When you're stuck 40,000 feet in the air for 16hrs you watch anything. And I mean anything[^].

Ouch. You so have my sympathy.

I liked that film. It meant that the family and I had a theatre pretty much entirely to ourselves while others were next door wasting their money on that one.

I remember flying to India before the era of personal entertainment sytem, they had the same movie twice.
I'd rather be phishing!

Cpplinq is an excellent open-source project that uses C++11 features to provide extensible LINQ-like list manipulation to C++. "And what will become of us if a weapon, such as I now have, falls into the wrong hands?"

Approval rating plunge of 20 points caused by layoffs and 'karma' comment. Are they going to vote him off the island then?

I think they should. Yes it was one comment, and yes he apologized...but let's face it no one believe the apology. He said what he thought (without really thinking it). Organization with so much female in an industry that as it is hard on woman should not have someone like that heading it.

Non-HTTPS pages provide no data security and the user should be reminded of that, argues the company. It's a big step. Time to invest in certificate companies

Everyone knows the story of how the world wide web made the internet accessible for everyone, but a lesser known story of the internet’s evolution is how automated code—aka bots—came to quietly take it over. So maybe now you'll be nicer to us

Microsoft’s decision to bundle Internet Explorer with Windows has led to a number of headaches for the company over the years. In particular, an EU ruling has forced it to provide a browser ballot screen for European copies of Windows Oh noes! Now how will I know how to download a new browser?

Analysis of a malware sample matching the MD5 hash signature of the “Destover” malware that was used in the attack on Sony Pictures by researchers at Cisco revealed that the code was full of bugs, and anything but sophisticated. It was the software equivalent of a crude pipe bomb.
Looks like North Korea was involved after all

Lessons to learn from Oculus development team when using the “Modern C++” approach. As opposed to your Grandpa's C++

Those are some good lessons, probably can be applied to other languages as well.

The main issue with that, is:
At what point can I justify to the people paying me money that we need to spend time and money to re-factor code to use modern C++ paradigms instead of adding new features and fix issues.

We analyzed the skills and experience data in over 330 million LinkedIn member profiles. If your skills fit one of the categories below, there’s a good chance you either started a new job or garnered the interest of a recruiter in the past year. "Past performance does not necessarily predict future results"

With minor variations, I suspect that list is about the same from year to year.

When you first learn Test Driven Development, it sounds simple and easy. If you learned it in 1999, like I did, the rule was to simply write your unit tests first. Indeed, we called it Test First Design back then. "To everything, there is a season. Turn, turn, turn."

But don’t think your success as an independent contractor will require you to become anything like a used-car salesperson. It’s still your skills at the keyboard that will make all the difference. For rent: 1 coder, low miles, compiles great

Not too sure about that new-coder smell, though.
|
|
|
|
|
Dunno, it's got less of the "gin and stale chips" parfum of the old-coder
