Single sign-on systems (SSOs) allow us to login to multiple websites and applications using a single username and password combination. And I'm sure it will never, ever be cracked, MitMed, or otherwise thwarted

Code says what it does. That's important for the computer, because code is the way that we ask the computer to do something. Deep, duuuuuuude

Quote: Our code reviews, simworld tests, and design meetings frequently referred back to the TLA+ models of our protocols to resolve ambiguities in Java code or written communication.
I'm pretty sure that adding another Three Letter Acronym to the project jargon doesn't actually help anything except perhaps the employment of the person who's stuck updating the acronym table in every formal document in a product.
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?

Perhaps that is why they call it the TLA+ model: it creates new TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms).
As for the person updating the Acronym Table, I hope (s)he called it the same as an erstwhile colleague of mine called his Acronym Table: AEIOU (Acronym Expansion Is Often Useful)

Sadly no fun was allowed in deliverable documents. And all the waterfall documents were deliverables.

The irony of that is that in my experience, code rarely says what it does.
A simple example:
Divide(1, 0);
float Divide(float a, float b)
{
return a/b;
}
What does that code do when b is 0? What does that code do with the imprecision of float? What does that code do when a = Double.MaxValue and b = 0.1?

From the article (link in parent):
The APIs are called ExAllocatePool2 and ExAllocatePool3. There are also separate tools available to support versions of Windows 10 prior to 2004.
"The intention here is to get driver developers a way to be more explicit about what they are doing in their program. There will never be any question of if a developer truly intended for an allocation to be uninitialized or zeroed since ^__I>(My highlighting)," explains Bialek.
No wonder there are problems if ExAllocatePool2 and ExAllocatePool3 are MS's idea of 'explicitly specified in the API name'. I challenge anyone to guess which is the uninitialized version and which is the zeroed version just from the names. If they want it to be explicit in the API name then the name should explicitly state what it does, e.g. something like ExAllocatePoolUninitialized and ExAllocatePoolZeroed .

"It is practically important to know how far their faeceses [sic] reach from the origin. Such information would save keepers from the crisis. It would also be helpful for a newcomer guidance for keepers to avoid such an incident."
I predict a niche market for an IoT early warning system.

You'd probably have to use MILSPEC parts; the -40 to 85 degrees Centigrade industrial operating temperature range won't quite do it in Antarctic winters...

Microsoft has issued a "Call for Action" to Java developers using its Visual Studio Code (VS Code) source-code editor to make sure their code runs on Java 11 or above, soon. "If we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?"
