First, I wasn't using "basement guy / girl" n an insulting way, they are very often the most brilliant. I can stand corrected and if I was taken as offensive, then apologize for it, I have no problem with that.
Second, I didn't know who the github belongs to or who she is. I have done a fast check and she is a malware researcher. Perfect, she usually helps. I can stand corrected here too, but...Quote: The result of the newly released exploit is that it increases the chances of attackers developing worms that work remotely.
I still think the publishing should go a bit more discrete than that.

I closed the previous post, I am not sure she would want her identity revealed/discussed on a public forum.

I suppose not, that's why the GitHub was under a nick and only with those two projects.

After several months of social distancing and staying home, a lot of people are experiencing major wanderlust. Because you're literally not going up there anytime soon

Your development team is ready to hire a new software tester. What questions can you ask in the job interview that (a) are not lame and (b) actually help you determine if this job applicant is qualified? Not, 'If you test a parachute, what colour is it?'

How long will it take until we get the new wave of "XX Answers for an ZZZ interview" articles here in CP?

"When was the last time you were ever held to account for a bug that went live?"

One of my life’s traumas is the bug trackers, the issue trackers, the project management tools. The toolset that completes the version control log to form the development equivalent of double-entry bookkeeping. We're going to need more Post-It! notes

What goes on in the minds of programmers when they write software? It's almost like they should call them programming *languages*. Who knew?

That's why programmers can't communicate while writing code...

Plenty just can't communicate, period

More human-readable, like VB tried 30 years ago?
If anything, you see that languages are becoming harder to read, with statements like "elif" instead of "else if" or "fn"/"fun" instead of "function" because it's shorter and saves keystrokes.
Other than that we all just want our C-syntax.
If I look at four newer languages that are also quite popular, Go (2009), Rust (2010), Kotlin (2011) and Swift (2014), you'll see they all have C-syntax.

Quote: you'll see they all have C-syntax.
At least that's better than "they all have COBOL syntax".

I use a lot of spacial and mental visualisation to map code out.
Chunking code makes sense to me
How would this study compare with a maths problem?

We released PostSharp.Community.Packer, a free and open-source tool that you can use to pack your .NET Framework application into a single .exe file for distribution. Coming up next: Why are my EXEs so big?
|
|
|
|
|
Just plain stupid...
Those still targeting .NET Framework (like me) already have a deployment route... Those going for the .NET Core have these features platform independent already...
So a zipper that includes your referenced binaries in the exe totally unnecessary...
(and it will include also references that the linker discarded as unused)

The new tools are meant to help the developers of password managers and Apple hopes the tools will reduce the instances where users chose their own password rather than rely on the password manager. Because we were holding them wrong?

Is that Post-It! compatible?
