Indeed, this one was quite serious. Apparently lot of big names, including sites from Alexa's top 10 were (and some still are) vulnerable.
The situation didn't spare CodeProject - some of our subsystems were vulnerable, but over past few hours we have already upgraded them.
This is still unofficial, as we need to double and triple check all the servers and submodules, but so far all modules which we've reviewed are patched.

Ruh roh Raggy. This bug is actually pretty terrifying.

I hope you find every lingering unpatched version in your systems
But still a pretty scary bug... considering that basically the whole traffic to OpenSSL could have been compromised for years... I guess the NSA and the like were pretty grateful for that bug

One serious consequence is that private keys may have leaked - it is worth considering re-registering for those, as otherwise you're potentially leaving user data exposed.

SIMD is a technology that employs data parallelization at the CPU level. Multi-threading and SIMD complement each other: multi-threading allows parallelizing work over multiple cores while SIMD allows parallelizing work within a single core. SIMD is coming to .NET!

About flipping time! Will look into this stuff later.

Very interesting! It makes no mention of how this ties in with the newly announced native C#. Will this also benefit from SIMD?

It's no longer about cheap, commodity software. According to new research, it's about driving innovation through participation. "Talk is cheap. Show me the code."

'sright there, in github like everything else these days. (Our industry really likes their monopolies).
Just do a pull, download half a dozen dependencies and/or build tools, execute a few score command-lines, et voila! Open-source simplicity.

ugh.
yep.
I've got a marketing guy "If we go with open source, we can customize it ourselves!" who then proceeds to do so.

Kent, lol!
Inspired by your imperative statement, I just asked my iPhone, "Siri, are you as good as Microsoft's Cortana?"
Siri replied, "No comment."
I'm impressed by that answer. Perhaps a smartphone should run for a political office.

I wonder if Siri is trying to take the high road, or they're just trying to write a new zinger?

I can't wait to try it. Amazing.
It's perfect for a project for a person with disability that I had in mind.

With an update expected to launch sometime tomorrow, the Xbox One’s YouTube app will have a new “My Uploads” section that lets you pluck videos from your One and toss them online with just a few button presses. You can trim the clip down or add commentary through the One’s built-in editor, or just toss them in raw. "I like to watch."
But really... why?

Microsoft last week announced it will shift its OData-related development tool efforts from WCF Data Services to ASP.NET Web API, moving WCF Data Services to open source for further development. That angered many frontline developers whose teams or companies have invested a lot of work in WCF Data Services and now feel abandoned. They now have to consider their options and move forward with a new strategy. Sound familiar? More[^]. I suspected before and they are doing it.[^].

I'm not shedding a tear, I always found the .NET 2.0 options like .NET remoting and web services very well put together and easy to use. I've pretty much skipped all of the W*F bloated frameworks, and so far very happy to.

I'm glad you are happy. May be the work you do won't require WCF and related techs so far. If so watch out W*F words from M$. Might be they will be changed to M*F words soon.

I was using a few extensions that are great for any web developer using Visual Studio 2013. I’ve compiled the list of extensions here and added a few additional ones that are really useful as well. "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this"

Today at Microsoft’s Think Next symposium in Tel Aviv, Israeli startup StoreDot has demonstrated the prototype of a nanodot-based smartphone battery it claims can fully charge in just under 30 seconds. The bad news is that the charge only lasts 15s

When I down a quad-shot cold-pour 20oz Mocha in 1/2 that time, I'm "ready* to go!
Geez, I'd hafta wait 100% that same 15 seconds just to start computing on my mobile device?
Not fast enough, I tell ya.
