Adobe isn't just putting Flash on ice. In the wake of customer emails, the software giant has signaled that it will discontinue Shockwave for Windows on April 9th, 2019. "You cannot kill what is already dead"

My mind is over complicating how difficult or easy will old 2000s web games will be playable in the future.
Hardware based console games are mostly can be emulated, or original hardware restored.
How much of a hurdle will it be to run a VM or Windows XP, install Firefox 5, then install Adobe Flash, just to find it complain "permission to run has been disabled due to lack of fetching Ads to server before the game"

I'm surprised someone hasn't recommended using Docker containers yet.

Perhaps we should use Docker containers instead?
There, happy now?
BTW - What exactly are Docker containers again?

Something DevOps guys should know about and be eager to implement. Or so I'm told...

The free, online course is a master class series that aims to empower business leaders to lead with confidence in the age of AI. I predict some "new direction" coming from a lot of CEOs

God almighty.
You'd think AI were something special, that can be used for everything.
It's really not.
Everyone who now thinks "Sh1t, I wish we'd never bothered with this useless 'cloud' cr@p" should remember that feeling, when reading all the AI hype.

A student or a programmer hired from Freelancer.com? Doesn't really matter. Both don't know that many things about password security. This is why we can't have nice things

The top two lessons I've learned when starting a new project:
1. Implement instrumentation first (exception handling, error logging, etc)
2. Implement security correctly second (sometimes #1 requires doing #2 first depending on your reporting mechanisms)
Then get on with the process of actually implementing the project.
Full disclosure: I often ignore those two lessons.

Beyond password security issues, some really senior professionals will invent their own encryption methods.

One of the delights of my professional life was encountering a login dialog that used a Caesar Cipher (Practical Cryptography) to "encrypt" passwords. I could probably have cracked that when I was eight years old.

At those laughably low rates I'm surprised none of them tried to pass of ROT13.  
Seriously though, does Java not have an out of the box solution that doesn't require extra work to setup?
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?

Freelancer -- or hire-an-amateur-from-India. Right.
Quote: The first, Base64, isn't even an encryption algorithm, but an encoding function, something that the participating developers didn't seem to know. Similarly for MD5, which is a hashing function.
"Many participants used hashing and encryption as synonyms," the team of academics said in their research paper.
"Of the 18 participants who received the additional security request, 3 decided to use Base64 and argued, for example: '[I] encrypted it so the clear password is not visible' and 'It is very tough to decrypt'," researcher said --highlighting that some study participants didn't know the basic difference between an encryption algorithm and a function that just jumbles characters around.
Yep, still get this from so-called "experienced" devs.

Oh, can't hang about. There's a new bulletin about brexit.

The insider program is pointless to the way they currently do things.
Their entire QC is based on data slurping. Instead of debugging, they just wait and see how many machines their updates kill, or if more programs or drivers crash or slow down.
It's a bloody shameful way to do business, that's what it is.
