Cool, I thought, I don't need OpenSSL just to get AES-GCM! Then I read "Tink depends on Abseil, Protocol Buffers, and BoringSSL." Screw you Google.
(BTW, doing AES-GCM with OpenSSL is absurdly easy. To me, Tink makes it more complicated.)

Here’s the not-so-secret recipe for strong passphrases: a random element like dice, a long list of words, and math. And as long as you have the first two, the third takes care of itself. First, roll for initiative

The C language is very powerful, widely used—particularly in the Linux kernel—and very dangerous. One of the Linux engineers outlines how developers can cope with the programming language's security weaknesses. Just shoot off a toe, not your foot?

Crippled ports. Paralyzed corporations. Frozen government agencies. How a single piece of code crashed the world. I'm confused: if the story is untold, what's this story about?

Imagine you could get the entire web in a database, and structure it. Then you would be able to get answers to complex questions in seconds by querying, rather than searching. This is what Diffbot promises. Try it before one of the search engine buys the company

Fortunately for those whose names are likely to be flagged by filters, many platforms are increasingly relying on humans to moderate content since they can better understand the context. Just checking to make sure everyone's email filters are up to snuff

Presumably with a first name of "Seymour", just to satisfy Bart Simpson? 
Of course, email address generation policies can make even perfectly polite names sound rude: Megan Finger on Twitter[^]

As always, life imitates Dilbert.
Dilbert Comic Strip on 2000-08-19 | Dilbert by Scott Adams
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?

The worst name I had seen was back in the 90's on an old research paper from NASA. The last name was "Leaky", first name "Colon". The name is bad enough, but the report was from a study on cow flatulence.  
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

Over the last few updates to Visual Studio 2017, we’ve been hard at work adding new features to boost your productivity while you’re writing code. Time to program my fingers for new keyboard commands

Many of the improvements have been nice. Unfortunately, Intellisense for C++ has gotten measurably worse and they still haven't fixed intellisense for things like emplace_back or make_unique.

Mozilla today announced that Firefox will soon block web trackers by default. In conjunction, Firefox will also let users control what information they share with sites. That should go over big with advertisers

Just as it has in the past, Yahoo mail continues to scan the content of its users’ emails in order to sell that information on to advertisers. If you're still using Yahoo email, you have bigger problems

A project to build the $50 phone has been launched on Crowd Supply, promising to deliver "an open-source, Linux-powered" handset with "no carrier locks, bloated apps, or data mining" and that "doesn't depend on big companies". If I wanted an ugly, limited-function phone, why not get a Nokia?
OK, I don't think Nokia's are ugly - especially the bananaphone[^], but I needed a name people would recognize.

Holding that thing is going to hurt when the RPi's header pins stick you in the face. 
I'm just kidding, of course.
I'm sure they'll make sure the RPi's header pins face outward toward your hand.

Commuters are so regularly using travel time for work emails that their journeys should be counted as part of the working day, researchers say. What about lying in bed at 3am thinking about that bug?

only if you could ask the office to pay you for it.... "researchers"... which bug ? the bed bugs hheee
