Quote: Per Gourianov’s article:
Shor’s algorithm has been a godsend to the quantum industry, leading to untold amounts of funding from government security agencies all over the world. However, the commonly forgotten caveat here is that there are many alternative cryptographic schemes that are not vulnerable to quantum computers. It would be far from impossible to simply replace these vulnerable schemes with so-called “quantum-secure” ones.
Even if this change were to happen to every internet connected device today; the NSA, etc would still want quantum computers capable of PWNing RSA, etc. They've got data centers full of decades of encrypted traffic sitting around waiting for a crack to be developed. It's not as flashy as reading what Vladolf Putler is sending to his generals today, but that sort of historical data is very useful for understanding what your rivals decision making processes are and why they did things you've never been able to understand.
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?

Many big companies can't resist doing this. Microsoft has never been able to resist, it seems. The more things stay the same, the more they stay the same

Nearly half of companies are using outdated, legacy backup and recovery infrastructure to manage and protect their data, according to a survey commissioned by data management company Cohesity. If you haven't found out it's broke yet, keep using it?

I assume that the solution is to use Cohesity's products. Well, The Tao Of Backup said it before, and much more memorably.

And the other half have no backup/recovery infrastructure. Probably more truth to that than I realize.

Split evenly between those who never had any such infrastructure, and those with a pile of really old backups that they've been unable to access up update since their new laptop came without a CD/DVD burner. (or in some really old cases a floppy drive.)

This interesting concept of the majority being overshadowed by the vocal few is quite fascinating and holds true in software engineering. {...}

And I frequently wish that the vocal minority would just please shut the .... up.

Undoubtedly this feature will become very popular because it represents an elegant way to solve some issues with actual string literal. I think cooked string literals are more nutritious though

Enjoy 🙂🙂🙂 I'll make a serious try, but don't expect wonders!

Another "feature" that was added because they couldn't think of anything else to add.

When I was a junior developer, one of the most difficult skills I had to develop was reading code, or more specifically, understanding a large code base. Print it off - then you can fold it into a nice hat
Oh, wait. That's how to wrap a large code base around your head. Never mind.

That post makes too many assumptions such as the junior dev knows anything about the processes, languages, frameworks, tools, build and test processes, and omits key points like teaming up with a senior dev for mentoring. As with most thinking about what programming is, the post assumes code is the thing and completely ignores the reality that code is in many ways the least of the things a junior dev needs to first learn.
