Once again, the hackernews crowd shows their embarrassing lack of security understanding. Every time security stuff comes up, the comments are just cringe. "Durrr fuck M$." Eesh.
Back in the mid 90s I was teaching myself QBasic and basic electronics. Realizing I could combine the two via the parallel port on our PC was a magical epiphany that I'll never again experience. Being able to "pull" programs into the physical world blew my 14 year old mind.
When I see people start discussions like OPs, my first reaction is always, "Ah, you've just started paying attention to the news. Yeah, it's always been like this. Welcome to the world."
What an absurd take. The author asked it something extremely theoretical, with no actual objective correct answers, it gave reasonable answers, but the author disagrees, so it's no good?
Yeah I agree. I had an ex that listened to mental health podcasts 8+ hours a day. It's all she'd talk about. It became pretty clear that she was addicted to mental health in a way. Her entire life revolved around grief and trauma. It's good for us to work on ourselves, but you have to actually BE yourself at some point.
Yes. I was a musician until 30. Kept up with tech and always had projects going. Worked my way up the ladder from contract help desk to Director of IT in 10 years. I just kept applying for help desk jobs until I got one and absorbed everything I could.
Nope. You’ve clearly never worked in IT. There is no perfect solution. And the closer to perfect you get, the system becomes harder and harder to use, maintain, and modify.
No, that's impossible. No one would want to start a business, ever if you could just be wiped out because some vendor's vendor fucked up. If you want that, then we need like a free tax funded federal MSP.
Alright, sure. But you need to prove negligence. It's impossible to write perfect code right? You really have to prove whatever breach/error happened wasn't on purpose and wasn't due to gross negligence.
It depends on the body of water and the DNR has guidelines for this. This isn't remotely news, it's fear mongering. Places with PFAS are generally port rivers and industrial zones. People don't fish there (or if they do, they throw them back).
I'm in the exact situation. Thought a legacy system would be a fun project to modernize. Nope. It's hell. They don't want it modernized. Knowing more about it than before, I couldn't even if I wanted to. So for 2 years I've been keeping the house of cards and duck tape from falling over and I just can't give a fuck anymore.
This is exactly it. There isn't one authoritative way to project any process into a series of lines that is easily readable and conveys all ideas or dimensions. If there were, we wouldn't need the code in the first place. You'd just "draw the lines".
