Scientists have harnessed the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to create a program that, combined with existing tools, figured more than a quarter of the passwords from a set of more than 43 million LinkedIn profiles. Oh great, now AI is going for the hacker's jobs

article said: On some sites, these programs have guessed more than 90% of passwords. '
I can't believe people are still making up their own "strong" passwords.
I've open sourced the code, people. The apps are free. Please, just get the thing and try it.
No more making up passwords.
Sheesh.

Dear Jeff, Tim, and colleagues,
...
So we'll keep fighting to fight to keep the web free and open. We'll keep suing the US government to overturn the laws that make DRM so toxic, and we'll keep bringing that fight to the world's legislatures that are being misled by the US Trade Representative to instigate local equivalents to America's legal mistakes.
We will renew our work to battle the media companies that fail to adapt videos for accessibility purposes, even though the W3C squandered the perfect moment to exact a promise to protect those who are doing that work for them.
We will defend those who are put in harm's way for blowing the whistle on defects in EME implementations.
It is a tragedy that we will be doing that without our friends at the W3C, and with the world believing that the pioneers and creators of the web no longer care about these matters.
Effective today, EFF is resigning from the W3C.

Well done EFF. But I fear it's pissing against the wind. I liken the Internet up until recently to the Wild West of old, but now the power-brokers with money (and bigger guns) are moving in to carve it up. It won't be long before national firewalls such as China's are the norm, and privacy is all but eradicated. Yes, a few will find ways to circumvent things, but by and large the single open free Internet is dying.

Good for them for having the courage and morality to stand up to the corporate scumbags. I salute you, EFF.

If you want a copy of DRM data to try to disassemble it to improve security, but a copy.. don't call it 'research' so you can get a 'free' copy.

The design industry needs a new way to talk to users–one that isn’t just friendly, but respectful. "Burn them. Burn them all!"
OK, maybe I need to work on the 'respectful' bit a little.

Don't care for "friendly" myself. I got work to do.

According to the old Microsoft UX design guidelines, one would not be kind but concise, clear and to the point. The more text a MessageBox contains, the less time I spend reading it.

You need to tell the users what they want, but in a way that they will afterwards think it was their own idea.

The Visual Studio debugger is an enchanting creature that can save you loads of time while finding and fixing issues in your application. It is bursting with tools that can make debugging easier… if you know they exist, and where to find them! Oh, where has that Function Breakpoint been all my life?

3. Show parameter values in the Call Stack
I can see the usefulness of this one
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

Great article, after 18 years of using various MS IDEs 2-5 were still new to me. 2 and 3 were both features I'd raged about not having in the past. OTOH I've also raged about the performance impact of data/conditional breakpoints in C#; haven't felt the need to use them in a long time but in VS08 they could slow a hot loop by an order of magnitude vs not checking them or using a dummy if to check a condition and with a breakpoint on the then clause as a workaround.
A related question, is there any way to change the stack traces written into exception objects (and then serialized into logs) to include parameter values?

Been using several of those already, but yeah, Function Breakpoint. When did that get added?

Final approval came after the W3C's members voted 58.4 percent to approve the spec, 30.8 percent to oppose, with 10.8 percent abstaining. Insert 5p to see the rest of this _____
