I'm curious who's spending the money to employ 1m security professionals...

|

No one is. That's why there's a shortage.

Once in control, they can silently push new ad-filled "updates" to those users. New maxim: If there is a way, marketing will.
|

They seem to be winding up with the ban hammer. Also, a new rule that extensions "can only do one thing", however they might interpret that.
ActiveX all over again, except in this case they were auto-updating vectors of joy.

Hmph. They didn't ask me. Did they ask you?
And wait. 23 million? Are there really that many of us? Suspicious...

...and updated to "a sampling of 23M developers".
I'm know a guy who knows a guy who can get you an invite to the next, ahem, sampling.

(Devs / World population) * 100 = Percent of world population who are devs
(23,000,000 / 7,138,000,000) * 100 = 0.322% or 1 in every 322 people in the world
23M does seem a bit steep...

And consider, as Chris pointed out, that was "a sampling."
Well, considering that the population of India is 1.3 billion, yeah, I can see that it's a sampling of "devs".

This is a targeted update, addressing some key areas of customer feedback since the Visual Studio 2013 release. Latest and greatest? Meet more of the above
|
|

|
|
There's a Visual Studio 2013?

T'yeah, it's what we used to use before Visual Studio 2013 Update 1 came out! Keep up!
Well fads they come and fads they go.
And God I love that rock and roll!
Well the point was fast but it was too blunt to miss.
Life handed us a paycheck, we said, "We worked harder than this!"
|
|
|
|
|
But but but I just started using 2012 last year, it's got hardly a scratch.

Well, you need 2013 to develop Windows Store app for Windows 8.1 (me think)
Other than that VS2013 has better TypeScript support!
That's what is relevant to me and make it needed! 
|
|
|
|
|
Irrelephant to me. At work we use 2012 for its improved SSIS tools (SSDT). I use 2010 at home (when I use VS at all).

For the first time "password" has been knocked off the number one slot of the list of worst passwords. This doesn’t mean people are getting more security minded, however, as it's been replaced by the equally obvious "123456". Special hint: 123457 is really secure!

OMG, 'sunshine' is #19. I think somebody hacked the CodeProject password database.

I wonder where they are getting these lists of passwords from to do this analysis?
Don't comment your code - it was hard to write, it should be hard to read!

From the fine article:
Quote: SplashData compiles the list from files containing stolen passwords posted online during the previous year.

 Maybe that'll teach me to not read the article thoroughly
