It's that time of year again. Apple's next iPhone event will take place on September 9th at 10AM PT, live at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco. This is expected to be the unveiling of the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus, which are reported to have animated wallpapers, 4K video capabilities, upgraded 12-megapixel cameras and front-facing flash, among other new features. We may even see something about force-touch iPhones. Let me guess, it will be the same phone with slightly different features...or it will be the iPhone 7, which in that case it will be the same phone only slightly bigger.

Google is taking its recruiting efforts to its search engine, looking for programmers who search for particular programming terms. When Max Rosett, an aspiring computer engineer, took to Google search to get help on his project, he found himself on the other side of a two-sided mirror being cross-examined by Google without even knowing it. If only it was always this easy. What if I Google "Hey, give me a job!"

They obviously hired Leslie[^] as well.

Funding for development work on the Eclipse IDE and other projects will come from individuals and corporate users. So, how much do you want that bug fixed?
|
|
|
|
|
In my opinion, they deserve the donation. Eclipse is a great IDE, for Java and C/C++ programmers. Next time I active eCommerce for my debit card, I will give them what I can.

While most hackathons and programming contests encourage participants to develop usable software, a contest hosted by Binghamton University's Scott Craver asks users to develop code that is "subtly evil." "Look into my face and know, to look into my face is to look into the face..of EVIL!"
|
|
|
|
|
It should be a warning in a compiler: Warning #666: Evil code
|
|
|
|
|
# define EVIL 0
Now I've lost interest. I'll leave the rest as an exercise.

There’s a secret way to land a job at Google that’s actually much more interesting than the usual approach. Do you feel lucky?

Just 1 percent of employees are responsible for 75 percent of cloud-related enterprise security risks. Or as they're usually referred to: management
|
|
|
|
|
Management typically comprise 75% of the workforce of most companies, with the remaining 35% being accountants.
(Actually - the 1% who really are the risk are the DBAs...they know where the audit trails are)

Yeah! Management! But they're responsible for so much more than just "cloud" elephant-ups.

Agile software development history doesn't begin with the Agile Manifesto—its roots go back much earlier. In the beginning, there was waterfall, and it was good. No wait, bad. Sorry, really bad. Honest.

Kent Sharkey wrote: In the beginning, there was waterfall
No there wasn't; that came along later, due, no doubt, to the perception of havok among early developers who were gettin' it done.
Do you think Kernighan and Ritchey used freakin' Waterfall? Grace Hooper et al? I think not.
These early developers coded by the seat of the pants, or skirt as the case may be. They were agile before it was cool.
Agile is developers taking back their freedom after decades in the harness of Waterfall.

Last month, I wrote a blog post detailing our plans for Unity on Linux. Well, I’m back again to tell you the big day has come; today we’re releasing an experimental build of Unity for Linux! For all those Linux games
|

|
|
It might actually be something if that game system that Steam created gets somewhere...the OS is Linux based, I believe.
