All properly configured applications should be running with least required db credentials, limiting what they can do. That Accenture was monitoring all administrative level queries against the db makes perfect sense in a locked down product

Having it built in seems just as likely to be a "bad thing", since that version is "baked" in, there's no alternatives. That's why the extension approach by VS code is so surpreme. I'm sure JetBrains would

Angry users is not something you can opt out of. Malware reports are just another fact of life for many open source projects. I think the putty link (was posted elsewhere) is an awesome summary of the impossible fight you're asking dev

It's pretty common for programs compiled by "uncommon" compilers, and since the D compiler is selfhosted, it would fall into that category. AV software isn't magic, they probably just look for stack/calling/all

CSS and HTML will usually afford a specific approach. Being a web developer is knowing what these approaches are, and to know when stuff might get "not nice". So when you see a graphic designer using multiline text blocks with eli

It's a "oh shiny" thing from my point of view. People get bored with the old, and want to try the new Google/Netflix/Microsoft tech, irrespective of its suitability. Once the client/customer signs off on it, in

WSL is a godsend for developers. Having easy access to openssl with minimal fuss is awesome for all those obscure cert operations that you need a couple of times a year. Cygwin and all that has always been rather crappy IMO, so I'd usu

The article described how the courts are basically in cahoots with the scammers, bending any possibly argument in favor of the "professional ward." It's truly awful, but it seems to jibe with the whole prison thing going on i

I shouldn't have to use gpedit to disable ads that consistently appears when using certain windows features, and which have no "Don't ask me again". Presumably some freak compatability issue (I've noticed ads always

It's incredibly frustrating. I've been on the .NET wagon since ASP.NET 1.0 (and ASP before that), and my day to day friction with .NET has been increasing steadily over the last few years as more and more of the eco system starts

I initially thought it was a story about some obscure compact disc pressing/inventory management system that Yahoo apparently had lying around because big corps have strange stuff in their basements. I mean, it's pretty common to

"Elm is Wrong" is a good click-baity title. It's not out-right lying, but opinionated sure. It leads me to want to know in what way it's "Wrong", somehow broken fundamentals, stupid API, bad implementation, or

Presumably it received a false positive (or it was interpreted as such). This really seems like the root cause, and I suspect a case of happy path engineering striking again.

It would have taken 10 seconds to add a box over the username while he was adding those arrows, given the context of the article, it seems outright irresponsible.

In some ways, the article reminds me of the documentary "Helvetica" about the eponymous font. In the film, font designers are both for and against, some calling it sterile and corporate/big-brother and others saying that it&#
