Developers continue to claim that the "AI pair programmer" GitHub Copilot tool doesn't work well with IntelliSense, which is built in to Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code. They weren't programmed for pair programming

Web hosting giant GoDaddy says it suffered a breach where unknown attackers have stolen source code and installed malware on its servers after breaching its cPanel shared hosting environment in a multi-year attack. They get what you pay for
"While GoDaddy discovered the security breach following customer reports in early December 2022 that their sites were being used to redirect to random domains, the attackers had access to the company's network for multiple years"

Microsoft’s new limits mean Bing chatbot users can only ask a maximum of five questions per session and 50 in total per day. There's only so much AI to go around
That should really help it compete with Google search

While almost everybody learns at some point you can abuse C to achieve OOP in it, there are some tricks, quirks and features (some quite fundamental to the language!) which seems to throw even experienced developers off the track. Just because you *can* do something, doesn't' mean you *should* do something

It's mostly used for low level library code. If you're developing higher level software it's mostly invisible to you for the same reasons that most of us don't deal with C/C++ anymore. (Rust fixes some problems of those languages, but is still much harder to use than C#/Java/Python/Javascript/etc. so unless you need the extra performance offered...)
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?

The Blockchain world is picking it up, though I suspect mostly because it's the new kid on the block rather than a necessity. It's an alternative to C++ and Go that they were using previously and still are. But this is still an immature field in commercial terms.
Rust looks like it has a sweet spot in WebAssembly if you want super-fast performance but don't want to deal in C/C++.
E.g., as a learning exercise, I ported a Rust machine learning application from console to WebAssembly and scripted it from React/TypeScript.
In the MS web applications world I can imagine having some high-perf components, such as AI, running client-side in Rust WebAssembly and being controlled from Blazor/C#/JS.
Dan Neely wrote: but is still much harder to use than C#/Java/Python/Javascript/etc
Indeed! I've only written one application, which was a copy of a book example that was in C# and F#. At one point I got stuck for about 3 days on something that would have been dead easy in C#! I never solved it directly but tried a different approach and it eventually worked.
But learning it is a bit like when you've done procedural and OO is new, or when you've done OO and functional is new. Takes a while to adjust mentally.
I'd say, coming from the MS dev stack it helps if you've had at least some acquaintance with unmanaged code and some F#.

Frebniis abuses Microsoft IIS to smuggle malicious commands in web traffic. Internet Insecurity Service

Quote: ... smuggle and execute malicious code into protected regions of an already compromised network
If your network is already compromised, then all bets are off.
As Raymond Chen is fond of saying: "It rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway".
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."

Very true. But, in this case I figured there are so many ways to bork IIS remotely, that it was worth reporting.
