CERT updates its list of potentially worrisome innovations. Pretty much every shiny new thing...
|
|
|
|
|
Risks to whom? If it means risks to financial and insurance companies from making huge profits, and the risk governments losing control over information accessibility, then yeah, these innovations bring risk to those types.

We’re committing our resources towards making MDN Web Docs the best place to go for web API reference. To kick things off, today we started redirecting over 7,700 MSDN pages to corresponding topics in the MDN web docs library powered by Mozilla. "There can be only one."
I know some people have problems with "the other place"

So all those 7,700 pages that say "content no longer available" all go to one page now???

Coding could easily become mainstream in the next few years, and we'll probably all need to jump onboard regardless of our levels of experience. "The only function of economic forecasting is to make astrology look respectable."

That song seems like it is stuck on repeat; first of all, there is not enough market for all those developers. Second, we don't need more hobbyist insecure apps that are merely a button to invoke a website. Third, those people are more valuable doing other stuff.
If you make programming easier, you get more crap. VB6 already proved that, and someone is trying to translate the C# keywords to hindi to prove it again. Even if they didn't provide more crap, but something usefull, who is going to buy all that software?
Ah, lets assume they use it theirselves; programming is so easy suddenly that they make their own picture-editor. Does that mean they'll now know how to build an OS? A safe password-manager?

I'm pretty sure that's the same manure cart that has been dragged around all the PHB conferences every few years since COBOL first promised to make programming a business activity instead of something you needed engineers/scientists to do. 
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?

Ooh goody a whole article to tell you that there are programming resources out there. I feel so uplifted now. What about those poor souls who don't have the aptitude to learn to program? How are they going to get by? Just because I play guitar, it doesn't mean that I could write Purple Haze from scratch, or Concerto de Aranjuez.

A new survey of IT security professionals reveals that 92 percent of respondents say employees at their organizations try to access information that is not necessary for their day-to-day work. Why, what have you heard?

I do and I'll admit it. SysAdmins give me access to solve a problem and never take me out until the vm or app or both are migrated. Then if I'm ticked or just curious, I nose around and maybe find or get something interesting.

I'm not sure what causes this but there have been times where I was able to see the servers at my wife's (employer's) company on my home/office network. (something to do with VPN I think) Anyway, if I see a strange server or computer on my network, I will certainly snoop, or at least try.

Some developers feel threatened by the DevOps revolution, and their feelings are understandable. Others question, legitimately, whether a DevOps approach to software delivery is the best fit for their organization. Time to start a new term: DesDevOpsMarkSal

First, and only, time I did a [phone] interview at a company which wanted a DevOps person, it was crystal clear that they were using DevOps because they were cheapskates, not because it was a good idea. I cut the interview short.

That's a different definition of the buzzword than the one I normally see.
I'd always seen it used as Full Stack + Sysadmin before.

IT leaders often rely on lengthy job descriptions to fill openings, overlooking latent talent. Applicant must have 30 years experience with C#, a doctorate in AI, and size 8(US) feet
Dress size 0-8.
|
|
|
|
|
That first item is always the most important. Most HR departments seem to demand at least five years of experience in a technology that is, at most, two years old or similar ratios.
|
|
|
|
|
The "funnest" interviews are when you realize that what the job description says and what they need are entirely different and even the hiring manager doesn't realize it.
