I long ago concluded that working more than 50 hours a week is counter-productive. I wonder, however, if the types of jobs where long work hours are common/expected are stressful in other ways (such that the work hours themselves are the least part of the problem.)

What about 35? I think I am going that high at the moment...

That's what I have per contract
I usually do a coupld of hours more per week, and then I do a couple of days shorter to compensate.

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

Keep your apps safe and secure with these development techniques. If you don't have it now, you'll need it shortly

And the example of secure software is [trumpet fanfare] using an exception to detect an illegal input.
Now, it is Java, and maybe that's the only way to do it. But there are already enough Java folks who don't give a rat's bottom about performance. Write once, crawl anywhere. At least they don't have to worry about buffer overruns, as far as I know.
But the code also catches any other exception, and writes it to the console!

Quote: The code above is secure because it performs exception handling
Wow, that's the dumbest thing I've heard in a while.
[HttpPost("DeleteTable")]
public object DeleteTable([FromBody] string tableName)
{
try
{
db.DeleteAllRecords(tableName);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Debugger.WriteLine($"Oops {ex.Message}");
}
Look! My code is secure!

Your code is also missing a closing brace.

I wouldn't compile/run so it's even more secure!

That's a better security feature than what the author writes about.

Latest GitLab survey finds one-year surge in automated aspects of DevOps. But is there a risk of over-automating? I'm sure there's a joke there about DevOps and intelligence, but my algorithm refuses to write it

But my algorithm doesn't. To wit: It's easy to automate mindless activities.

As developers, the ability to collaborate through video (for example, pair programming, demos, etc.) is an extremely important part of a software workflow, especially for communities and teams that are distributed. Your next pull request can have a trailer

Microsoft is working on resolving a high-pitched noise issue Windows 10 users hear when using some 5.1 audio configurations after applying recently released cumulative updates. I thought that was just the new startup sound

CAPTCHAs strengthen the security of online services. But while they do that, there’s a very real cost associated with them. Select all pictures containing stop signs to read this article

In other words, CAPTCHAs are the perfect compliment to bitcoin mining! Better combine those two somehow!!!

Ugh. Now I figure someone's going to do it, and we're all doomed.

If we could make it somehow so that the miners had to pass a CAPTCHA test each loop of the mining operation, or something, it could be a net positive!

If they actually worked properly, they wouldn't be so bad. But often they don't, and they're also abused by sites that don't like VPNs because they want to track you or they're built on software developed by cretins who use a blacklist of VPN IP addresses.
|
|

|

Are you saying that the CAPTCHA itself is somehow a tracking device?
Could you elaborate on that, I'm quite interested to learn how.

No, I'm saying that many sites that use CAPTCHAs only do so when you access them through a VPN, and the motivation for discouraging use of a VPN can be so that it's easier to track you.

It's obviously that and not that by using a VPN you're co-mingling your well behaved activity with that of various malicious idiots running bots, resulting in the VPNs IP address being flagged as high enough risk that all traffic on it is being slammed with a captcha to stop - or at least slow - the botherds.
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?

They assume the site users are going to are not a waste of time. (Could it be that CAPTCHAs prevent enough people from going to sites that it's a wash?)
