Dokken - "Breaking The Chains"
"When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others; same thing when you are stupid."
Ignorant - An individual without knowledge, but is willing to learn.
Stupid - An individual without knowledge and is incapable of learning.
Idiot - An individual without knowledge and allows social media to do the thinking for them.

As in previous years, input validation vulnerabilities accounted for a substantial proportion of total, Risk Based Security report shows. Yeah, sorry. I'll try to do better this year.

I like this darkreading.com, they had a least one good reasoning for the number
Quote: The reason for it could simply be that researchers are publishing a higher percentage of lower-risk vulnerabilities than before
I like to think someone found a massive security vulranability like client data exposed to the internet.
"It's fine, we will define this a just 1 vulrability, and bury it in a see of less vulnerabilities. Since the firedoor was propped open last week due because the automatic doors were broken. Lets file 500 vulnerabilities for each of the staff members in the building."

Researchers have developed an algorithm that safeguards hardware from attacks to steal data. In the attacks, hackers detect variations of power and electromagnetic radiation in electronic devices' hardware and use that variation to steal encrypted information. Pass the Faraday cage

Computers are good at processing vast amounts of data, but humans still have their uses. Is it someone whacking their hands with a ruler if they try to open the wrong emails?

If it is the same human intelligence they are using in their windows 10 updates...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Registrations were opened just yesterday for those wishing to join the Microsoft Build 2019 conference this year, however the company has something interesting for those with a younger student developer. "Teach your children well"

Great, show your kids just how deathly boring conferences are.

In a survey of 98,000 developers on the company’s platform, Hired assessed the kinds of jobs that are most in-demand; the languages that companies are most interested in hiring for; and the top average salaries for careers in several major technology markets including London, New York, Paris, and San Francisco. Fake News! FoxPro wasn't on the list
|
|
|
|
|
But are they in demand by design or out of desperation to fix a design?
|
|
|
|
|
Well, ruby is near the top of the list. So I'm guessing the latter

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Michael Howard, MariaDB CEO, adds Amazon and Oracle lock in customers. He also wonders if Amazon Web Services might cripple its AWS MariaDB instances to make AWS's own DBMS, Aurora, look better. Workin' in the code mine. Compilin' on down, down.

Psychologists investigated the impact of background music on performance by presenting people with verbal insight problems that are believed to tap creativity. They found that background music 'significantly impaired' people's ability to complete tasks testing verbal creativity -- but there was no effect for background library noise. You'll get my headphones from my cold dead hands (and ears)!

Did they also fail to mention that people clanking their cereal bowls and munching away on crisps(chips for those in the US), or the one person in the office who is incapable of communicating in any other manner than shouting when the person they are speaking to shouting at is right next to them are more disruptive to creative thinking than listening to music?

Exactly, Guy.
The point of wearing headphones at work is not rooted in any notion along the lines of "listening to X enhances my thought processes", it's quite simply a case of a relatively even volume level being far less distracting than an inconstant one and a single sound source being less distracting than multiple ones.
A while ago, whilst having the headphone debate I started taking noise readings at my desk and saw sound levels varying from 45db to 78db (a huge variation on a logarithmic scale), that's not a good environment to do anything in, let alone write code.
Like most coders, I'm slightly autistic and cannot help but process all available inputs, and one coherent sonic input requires far less processing power than an unspecified number of dissonant ones.
