Although most businesses have security protocols in place for sharing information from the intranet, employees do not seem to know the guidelines. There's a company protocol for that?

In this article, I will discuss two features proposed for C# 8. The first one is the Ranges and the second one is Recursive Patterns, both of which belong to the category of Code Simplification. In case you want to play with the deer and/or antelope

Making code more difficult to read by adding arbitrary symbols is NOT "simplification".

Early last year, YouTube received a design refresh with Google's own Polymer library which enabled "quicker feature development" for the platform. Now, a Mozilla executive is claiming that Google has made YouTube slower on Edge and Firefox by using this framework. So that's why I've been having to wait for my cat videos!
|

One of those "no sh*t Sherlock" moments.
(And in an odd irony, Polymer doesn't use Go. Maybe SpaceX could gather all JS frameworks and launch them into the sun.)

I think SpaceX will have to wait for their Falcon Heavy[^] - the sheer mass of JavaScript frameworks is starting to cause gravity to increase I think.

The pursuit of thinner, lighter laptops, a trend driven by Apple, means we have screwed ourselves out of performance. They look at me funny when I set up the mini in the coffee shop though
|
|

|

Slightly misleading since few laptops use desktop CPUs and GPUs. Heat has always been a problem, along with flaky batteries, lack of expandability, crappy touchpads and breaking in expensive ways.
My kids used to ask why I never bought a laptop for myself and now that they've had the "joy", they've seen the light and have either switched or will be switching to desktops when their current laptops pine for the fjords. (Except my youngest, who uses her laptop for relatively trivial things.)

Cybercriminals are delving into the past to launch attacks based on some very old vulnerabilities according to the latest report from Kaspersky Lab, and they're using Linux to do it. Linux is the new Windows?
I didn't feel like a "The Year of Linux DDoS" item.
Then again, I guess I just did.
Bother.

What Go Cloud then gives these developers is a set of open generic cloud APIs for accessing blog storage, MySQL databases and runtime configuration, as well as an HTTP server with built-in logging, tracing and health checking. Go go gadget cloud?

Google wants lots of things.
I'm tempted to be more sarcastic, but given the choice of Node.js or Go, I'll take Go. (Okay, I won't take either since cloud development bores me, but I'd rather punt the project to someone using Go, since I won't have to vomit if I have to get involved. Remember, I ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) C++.)

I would jump on it in a sec. Google just needs to make sure Android (Android Studio), iOS (XCode) and all major browsers support it out of the box.

This bug occurs because Bluetooth-capable devices do not sufficiently validate encryption parameters used during "secure" Bluetooth connections. More precisely, pairing devices do not sufficiently validate elliptic curve parameters used to generate public keys during a Diffie-Hellman key exchange. Good job, Harald

Scientists have created the most dense, solid-state memory in history that could soon exceed the capabilities of current hard drives by 1,000 times. New technique leads to the densest solid-state memory ever created. Don't worry: file sizes will expand to fill those too

It's possible to use a dead person's fingerprints to unlock a device, but could you get away with exploiting the dead using an iris scanner? Not if a team of Polish researchers have their way. I'm not sure what's creepier - that someone might try, or that these researchers tried to prevent it

"it can only spot dead eyes when the person has been deceased for 16 hours or more"
So plunking out the eyeball and using it right away still works.

It handed down a combined €111 million in penalties to four electronics manufacturers. It's not just for Google anymore?
Odd. *That* company still seems to be missing from the list of ones being fined.
