robotfactory··on An open source re-implementation of RollerCoaster Tycoon 2
I didn't laugh until I looked at the diff in the commit. Then I couldn't stop laughing.
robotfactory··on Steve Wozniak announces tech education platform Woz U
I can't imagine a guy like The Woz allowing his name to be associated with something sub-par which he has no control over. He understands the importance and weight of his personal brand.
robotfactory··on Is there any completely offline, open source finance tracker app?
Somehow the Android version looks far less complicated (and far more polished) than the PC version. Not really what I expect out of most open source ports.
robotfactory··on Ask HN: Would you work for Equifax (or the likes?)
I'm a Security Engineer and there's no way in heck I would work for Equifax for $110k. Not after their disaster.

The problem at a lot of businesses is security has no tangible ROI. You're not going to make a million bucks because you implemented a new SIEM.

The value of security is hidden. It prevents you from having loss. It's hard to quantify the value when your job is, essentially, preventing bad things from happening.

robotfactory··on Ask HN: Are Glassdoor reviews a reliable indicator of a company's culture?
Negative reviews can be removed from Glassdoor if the company works hard enough. I know of a local employer who has tons of terrible feedback on Glassdoor and devoted someone full time for several weeks to comb through the reviews and get the most inflammatory removed.

I would take Glassdoor with a few grains of salt.
