified a number of times by requests from the business;
And right there is where you are misunderstanding this. Not only was the rule changed a number of times, but the programmer was almost certainly asked to implement the change on the fly ("We need this new rule in place by Monday."). Further they were almost certainly never given the time to go back and fix the kludge they had created to get it out the door ("Why are you working on that? It works. We have this other project that we need finished. Work on it. You can go back to that later.")
And, BTW, needing the new rule in place by Monday was often a real requirement, failing to meet that deadline might cost the company significant fractions of their yearly revenue.
Really, how much longer would it take to write it out in boolean algebra and simplify it? Ten minutes perhaps. If you don't what are the chances that your change won't apply in all circumstances that it should and none that it shouldn't? You could easily spend longer if it fails tests. If you are suggesting that applying a change to an expression that you don't understand is the best approach to editing a business rule that could cost the company a significant portion of their revenue then maybe you should have gone to college.
A degree guarantees a broad understanding of computing related issues. Of course some people without a degree may have this, but these are a few of the things I have seen:
A business rule that had been modified a number of times by requests from the business; "do X when Y", "do X when Z but not A", "Assume A is false when not Y", and so on for many years. The result was a huge condition with brackets that could not easily be understood. Writing it as a boolean expression and simplifying it revealed that several of the variables in the conditions were not relevant (it did the same thing when they were true or false), much of the complexity was because some test was being applied in multiple conditions and the whole lot simplified down to a short clear expression.
A coder had produced a phenomenal amount of code, counted by lines. In peer review it turned out he didn't understand how to call library classes, and copied the library code into every module which used it
A coder defined a macro defining the boolean "or" "|" as "and"! It turned out that he was totally confused by an expression opening a file as F_READ | F_WRITE, and thought that the compiler writers and everyone else in history had got "or" and "and" the wrong way round.
A definition which was obviously a finite state machine written as spaghetti code, where all that was needed was a table of state, event, action, new-state
This is a legend in our company. An Array copy function defined, despite one being available as
# This function only works on arrays up to size of three elements
A[0] = B[0]
if (B.size > 1)
A[1] = B[1]
if (B.size > 2)
A[2] = B[2]
if (B.size > 3)
A[3] = B[3]
And yes, the language had loops and a built-in array copy function.
When called on their own pay gap, they explained that it was due to gender differences in the types of jobs preferred? Well, that's the gender pay gap in a nutshell.
No, not unless the company is doing something to discourage women from this role. You can't say "I want to be paid the same as a top engineer, but I don't like the sound of that job so I'd like to do something of my choosing instead". Gender pay gap comes down to either barriers or discouragement tom people entering high-paid roles based on gender, or people performing identical roles just as well but with pay differences based on gender
to reach common system settings, tasks and applications? it's so fucking non-productive and counter-intuitive, having to type that shit out just to find the shit, when the old click-click-done worked so well before.
I may have this wrong but I believe that extradition by the USA has been requested because they won't try him in the UK, and if he were tried in the UK he could not be tried for the same offense in the US
Yes this is right:
Reasons for refusing an extradition request, bars to extradition, are set out in both Parts1 and 2 of the Act, and also within multi and bilateral extradition instruments, and include the following (this list is not exhaustive):
'Double jeopardy'; a person must not be prosecuted or sentenced in respect of an offence that he has already been convicted or acquitted of.

If the complete kernel configuration can be read, does this mean malware authors like NSA, CIA, criminals etc. will have an easier time getting inside your phone?
Obviously.
That's why I always use a Chinese android phone..... oh wait!
This was my thought. Didn't they have any options to take out the garbage?
They could have continued the case, but I suppose with there is always a chance that it will be held in some red-neck court house and that they could lose. From their point of view I can see why they took the money and left

That makes me wonder ... maybe they didn't cheat at all but just say they did as it gives them "street cred"

That you can't use the word "mandate" because it has the word "man" in it and that's a micro-aggression towards women in tech.
And "date" because its meaning either has sexual connotations or is ageist.
