A huge developer survey reveals trends in developer education, job prospects, skills acquisition, and salaries. If all the other kids jumped off a bridge and learned Python, would you do it too?
Or would you just try to get their stuff?

Nope, I prefer to watch them flail as they try to learn how to swim in the new waters. It's always interested to see what shore they end up on.

I say to them, "No son, that's not what we do here."

In my salty old opinion.... the people who show up on these reports are the ones who are tying to figure out how something works that they copy/pasted from somewhere else

Flaw affecting selected sudo versions is easy for unprivileged users to exploit. It's a good thing nothing bad would happen with this

Hmmm,
Linux is swiss cheese. Back when I had access to Vupen via a shared account the commercial product exploits had an expiration date internally called EOL (End of Life) when disclosure occured. Interestingly the Linux exploits appeared to be perpetual until public disclusure. Some of them were available for over 3+ years. I always assumed it was because of some legal issues. Nobody owns Linux so there is nobody to answer to.

I thought it was just a song by Phil Collins. He sort of stutters when he sings it.

Hackers are exploiting many of the same security vulnerabilities as last year and they all impact Microsoft Windows products - but a bug in Adobe Flash was the most exploited in 2019. There's something that seems similar about these, but I can't place it

Yes, there are a few commonalities there. One error too - WinRAR is not a Microsoft product, AFAIK. Did they buy them too?

WinRAR is immensely useful, well built, robust, and intuitive, and it has an extremely small footprint.
Are you seriously asking if ms has anything to do with it?

No, I only asked if they had bought WinRAR. It still works great so it is obvious they haven't had anything to do with it so far.

I see that IE has four separate nasties in the top ten.
Sorry, Chaps, I know it will break your hearts, but I think we'll all have to stop using it.

Instead of hardware, that team is focussing on software tools that will allow today’s developers to take advantage of quantum breakthroughs. Good, because people in wheelchairs should be able to use quantum computers as well

With Google Takeout, you can download your data from Google apps as a backup or for use with another service. Unfortunately, a brief issue with the tool last November saw your videos in Google Photos possibly get exported to strangers’ archives. Welcome to the 'Over-sharing community'

TL;DR: TeamViewer stored user passwords encrypted with AES-128-CBC ... in the Windows registry. If the password is reused anywhere, privilege escalation is possible. If you do not have RDP rights to machine but TeamViewer is installed, you can use TeamViewer to remote in. TeamViewer also lets you copy data or schedule tasks to run through their Service, which runs as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM, so a low privilege user can immediately go to SYSTEM with a .bat file. This was assigned CVE-2019-18988.
The developers of Teamviewer went communication silent after the issue was reported in November, and so after being unable to get any followup the researcher who found the flaw has published in full.
Altogether now...

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?

Whoops.
I spent so long fighting with the page's anti-copy/paste I forgot to go back and add that in.

Internet portal Yahoo!, looking ahead to a future in which Yahoo! would certainly still be a household name that was never supplanted by a newer search engine, sealed a time capsule in November 2006, so its primitive way of life could be explored by the cyborgs, Vulcans, and damned dirty apes of the far-flung future. "And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death."
They almost made it all the way to the re-opening of their own time capsule.

One of the downsides of getting older is that years like 2006 don't feel like "the old days". 
Damn those bluddy yahoos for reminding me!
