I haven't been laid off since April. I haven't had a job since then though, so that's not exactly ideal.

Precedent.

The place that truncates passwords is probably not the place to look for best practices when it comes to security. :-)

To save a few megabytes of text in a database somewhere. Likely the same database that gets hacked.

Seems like you might have fed it the phrase "rats fleeing a sinking ship" to steer its output in a specific direction.

Oh cool! The first one was truly incredible. Looking forward to playing again. The scenery looks just as stunning as GoT.

Cory Doctorow came to the office I worked for Amazon in, to give a talk at Goodreads (we shared an office). I always thought it was ironic. I got him to autograph my Kindle, and he wrote "if you can't open it you don't own it" on it, so it's definitely not lost on him.

I use it as a time-saving device. The hardest part is spotting when it's not actually saving you time, but costing you time in back-and-forth over some little bug. I'm often better off fixing it myself when it gets stuck.

I find it's just like having another developer to bounce ideas off. I don't want it to produce 10k lines of code at a time, I want it to be digestible so I can tell if it's correct.

And where were the pagers when they exploded?

Where were the explosives then? One central place?

In this instance I'll blame whoever planted a couple of thousand explosives on people all over the place and detonated them simultaneously without caring who was nearby.

Imagine one of them was on a plane carrying your mother, or one was dropping off their kid at the school your kid goes to, or at the supermarket with you behind them in line.
