Also you may end up working at a place full of bad eggs. Prospective employees in Europe who have an interest in a productive life also have to vet the company to make sure they select employees caref…

The problem is that we can't trust open source software either. Software being closed source doesn't make it impervious to analysis. Software being open source does not mean it has been anal…

Contrarian view: I love AMP and I find myself clicking AMP links far more often because I can get the information I want much faster. And this is on LTE. AMP should be supported by CDNs and toggleable…

Being from a country that has commercial news (clickbaity, alarmist, etc.) I'm finding it ok to watch the news from European public TV. You get to know what's going on in the world but avoid…

You may be interested in the fantastic Microcorruption CTF, which uses the real-world MSP 430 microcontroller. (Also anyone interested in TIS-100 and Shenzhen I/O should at least take a look) [1]…

Presumably from European governments in the case of Airbus and from the Brazilian government in the case of Embraer. In the late 1990's Embraer and Bombardier sued each other in the WTO which fou…

Criticism to the study goes both ways. It COULD be that with a larger sample size, more meaningful project and more experienced developers the result would be "TDD actively hampers productivity b…

Why is it a given that teachers "must" have low salaries? The sixty classrooms without teachers show otherwise. SF teachers clearly need raises, and those can be funded by taxes from all tho…
