May 13	comment	Why are there so few female programmers? @nick: there is probably some amount of nurture involved but there is enough credible evidence to suggest strongly that nature is highly governing. There was the one case of a boy, David Reimer, whose penis was destroyed in a botched circumcision. He was medically reassigned as a female, and his parents tried their darndest to raise him as a girl, but he never actually self-identified as female. Other cases exist. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Reimer

Jan 6	comment	How do I convince my boss that it's OK to use an application to access an outside website? Of the two methods on the page of getting data, one for a list of recent changes, and the other for a complete current list, I had two different routines, using a POST and a GET.

Jan 6	comment	How do I convince my boss that it's OK to use an application to access an outside website? You make a good point, but as it turns out the boss is a developer and knows exactly what it means to access a website automatically. It's not the technical, but the ethical he's concerned with.

Jan 6	comment	How do I convince my boss that it's OK to use an application to access an outside website? Thanks for that. They don't appear to provide bank routing numbers here, but it does provide ammunition that they have no problem with automated access in principle.
Jan 6	comment	How do I convince my boss that it's OK to use an application to access an outside website? Oh, he's a developer -- and pretty darned good at it -- but he has an overdeveloped sense of ethics. I tried to tell him that every search engine on the planet was hitting on the FED's site every day and nobody's suing them, but to no avail.
Jan 6	comment	How do I convince my boss that it's OK to use an application to access an outside website? Nice, but where do you see this web service? Looking at the website in question (fededirectory.frb.org), I don't see one. There's a link to "Download E-Payments Routing Directories", but this is not a web service -- in fact, this is the link he wants to use to get the data.
