Potentially not if you start with a debug build executable. I started at a company some years ago and discovered they had never done a release build and their product was going out as debug build.

Is that true for Linux .o or executable files, as well, that they have a debug build mode that includes symbols? I mean, with regards to the GCC compiler options?

Reminds me of an intergration test done with a big player in the healthcare IT market several years ago.
Suddenly a "debug assertion failed" message popped up.
"I actually expected this test to be done with a version released to customers."
"Yes, that's the correct version."
"But that debug assertion... It means a debug version!"
"We release a debug build to our customers."
"But with C++, you'll also have to ship the C++ debug dlls. And they must not be delivered to customers."
"Well, [company name] has a special agreement with Microsoft."
If you are big enough, there is no need to worry about your bad practices.

The firm says the credentials were stolen from other services and just happen to work — sometimes — on the victims’ Dropbox accounts as well. Still, couldn't hurt to change your password (again)

The fact is that the number of passwords you should memorize is pretty small, and there is no need of teaching users how to choose good passwords. Everyone knows what a good password looks like, we just can't memorize unique, strong passwords, for every single on-line service out there. Right, my new password everywhere: "horse battery staple INcorrect"

On October 13 1994, it was announced that the “Netscape network navigator” browser would be made available to download by anyone, initially as a public beta. So, there are probably people in the workforce younger than the 'commercial' Web

Want to switch between programming languages? These sites show developers how to bridge the gap between languages and frameworks. "My hovercraft is full of eels"

Crosswise is actually quite educational!

Is that really the word for eels? Seems a little anti-British (of course, they're pretty much the only ones foolish enough to eat them)

Run it, and your phone can be part of a vast cosmic ray detector. "Not enough people in this world, I think, carry a cosmic perspective with them. It could be life-changing."

I think they should focus on developing a decent web site first, I can't imagine any cosmic ray wanting to visit that monstrosity.

Ted Neward - Video from the 33rd Degree conference[^]
A bit long (1 hr 20) and occasionally sweary (so headphones advised if you are watching at work  ) but a good overview of why the relationship between managers and developers is so fraught and what we could do to build a kinder, more gentle world...

Microsoft has focused on how businesses will benefit from its next operating system, Windows 10, not only because corporate customers are its bread and butter, but to prevent consumers from balking at buying new PCs, an analyst said last week. "How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree?'"

Isn't PC dead already?
So what is better? Let customers postpone the next purchase of Windows or let them buy some *nix machine?
