A company called Slooh, which provides live streams of outer space via telescope, is opening up its sightings of eclipses, full moons, asteroids, and comets to anyone with an internet connection — for free. You'll have to provide your own Kirk/Picard/Sagan/Tyson monologue to go with it

The flaw is in how .NET coding libraries handle deserialization operations, leading to situations where attackers can execute code on servers or computers handling deserialized data. I'd make a serialization joke here if it were even theoretically possible

A survey of IT professionals, commissioned by New Relic, suggests that a partial adoption of a devOps strategy may be counterproductive. Just going 'dev' or 'ops' doesn't work?
