    Regardless of what the President says or tweets, in this country we believe in right and wrong, and we believe in the rule of law. Truth is truth, crimes are crimes, and no one is above the law.

    You cannot make insecure software systems more secure by being encouraging and not saying mean things about them. It’s not that kind of insecurity.

    Thales and Gemalto are merging, and Gemalto apparently already bought Safenet. At least one HSM product line will probably be deprecated after the merger. So basically there’s going to be one HSM manufacturer of any scale or significance worldwide.

    Yup, I’m Muriel Bowser, mayor of Washington DC, the local politician who finally got thru to the reality star in the White House with the realities ($21.6M) of parades/events/demonstrations in Trump America (sad).

    The local politicians who run Washington, D.C. (poorly) know a windfall when they see it. When asked to give us a price for holding a great celebratory military parade, they wanted a number so ridiculously high that I cancelled it. Never let someone hold you up! I will instead...

    "Code shaming" is toxic, disgusting, and unacceptable. If you've been coding long enough to point out others' mistakes, you've been doing it long enough to know everyone makes them. Ridicule helps no one. Don't cut people down; help them! Be the teacher you wish you'd had!

    DC, now you see who was telling the truth about the racist marchers being escorted onto Metro and who lied. Wiedefeld lied to riders and public when the truth was more convenient. The fallout of today will be on him.

    Our parents have not failed us, our politicians have. To any parent reading this: save us, vote, work on political campaigns, knock on doors, run for office and be the change because our politicians won't be. Nov 6 is the day we can save our future but only if you choose to.

    Other things eng managers should consider to help keep a finger on the pulse of on call: * be alternate any time someone needs an hour or day or weekend covered * send all paging alerts to their own phone (use DND at night) * take the pager the night after a rough one

    Reading existential philosophy doesn't make your realize that "life is meaningless", it makes you realize that life is too meaningful for you to let it pass you by, like a movie, with you as nothing but a passive observer.

    This is so so true. I feel that this is why remote work WORKS for . We hire people that exhibit these traits. A group of people that sit together means nothing.
