To be clear, the fact that the FBI arrested him probably does mean they have proof that can lead to an indictment.

That's a terrible reason to remove the question. In fact, the ubiquity of version control these days only reinforces the need. Believe me, there are places that don't use VC. You *don't* want to work at those places given the choice. Don't just assume that because something is an easy best practice that it means everyone's doing the right thing.
> When asked about the noise issues of open offices, the usual response is to just wear headphones. With noise cancelling technology, this is a reasonable fix in most cases, and the one I use often when I’m in a shared office.
Unless you focus better when it's *quiet*, and *not* just when you can't hear talking. Other people find headphones (even some of the best ones) uncomfortable for long periods of time. Shared/enclosed working spaces for small teams are a reasonable trade-off in this regard. It allows for easy access to the people with whom you need frequent direct contact and still is much quieter than low-wall semi-open layouts.
> As we have seen before though, [writing code during interviews] is so ubiquitous that I don’t think it’s worth including any longer.

null | thatmorrowguy | null | Sure, Kali Linux has about 10 different tools for various flavors of DoS attacks that are used by pen testers every day. You can probably find another dozen without even trying very hard on Github. There's a whole industry of people building really good tools for pen tests, vulnerability assessments, and code audits - many of which are used by law enforcement and intelligence agencies. That there are legitimate uses for hacking tools was never in question, and remote access utilities are an everyday fact of life for IT departments everywhere. However, a desktop support person trying to provide remote support to a user isn't going to be the same person looking for the ability to perform a security audit on that machine at the same time. | null | 0 | 1491399084 | False | 0 | dfv0cxi | t3_63jq8w | null | null | t1_dfuyq9w | null | 1493815355 | 48 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | mirvnillith | null | I think the merge of tester and coder into developer is a bad thing. The "safety net" making coders sloppy isn't really a valid argument in a team. The tasks done are the team's and eveybody suffers from bad code (and if you don't call that out, the code itself us not your biggest issue). A team benefits greatly from a tester's skill/mind set and should be used up front (i.e. design with your tester for early input on testability and for test cases/plans being written next to the code). Coders can also test, but actual testers really bring value to the feedback loop (assuming they are in the team). | null | 0 | 1491399123 | False | 0 | dfv0dxw | t3_63l7iv | null | null | t3_63l7iv | null | 1493815368 | 31 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | mirhagk | null | The problem is that there are many different things a readonly keyword could mean, especially when it's a reference. It could mean the reference itself can't be changed or it could mean that the value that the reference points to can't be changed.
It's even more complicated when you introduce a collection. It could mean the reference to the collection can't be changed, or the collection itself can't be changed, or the items can't be changed.

Sorry for the weird linking, my brain is kinda scrambled now sooo I was confused. Though I think I understand now, because when the second store is set, the first's set low is set to high too, which means the first returns to low, and the second returns to low too, which makes the first's set-low high again, etc... Kinda an infinite loop, now I just gotta figure out how to fix it. I'm confused :/

null | rawb0t | null | This I can agree with. I think he gained some useful knowledge and experience from creating his malware and I think if they give him a few months and maybe probation, that he won't do it again.

That said, I don't think they'll slap him with 10-20 years, either. Look at Blackshades. I think the author of that got hit with 5 years, and he was actively evading LEA in Moldova.

First of all you don't use http.Client, a client for a rest api should take RoundTripper as parameter.
Don't repeat yourself and write a prepareRequest method where you set stuff like authentication header.
Using this:
fmt.Sprintf(baseURL+"/%s/todos/%d", s.Username, id)
is also super awful because baseURL may contain pattern and you search for it like ages why the url fucked up. Atleast in general It's really bad habits doing this even If you know the contents of baseURL.
Returning fmt.Errorf for an unexpected status code and handling content before checking the status code is already really bad. Esspecially with apis you want context what went wrong.
Also you missed some fmt.Println in AddTodo, use a logging library instead and disable/enable logging when you want to see what goes wrong. | null | 0 | 1491400174 | False | 0 | dfv16w1 | t3_63kqtu | null | null | t3_63kqtu | null | 1493815756 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

null | aaeme | null | The MS keylogger will presumably be storing/caching the data it collects on your computer to send elsewhere (and knowing MS it probably doesn't purge its local copy ever). The problem is that the data exists at all and that's all a hacker needs to get. Without MS's keylogger the hacker would need to install their own keylogger, avoid antivirus measures, wait for it to collect data and get at that data. Now, all the hacker needs to do is get at the data that MS has kindly collected for them.
Someone being able to hack into the computer in the first place to get at the data is, as you say, a sign of a deeper problem (as would be someone being able to intercept/snoop on MS's keylogger sending the data) but, nevertheless, it is a goldmine of information on one convenient place (or stream) that would have to be gathered in a far more laborious fashion if it weren't for MS doing the hard work for them. That deeper problem of being vulnerable to hacks/snooping is far more of a hazard to you if you have MS's keylogger running. | null | 1 | 1491400409 | False | 0 | dfv1dj1 | t3_63jq8w | null | null | t1_dfuz03t | null | 1493815846 | 1 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
