From the article "Experienced COBOL programmers can earn more than $100 an hour"

In Australia that's a lot, but my understanding is that it's common for American developers to be on way more than this...

I agree, but replace hearts with wallets ;)

I don't think the average Australian cares, at least not enough for it to influence the way they act/vote.

Of course if you ask anyone on the street if they are in favor of protecting the reef they'd say yes, but when they see the price tag they would probably lose interest.

Nah, but a developer who can sell is usually a better proposition than who cannot.

Probably related to the second exploit which used apply.

That's how those bug finders fees work, I'm not sure if introducing money into something ever makes it more ethical though

Yep, international money in the housing market is forgivable, but there is no way they should have allowed such massive investments in the new coal mines.

It is a bubble as it only continues for as long as the government allows - eventually the house owning majority will die, the next generation will be jaded and demand stricter controls. I guess that's what the locals have over the rich internationals, a vote.

I can see how load/fault data would be valuable to the manufacturer, but to a consumer...?

Not sure about those particular schools, but my experience of CS is that it is completely separate from the going ons of the commercial market.

I believe most schools stick with traditional tools for educating, using Haskell and C for projects, although some are moving towards python.

I'd be surprised if any of them teach any javascript whatsoever unless you took a course specifically on that topic.

Too many bucks to pass, the court cases would never end.

I guess that would count as virtual antiquing?

If you're displaying user input you could just encode to their matching HTML entities...

{ or the human friendlier one &rcurb (?)

It's not a trivial problem, I'd be more worried about users uploading illegal content maliciously. Would definitely require a moderation team depending on the site size...

>Chrome will mark HTTP pages that collect passwords or credit cards as non-secure

Will probably get hated on, but you should shell out for your own domain if you're collecting this info - there are quite a few BYO domain, free hosts.

I don't think many are using it now, but with the out-of-the-box Docker web app projects coming in VS2017 I bet that number will go up. It's a much better proposition than WebDeploy.

Probably, a big factor could be the anticheat stuff - without the steam client inspecting game state, Microsoft store players could get away with aim bots or other exploits

You have direct access to a much smaller market, there are only just over 20 million people here.

It was probably just a CDMA phone - they don't have SIM cards are were actually quite common a while ago.

> Hash tables are not O(1) lookup

In terms of algorithmic time complexity, it is O(1)

Useful for developers targeting organisations on Microsoft stacks

At first I agreed, but then, can you think of a better (more important?) medium?

Yeah wow I was an order of magnitude off... I can't wrap my head around how this is good business but I'm sure someone knows what they're doing.

We're trying to integrate with some of the Autonomy stuff at the moment, talking to HP you realize they know about as much as we do about the products - I assume they got the products, but forgot to hire the developers who created them?

Wasn't it over $1 billion for Autonomy?

A good craftsman never has to, because he has the right tools ;)

Exactly, all these things are tools of the trade - tradesmen spend money on the right tools for the job because that (and experience) is what separates them from the DIY-ers

I used to do this using http://symless.com/synergy/

Cool that it's now built in to windows!

Yep saying transpiler is just being more specific, like saying car instead of automobile - although it is probably superfluous when including the names of both input and output languages.

You said "Getting a job is simply not what a CS degree is for" and then said "Just know that it's not only for a job"

I think Vagrant would be a good replacement for you, it's basically docker but built exactly for reproducible dev environments
