I don't screw around at work but I'd still feel uncomfortable if someone sat next to me and just watched everything I did.

I get the feeling that Xiaomi will suddenly be deemed a risk to national security

Hold up, you fell for the old "HR rep came in person" scam?

Would that be pronounced LiveScript or LiveScript?

Simply, the world is confused about why Java and JavaScript have similar names. Many hiring managers looking for a Java programmer will be given a stack of CVs by a recruiter for people who know JavaScript (although it helps with pruning I suppose), every JavaScript book tells us that JavaScript is not Java.

We should end the confusion and call it something arbitrary like "RustScript", to recognise that it is a robust scripting language.

Maybe, it specifically happens when you click/tap the link so probably would be too late to generate a preview. It's not snooped on when the URL is originally transmitted.

I use it to communicate with a Chinese friend since WhatsApp is blocked. I discovered that if I send them a URL to something on my server and then tail the logs, I see two separate requests from two different IPs, one is my friend and the other is some unknown IP in China.

I never store passwords if I develop a UI. Either I use single-sign on so authentication is handled by someone else. If that's not feasible I just force users to verify their email address if they want to login, typically email address verification takes less than 15 seconds and the user will only need to do this once per device.

I seriously doubt that employers are expecting job applicants to hand over proprietary code from their current employer and even if they were would you really want to work for a company with such dubious ethics? Even if you could do that how would you prove what code you've personally written and which hasn't been improved by someone else, unless you also need to bring along SVN logs...?

Normally when I've seen jobs ask for code samples they're talking about your own personal projects done in your own time which you own the rights to. I suggest start using your free time to create your own open source software for things that you yourself are passionate about, stick it on Github and give prospective employers a link to it. This is a much better way of showing your own capabilities without getting the legal problems.

Am I missing something? This kind of software has existed for years in Google's Play Store and provides nearly instantaneous results instantly after analyzing a picture or a fingerprint.

Actual conversation I had with someone:

Them: Can you google (product name) to see how much it is?
Me: *types product into search bar and presses enter*
Them: No, I mean google it on Amazon

SNP and Lib Dems have already said they're not going to form a coalition government which means the only option left is for Conservative to form a minority government which would effectively means the government loses its authority to pass laws without support from other parties which would be a disaster when managing Brexit given how divided the nation is on the topic.

I don't know why people still go through the pain of storing users' passwords given it has so many problems. Simplest alternative I use is to require users to verify their email address instead of entering a password when they login. Generally a user will have their email open in another tab and they have the link in seconds. Very little effort involved for users or to implement it and you've outsourced the authentication problems to the email provider.
