Hackers were able to hijack dozens of high-profile Twitter accounts on Wednesday after gaining access to internal user administration tools and systems. Why pick a lock when you can just get the master key from the locksmith?

Hey let's try to see the positive side...
In some of those accounts, "fake-posts" from the hackers could be an improvement in the usual bullsh1t bingo that the real owners say...

We are happy to announce that Visual Studio 2019 version 16.6 contains the first user-visible pieces of C++20 Ranges support. They have the deer in there, but the antelope aren't participating yet

WinUI 3 Preview 2 is a quality and stability-driven release with a focus on fixing bugs and known issues from the Preview 1 release. I'd put something funny here, but I'm still kind of a WinForms kind of guy
Still no go-live, but would you want to?

The scams appear to be part of a widespread hacking operation affecting multiple accounts {clears throat} "I said ha ha!" (and something about a petard)
Interesting that they didn't get "the mother load" account on Twitter.

Too good! Anyone who actually follows this bouquet of sphincters and shysters--Bezos, Gates, and Bloomberg were also included--is a prime candidate for getting suckered by yet another scam. The hacked accounts were well chosen.

IOW, it was an inside job.

Kano and Microsoft have come out with the Kano PC, designed to be fun, educational, usable, and last the test of time and accidents at home or in school. Never mind the kids, looks like a cute little project

A team of researchers working out of the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have developed a two-way wireless data connection for use underwater. So the sharks can get their own danged Netflix password now

Though it may sound like our occasional April Fools Day joke, C# 9 is looking to add and, or, and not to its list of keywords. Specifically, for use in pattern matching. Good idea? And/or not?

And the article starts out with an example so stupid it almost leaves you breathless. It then doubles down.

Wow. That just.... wow.
I hate it.

This just screams for refactoring. But we can't! People will cry bloody murder!

This would require a new entry in our coding policy manual - do not EVER use the C#9 pattern matching keywords, "and", "or", or "not".
It would be put in the section that also includes, "Do not use default methods in interfaces."

I've noticed a growing trend of people assuming algorithms are pointless questions that are asked by tech companies purely as an arbitrary measure. Writing your own quicksort didn't make the list?
Yes, there is a bad word on a tweet quoted in the article. I hope that one day you may find it in your hearts to forgive me

At one [group] interview, I was asked how to reverse a string in C. I went to the whiteboard and wrote strrev . Most thought it the right answer.
|

|
|

It's absolutely the right answer (assuming the job was in C)
