I think if one is going to post something like this one should post statistics on security breaches of the risk in question. How many security breaches have there actually been because of /tmp?

I grew up reading Tolkein and then playing D&D. It seemed to me along with everyone in our playing sphere that D&D was set in Middle Earth, not Medival Times. It wasn't long after the original release when the Gods & Demigo

I think it will be a niche. Frameworks will be updated to AI Frameworks where AI has known patterns to plug and play with. Given the way capitalism works there will be a market for AI software. However, the cloud server provides have create

I don't have a problem with the article. I do have a problem with the "every programmer". Not every programmer writes sophisticated algorithms. In fact, in my experience working on web sites most programmers are front end dev

I've been using Emacs the way most people use Notepad++, just for quick text edits. Been doing that since the 1990s. The other thing I use Emacs for is the regular expression modes for search and replace. Unlike Notepad++ Emacs is avai

Yahoo is the same as it always was, but these days it produces better results than Google. Bing is okay but getting worse over time. Google image search is the worst. Bing is marginal but at least useful.

YMMV. What I learned from experience that I already knew from education is that absolute power corrupts absolutely. There is a real tension when picking a graduate school. Do you go with the topic of interest and a tyrant? Or do you pick an

Agile is much, much, less complicated paradigm and it has been turned into some Frankenstein of borrowed past processes at every company I've ever worked at. I can only imagine what would happen to this watershed model if it became pop

I think the piece overlooks the fact that most FOSS software these days is written by corporate America for corporate America. This became apparent back when Redhat was being sued by SCO for Unix copyright infringement. Turns out IBM had &q

I'd contrast this by watching a season of HBO's "Entourage". I find it interesting that actors who are those with the least expertise and least value of conversation have talent agents and publicists whereas the experts

UC Berkeley uses Scheme as the first course for CS for a reason, to weed out people. I've seen first hand people struggle with functional programming to much higher degrees than procedural. I'm not in the procedural camp per se, I

The thing about Lenovo is one can get a 4 year, on site, service contract for less than $500. If a keyboard key breaks, no problem, they swap it and come to your house. Over the hears I've had monitor pixels die. They don't care,
