The Pwn2Own 2017 hacking contest, which celebrated its 10th anniversary, concluded after three days in which security teams hacked away at browsers and operating systems. Microsoft’s Edge seems to have been hit the hardest, while Chrome remained unhackable during the contest. On the bright side, hackers don't go after unused products

What's to complain about?
It's still the safest ms browser ever!

Oh come on, there are literally dozens of Edge users.

Rust, Go, and PowerShell are also gathering steam in the analyst firm's biannual language rankings For those who only code in popular languages
Yeah, I promised myself I wouldn't use these any more, but it's a slow news day. And some people like popularity contests.

Quote: The rankings are based on a recently retweaked formula that assesses code usage in GitHub and language discussions in Stack Overflow. So it's the buggiest, requiring more revisits than any other language, and an awful lot of people on SO bitch about how cr@ppy it is.

#37, "Hard Work Does not Pay Off," caught my eye, immediately: [^]
«When I consider my brief span of life, swallowed up in an eternity before and after, the little space I fill, and even can see, engulfed in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I am ignorant, and which know me not, I am frightened, and am astonished at being here rather than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there, now rather than then.» Blaise Pascal

Their definition of "hard work" appears to be related solely and only to the hours spent in the workplace, which implies that they don't know what hard work is.

You know that your life sucks when there are 97 things everyone in your occupation should know. Not 3, not 5, and not even 10. It just had to be 97.

Last year Bryan Johnson, founder of the online payments company Braintree, starting making news when he threw $100 million behind Kernel, a startup he founded to enhance human intelligence by developing brain implants capable of linking people’s thoughts to computers. Would that be USB, Thunderbolt, or coax?
I know a lot of people are still SCSI

And you're not implanting anything in me ever! - I'll just use a mouse and keyboard thank you.
And Kent, too bad your last name isn't Snarky - you funny man!!

Not sure that's such a grand idea. Do we really want to expose full enormity of people's stupid thoughts?

Have you heard of Russell Brand?
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

How do they plan on handling stupidity then?
Someone's therapist knows all about you!

That could bring a whole new meaning to the term 'IO error'!
(Or GIGO, for that matter.)
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.
While the military are doing their part, it simply isn't enough to make the amount of nukes needed to save those poor stars. - TWI2T3D (Reddit)

An Oregon sportswear company is suing its former IT administrator, alleging he left backdoor accounts on their network and used them more than 700 times to search for information for the benefit of its new employer. Maybe he just thought he still worked there?
Probably wondered where his cheques were

Don’t Repeat Yourself (DRY) is a touchstone principle of software development. It’s often understood to inveigh against duplication of code. This idea brought to you by the Department of Redundancy Department

I don't find his arguments very persuasive.
With regard to NPM, there is the option of installing a package using the -g or global option. This installs the package globally so it is available to other applications.
And why repeat code just because it is POC code? Surely you can remove duplication whilst the code is POC?
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare
