The ubiquitous virtual keyboards found on smartphones, tablets, and other touchscreen devices might someday be replaced by an invisible equivalent, if researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have their way. Mpw ebwrypnt ccn g-uxh stpe!

Quote: 95.84% typing accuracy
It's probably more like 65%, given that the keyboard is never in the same place and it has to guess which letter you start with to position the rest of the keys, but even 95% means one word in 12 will be mistyped/misinterpreted by the dictionary, which, I gotta say, means that it ain't nowhere near usable.

 Ugh, why did I not think of that? Brilliant!

Martin Fowler recently tweeted a link to his blog post about Kent Beck’s four rules of simple design, which I think could be improved upon (and, which can lead programmers down the wrong path at times) "I agree with no man's opinion. I have some of my own."

|
|
My two rules:
1) It works
2) It's maintainable by someone who knows what they are doing

Can you up that by a few thousand words? We have column space to fill.

I'll stop paying attention after the seventh version, because it will turn to cr@p after that -- especially the 10th (the "last version ever"), which will be hugely amended and modified several times a year.

Hackers on the prowl for unsecured databases found a publicly accessible MongoDB instance and replaced the almost 1.2 million sensitive records it stored with a ransom note. NoSQL, NoSecurity

To be fair, the fault in this case seems to be nothing to do with MongoDB. If I left SQL Server unsecured on a public facing network. I suspect it would be compromised pretty quickly too.

You are right, the issue is between the chair and the keyboard.

True, but shouldn't the default configuration be a little safer, rather than completely open?

I wonder how "triggered" today's snowflakes would be if forced to watch that movie and what would offend them the most?

"Nobody move, or..."
Betcha.
They're not snowflakes, though; they're wankers who want to force their way of life on others.
Every political affiliation and religion has plenty of them within their membership; they're just too stupid to realise that not everyone can believe or want exactly the same things that they do.
"Live and let live" is probably the second-best advice that was ever given to anyone by anyone.
* The best advice ever given being "Don't cancel Firefly, you bloody morons!"

Project Zero is the terrifying security research team infamous for three things: discovering the worst vulnerabilities out there, finding a new vulnerability every day, and giving companies only 90 days to find a fix before a full public reveal. Nice internet you have there, shame if something were to happen to it...
