During the end of 2021 and the start of 2022, DevJobsScanner has analyzed more than 4M dev job offers from around the world to help us understand the market and the most trending and paid languages. With great scarcity comes great pay cheques
Because I never stop sharing randomly-generated lists with you

Scanner or Scammer? The job openings here say something completely different
Solidity may be high paid, because no senile person earns money on it.

So the point of new languages isn't to make solutions easier but to create scarcity which drives up salaries.

Some Mazda owners in the Seattle area are stuck with bricked infotainment systems after listening to a particular radio station. Hopefully it's a good radio station
That's...an interesting bug.

Quote: "These customers should contact their local Mazda dealer, who can submit a goodwill request to the Mazda Warranty department on their behalf, order the parts, and schedule a free repair when the parts arrive," Surprising. The cynic in me says that American brands would have stuck to 'Out of warranty - pay up suckers' as a response to get the $1,500 from them. Of course, that quote doesn't guarantee such also won't be the case for those Mazda owners, but it makes it sound far more likely they will get it fixed without cost.

This got enough coverage that Mazda may be trying to ward off a NHTSA ordered recall on all Mazda vehicles with that head unit in it.
|
|
|
|
|
Doesn't seem to have much to do with NHTSA, but overreach is a thing nowadays. Besides, it's what they deserve for listening to NPR.
|
|
|
|
|
It's always NPR.
(I sense a fundraising opportunity; send us money or we'll brick your infotainment system. I mean, we'll stop it from happening. This isn't extortion.)

The Black Hawk is kitted out with Sikorsky Matrix autonomous flying technology. I vaguely recall this movie
Or am I just confounding "Stealth" with "Blue Thunder"?
Either way: "how could this go badly?"

Yes, Blue Thunder was a manned helicopter, Sheriff Brody got tired of them damned sharks.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I don’t do creepy, crawly bugs, but software bugs are a different story. I relish the opportunity to hunt and kill particularly nasty software bugs. Step 0: apply for funding

Open-source software has always been more secure than proprietary software, but that doesn't mean it's "secure." Mo' eyes, mo' dough
|
|
|
|
|
Sorry, but open source software security has always been on par with proprietary software. The real problem with open source security is that far too many open source systems either depend on poorly or non-maintained components that never get updated or even if every component is updated, the system itself is never updated because of fears that something will break during the update. This actually reduces open source security.
|
|
|
|
|
Given the severity of security problems with open source, his premise falls flat.
(To be fair, it seems the worst breaches we're due to incompetent implementation.)

Threat actors have started distributing fake Windows 11 upgrade installers to users of Windows 10, tricking them into downloading and executing RedLine stealer malware. As opposed to the real upgrade installers?
I know, I know - I actually like 11 for the most part (mostly as I have trouble telling it from 10 until I try right clicking on the task bar to get the task manager)

Which is the "MAYS" key
Probably, but my "finger memory" is the right click method. I suppose I need to unlearn my old, useful habits.

Sorry... MAYS is the spanish version of SHIFT
My brain was already
CTRL+SHIFT(left one)+ESC

As productivity tools get more plentiful, using the right ones can make or break your company’s retention plan. "It's a poor craftsman that blames his tools"
Is this really where we are these days?

Enterprises use the Microsoft 365 environment. If I had been the hiring manager in that opening scenario case I would have been breathing a sigh of relief for not having hired "Tony". He would have been a continuing pain in my side. Any one who would rather not make the adjustment to what the employer uses I'd rather not have working for me.

Time is your most precious asset and slow build is high in the list of developer’s productivity killers. They missed one option, "Whine to your boss until you get a faster computer."

A former employer was very good at testing, literally taking days to complete. So we started a clean 'release' system rebuild when leaving work Friday afternoon, and it would be complete on Monday morning, ten days later.
So we bought the very fastest machine available, which got all tens of thousands of regression tests complete executed for Monday morning, three days later.
Needless to say: The management never regretted the investment. (Most likely, it paid for itself in a single product release.)
