Ask a group of developers about incorrect hires they've witnessed. The atmosphere will quickly turn into a fireside, war story discussion where developers compare the scars of their unfavorable interactions. Hiring the right programmer for the job can be a daunting task. Why is that? Are there common pitfalls that can be avoided? Let's dig in! Don't forget to kick the tires

It can be just as hard the other way - you go to the interview and there's talk of modern technologies and methodologies. You turn up on day one and get landed with Access VBA maintenance.

Funny. I've never paid for a Mac upgrade.

The massive breach of Adobe’s security uncovered earlier this month is dramatically worse than originally reported. The initial report that hackers had stolen almost 3 million encrypted customer credit card records and an unknown amount of login data finally has a number attached: 38 million. I don't understand: Adobe is so well known for secure software (thanks SDTimes)

The United Nations is planning to set up an International Asteroid Warning Group that'll inform its member nations when asteroids are on collision course with Earth. When a dangerous rock is discovered, the UN's existing Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space will launch a mission to slam the asteroid off its trajectory. "You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder."

Since I can't find this[^] here despite it being in today's newsletter...
I think we now know why Google worked hard on changing reCaptcha[^] so the primary human/not human check is done before it even displays a captcha; giving humans a gimmie and bots a virtually impossible one.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

"A SONG written by a North-east dad who lost his two-year-old daughter following a cancer battle is pushing for a place in the UK top 40.
Jonathan Cordiner, of Oldmeldrum, composed I’ll See Your Face One Day after his daughter Kayleigh died of an incurable brain tumour last year.
And now the melody has reached the 57 position on iTunes chart thanks to a high number of downloads.
Jonathan, 30, from Oldmeldrum, hopes to raise enough funds to support charities Kayleigh’s Wee Stars and CLIC Sargent."

Lately I’ve been focused much more on Web development. Along the way, I’ve discovered a number of utilities that are simply essential to successful coding, depending of course on which frameworks and libraries you are using. Here’s a sampling. Jesse Liberty frees a list

I have no use for any of those.

Then I guess you're not insanely essential?
