A new report reveals a year-on-year increase of nearly 60 percent in global phishing attacks, fueled in part by the proliferation of generative AI-driven schemes such as voice phishing (vishing) and deepfake phishing. Yu haVe Recieved 12 million euros from The Estate of PDP-11, George

There is something about surprising interfaces: clapping to switch on lights is more fun than a flipping a switch. Double-click with pizzicato

Well...pizzicato is for the string section. Maybe overblowing!

C# 12 as part of .NET 8 introduced a compelling set of new features! In this post, we explore one of these features, specifically primary constructors, explaining its usage and relevance. "There can be only one"

If it ain't broke, don't fix it! 
I often roll my eyes at all these new language features and static analyzers that complain when a 10-year-old code base isn't using them.

Microsoft claims the latest incarnation of its lightweight Phi-3 Mini AI model rivals competitors such as GPT-3.5 while being small enough to be deployed on a phone. Is that an AI in your pocket, or are you just thinking hard?

The irony is lost on few, as a Chinese threat actor used eight MITRE techniques to breach MITRE itself — including exploiting the Ivanti bugs that attackers have been swarming on for months. They forgot to read their own reports

You can plan, strategize, chunk, fold, spindle, and mutilate a project for countless person-hours, and you still won’t know the difficulties that lay ahead in actually writing the code. Because we suck at defining projects

I'm pretty good with my estimations and have worked with people who are also pretty good at it. The biggest problem is bosses/management don't want to hear the actual estimate.
Long before Agile and Scrum, Novell adopted the mantra that all projects take two weeks. I was in one meeting where everyone on our team was asked how long it would take to finish--mind you it was just our team--and everyone said "two weeks". I said "five months." I got laid off six weeks later. The project took exactly five months to finish (and still didn't ship for another six months after that.)
