Researchers detail the unusual workings of Tycoon ransomware - which appears to be designed to stay under the radar as much as possible. Good. I was getting tired of all the old attack methods

This is mostly explaining how Java Runtime is a security issue.
I can only agree, but that's not news. If you get it, it's because the runtime that hosts the virus is there. If it isn't, there's no way this can happen.

I'm just surprised it's taken this long for them to use the runtime like this

It exploits the contrast between light and dark to produce a current to power a small gadget Who knows what power lurks in the darkness?

In today’s Windows environment, Microsoft actively blocks binaries from running; thanks to “SmartScreen”. Works as designed

If you look at most of the negative images surrounding software developer stereotypes (antisocial, overly technical, condescending), many of the bad qualities stem from a lack of empathy. For those who have to deal with idiots, morons, and a-holes...

Isn't that the very definition of "nerd" or "geek" and why many of those people become software developers? I know that's a stereotype, but still...
None the less, my one line reply to:
"How software engineers can better develop empathy"
is, they write an AI that shows empathy!

These whiners should learn to deal with it. They're lucky to get any software at all!

Having worked in jobs other than software development - warehouse work shifting boxes as well as selling plastic rubbish in a shop - while there is certainly a certain population of software developers who could do with better communication skills, this is in no way confined to the world of software development.
Unfortunately it's an existential/human issue - power has a tendency to bring out the inner jerk in a lot of people.
By power I don't necessarily mean the power over other people in a management position, but the ability to have an influence on a number of people.

I suppose he hasn't work as waiter in a bar or as seller in a retailer.
If you think software developers can lack empathy, you should see what a collection of morons, idiots, jerks, a-holes and more you might have as customers...

It's one of the things I have seen with many of the younger developers.
They were born into a world with the internet and they may have never worked in any other job than a development role.
[disclaimer - this is a generalisation and I know of young developers who have worked in other roles]

Personally, I think that users are idiots because we developers enable that behavior (either by negligence, or by edict) by poorly thought-out UIs.

Windows 10 includes two disk cleanup features that allow users to free up storage space used by unnecessary system and temporary files. Microsoft is making changes to these features to prevent Windows users from deleting files in the Downloads folder by accident. You asked for a cleaning, you got a cleaning...
