Those are very high end ones I'd expect to see on commercial installations or homes of the ultra rich. Most landlords in my part of the US use the cheap regular off-the-shelf locks, where you can copy the key for a…
Me neither. I've never understood why it isn't illegal.
I wish I could work 12 hour days. :P
Did it ever mean something else? :P
This would be the ideal, but in practice (at least where I work) it would lead to empty offices all the time, since everyone would be constantly getting their regular 9-5 time "comped" dealing with whatever fires come…
Do you have any citations/references to support this? All of my jobs have been as the GP describes, where managers see after-hours problems as the dev's responsible for the relevant feature's "fault", and expect them to…
Interesting. At my shop we're all on call 24/7 for our features, but we aren't compensated extra at all.
Since the recession, the US' food insecurity numbers still haven't recovered to their pre-recession values. A disturbingly non-zero number of families have no idea when their next meal will be or where it is coming from.

For a good ten years or so, I thought Turkish Delight was a fictitious candy brand C.S. Lewis made up for the Narnia books.
This is why your SSH key has no business being in the filesystem and should instead be on a hardware token where all the crypto/signing operations happen on the HW token's chip.
Honestly what I'm thinking.

> What issues do they cause? Really? Biggest one by far is the super-ambiguous "boot failed" with nothing else while trying to get back into windows after turning off Fastboot (see step 7 in my other post). Once you've…
There's garnishment limits. Since they have to leave you with at least 30 hours worth of minimum-wage earnings per week, a lot of people who can't afford their loans are effectively un-garnishable.
Doesn't matter to the lenders, they've already written off the loan and reassigned it to government student loan debt collection at SLM. This licensing thing is something the government can do when the loan gets…
Can't really speak as to issues with single-OS installs. Those usually go alright. The problems I always run into arise when you try to go and install another OS alongside what you've already got (usually Windows, but I…
It works fine except when it doesn't, which is most of the time (either secureboot, or the EFI boot manager, or the Windows 8+ "fast startup" thing that can turn itself on during an update and sets the EFI next-boot…
As a millenial, this is pretty much how I'm trying to live my life, just with a "I'm good" point at 35 instead of 45. By that age I hope to have a trailer and enough land for subsistence farming all paid off. Then any…
I'm 'only' 28 and I worry constantly about this as 30 gets closer and closer. When you're the oldest developer you have to work much harder to justify still being employed, but not so hard that they start to worry about…
Most of the people I know in tech feel like they're aging out of the market. Small web/marketing agencies--the only development jobs available around here--want fresh grads for junior positions. Most of the time those…
Same. 'Going out' is just stressful and/or depressing.
This doesn't work for everyone. Some people are just not good at being deceptive like that. I have strong social anxiety that is at its worst in interview situations. When I try to 'edit' my answers to questions like…

This is fascinating to see. I'm only two years away from the cliff (30), so every day I worry if the development job I have now will be my last. I'm a hard, dedicated, loyal worker who has never left a company, only…
