Millions of people visiting mainstream websites over the past two months have been exposed to a novel form of malicious ads that embed attack code in individual pixels of the banners. Steganography for the win!
The good news: it only worked against unpatched IE and Flash bugs. So, "no one" would likely be affected.

Using Ad-block is somehow self-defense.

Ad-Block and No-Flash are lifesavers. Not only weba navigation is 10 times faster, but there are no unwanted sounds coming off your speakers while the browser is unresponsive thanks to a thousand Flash stains on a single tab.
Just with those two plugins antivirusses becomes largely superfluous.

Still enjoying tremendous demand for their skills, mobile coders and Big Data specialists are set to command the highest developer-related salaries next year, according to a new report from careers firm Robert Half Technology. Sessile big data devs less so
That's a coelenterate joke. Never enough of them.

In June, Microsoft became the first tech giant to take the leap into legal weed. Hmmm. To make a joke about Windows 10, or The Cloud. Oh, decisions.

In a study, users who customized an online news portal based on their personal interests were less systematic in processing the information on that portal compared to those who modified the site as directed by the researchers. But it's *my* fake news

The Wendelstein 7-X reactor, which uses a complex design called a stellerator, is performing just like it was predicted to. Now that Snap! song is stuck in my head
And maybe now yours as well. Mwahahahaha!
|
|
|
|
|
current fusion reactors, including the W7-X, are still not efficient enough to produce more energy than they use. However...
Hmm. I think it still is a step in the right direction though.
|
|
|
|
|
agree.
Energy compensation / gain still is a problem, yes. But get it working as expected without blowing something up was unthinkable a couple of years ago.
I hope they get some more steps in the right direction, the world is "kind of needing" this technology.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Not knowing anything about the case, I assume Sumsumg copied a design idea from Apple and Apple wanted money from them?

Yeah, basically. Rounded corners and other silliness.

Easy solution: Agile + DevOps.

There's no magic bullet and I don't see how Agile or DevOps address the underlying causes.
The major causes of debt tend to be the things that happen right at the start of the project. I'd say the biggest causes are:
1) Poor/non-existent architecture. If you don't know where you're going, you don't know how to get there. Things get bolted on at all angles, there's all kind of duplication and no-one knows where to find anything as the business logic might be lurking in any tier.
2) Bad database design. Bad databases make bad software because people are always trying to code around the inadequacy of the database, every mistake in a database design leads to a whole heap of extra code.
3) Failure to apply the single responsibility principle. We've all been there - after three days of looking, the erroneous stock allocation turns out to be from a method called UpdateGeneralLedger().
4) General sloppiness. Lazy, inadequate and inaccurate naming of things is a huge and frequent obstacle to maintenance. Lack of coding standards or failure to apply them certainly won't help either.
5) Short-term "get-it-out-the-door" decisions. As the article suggests, sometimes these are unavoidable and may even constitute "good" debt in many ways but if these debts aren't serviced, they going to grow and grow.
Slogans aren't solutions.

I think he was kidding, because Kent always jokes about Agile and DevOps.
