In case it isn't obvious to everyone, the government runs or has tapped most or all TOR exit nodes. This has been going on forever. Nobody knows exactly what the attack is...but if they're willing to drop cases to cover it up, its

It's kinda sad that TCP was chosen so long ago for HTTP that there's effectively no changing it. With modern TLS the underlying data guarantees TCP gives you just aren't that useful. We have kinda a weird situation where we h

I had the same issue with another tool I used called "agent ransack". The solution is simple, offer the same product with a different name to corporate clients. They have a different download called "file locator pro" th

My god it sounds like the philosophical ideals of somebody plucked straight from the Star Trek universe. Are silicon valley billionaires really this detached from reality? The reason globalization is coming to a screeching halt is that huma

There's one BIG problem with LINQ. I'll agree that the syntax is marvelous, a game changer. The problem is performance. It's gotten slightly better over the years but compared to an ORM with less abstraction like Hibernate it

Fair enough, we can disagree cordially on this one. I agree that it shouldn't matter but we disagree that it does. The other names you mentioned have a more silly connotation then bad or gross but I understand your point. I will still

May I suggest renaming the thing already? 90% of the business world can't touch it with a name like that. How about Duradero ... Spanish for durable. The name doesn't seem to be taken by any other database type software

their name is the stupidest startup blunder I've ever seen. Enterprise won't go near it, seriously. I cannot tell a client I'm using a "cockroach" database, no fucking way. If we could go back and rename Windows Hit

This is my issue - I don't know. I assume any time is worth wasting if your developer builds even a small business since the value of anything over 5 employees is likely more than a million. Time management is not my concern at all. If

My employment agreement at last three companies says they own any intellectual property I create on or off business hours with or without using company equipment. Whether or not its related to the current business.

I personally hate node with all of my being, but Go is good stuff and Java has two very solid REST frameworks Jersey and Spring Boot. Depending on the project needs you could use DropWizard or Play which come with a really solid REST API fr

I agree 100%. My last place was a 100% MS shop and while .NET core seems like it will be great we ran into endless problems, specifically with compatibility and existing libraries. We couldn't get anything more than a toy project to wo

it's not like emergency services will have any trouble getting into locked rooms. This was a giant inconvenience rather than any real danger.

it's possible and not even bad. Just live in a long stay hotel for a month or two until you find a house. Pay 3-5 k to have all your stuff packed up from old house and dropped at new house. Pay realtor to sell old house. Simple, it cou

Sounds like it to me. Storing a crap ton of 300 byte messages is pretty common. Thousands of companies have been doing it for a decade. Anyone that does analytics or email probably stores far more of these than twitter. Blob store is perhap

Most, not all, but most of the good developers I've known learned to code when they were teens. CS skills have been discounted endlessly compared to other engineering professions solely because it doesn't cost anything to learn. O

The author doesn't mention much about how to position yourself to be attractive to your candidates. Here's what I look for - and what I learned when we were hiring people of our own(not a startup but a dev shop of two...now seven)
