1) You assume I'm independent instead of working for a consulting firm. 2) You assume that I have no knowledge of project management even though my previous gig was as an employee of a company that followed project management processes. 2a) You also assume that the employed project management processes are optimal. Usually they are not because the money people hamstring any attempt at doing any sort of true agile process. 3) You assume that meetings are the only way to convey requirements instead of working closely with the subject matter experts in a more collaborative manner.
Yeah, even reading the PDF (http://www.bromium.com/sites/default/files/bromium-h1-2014-threat_report.pdf/) didn't show any sort of "AAAAAHHHHH!!!! The world is ending!" type of numbers. They show IE decreasing the patch time since 2007. There are charts showing that Zero days are decreasing. The Appendix shows 3 more entries in the National Vulnerability Database. Reporting statistics in percentages without referring to what the percentage is based on is just clickbait.
All software has holes. Larger use base makes for a bigger target. Blah blah blah. These stories aren't going to chance what people use because the common person isn't reading them.

I finally got to code when I switched from being an employee to being a consultant. My bill rate is high enough that they would rather me work than to get bogged down in meetings. Not saying it will work for everyone, but it worked for me. I've done more REAL work in the past two or three years than I did in the previous 10.
It looks like the Level 3 post has been pulled. It goes to their 404 page which has a link to recent posts which lists the very post linked in the article.....and the recent post link ALSO takes you to a 404.
We haven't tried checking out books form the lending library to multiple devices, but my wife and I regularly have the same books on both of our Kindles they we've bought or were free (logged in as the same shared account w/ Prime).
I'm assuming that it will be the same books that are in the Kindle lending library. It's a feature of Amazon Prime where you can check out 1 book at a time (and only one new book per month). It's limited as it currently exists, but I assume when this feature hits, your Prime account will let you have one book out at a time with more than one swap per month.
Yep. This has been my strategy for many years. I rank sites by how much I care whether they are compromised. For low ranked sites, they get one of several easy passwords (depending on how important THEY think their passwords are). For critical sites (i.e. banking info) they get a unique strong password conforming to the password rules.
You laugh, but Javascript has the lowest barrier to entry of any language. It's already included on pretty much every computer built in the past 10 years (in your browser). And most modern browsers have better debugging tools than many other languages include. It's easy to find documentation and tutorials on the web (albeit, it is hard to find the answers that follow the best practices).
I'd agree for the most part. There are a lot of pretty cool front-end things going on and with Node makes your front-end and back-end language cohesive. Sure, there are plenty of other options, but there is something to be said for having guys who can transition from front to back or back to front.
The way I read it, the speed of light (in a vacuum) isn't changed by this article.....just the expected speed of photons through a gravitational field of large enough mass and enough distance.
That would have been an AWESEOME tricycle when I was a kid......I'd have been the envy of my whole neighborhood (and probably some nearby neighborhoods, too).
Single account to rule them all......the best approach is the separation of concerns (user management, server management, backup / restore, etc.) so that it is a lot harder to compromise everything.
I would presume "real" ones. There apparently is still such a huge need for software engineers that they keep bringing in H1-B candidates. If a software engineer is unemplo.....errrr working at Starbucks, they aren't trying. Even if they took a pay cut from normal software engineer wages, it's bound to be more than Starbucks barristas make.
Is that more or less prestigious than a BA in art history or music theory or some such? I mean, sure, it has Science in it's name, but you might be better off with an Bachelors of Espresso Engineering. I hear Engineers make a lot of money.
Not really. Its for wrapping Web apps in a container for a specific platform (in other words running "natively" outside of a browser -- technically, it's a customized browser wrapper around resources that are compiled into your code, not downloaded --- at least if you want to pass iOS certification).
That being said, the HTML application cache allows you to download a web app and store it for offline use. (http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/appcache/beginner/). You can hit a URL that uses the app cache, download the code, and then go into airplane mode and hit the same URL. The app will still work. (Obviously all data must be cached locally as well, since Web Services aren't available in airplane mode.)
I've used the HTML5 application cache to store a web app (HTML + Javascript) and run it offline ((http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/appcache/beginner/). It works well enough if your app is small enough. This includes using libraries such as jQuery for nice animations, etc. "Deployment" is easy because it will check for updates every time the user is online, so you just push the web code like normal and the user will be able to run the updated app offline.

And yet again, the Internet has lived up to my expectations.
I'm just ready for the Higgs anti-boson diet pill......

Do you have a Prime account? http://www.amazon.com/gp/featu...
The most annoying part about the Lending Library is that you can only swap out books once per month.

Politicians, too......

That was my thought. I'm too busy writing real code (and posting on Slashdot) to be on their list.
But it only works if you participate.......which might explain Slashdot.

Not the same as FPS, but try Professional Football Simulator. http://www.barcodegames.com/

I'd love a high-speed camera that is cheap so that I can analyze my bowling swing. Sure, I don't *need* 700fps, but this isn't always about *need*.

I thought Greed was getting kickbacks from the lobbying groups to buy your support for questionable bills.
