Security staff in global businesses don’t have much of an influence when it comes to budgeting and developing secure applications, according to a new report from cybersecurity firm Radware. On the bright side, that means they get to fix more security bugs?

Not only presumptuous to think that they would come, but endless naive to think that if they come and are not that friendly we still will be able to do something against them...

Scientific American's standard. Decades ago I used to read it (or rather its German counterpart Spektrum der Wissenschaft), but became fed up with that.

I've still got a huge pile of Scientific American from the late 70s / early 80s - in the days when it was in large format, articles undisturbed by ads (ads were essentially placed in the first and last pages of magazine). Articles were thorough, yet easy to understand. This may to a large degree be because their illustrations were very well made: Maybe simple, but reduced to exactly what you needed to understand the issue discussed.
Then SA got new owners, and changed almost overnight to a poor quality The-Newsweek-of-Science style. Since then (according to Wikipedia, the takeover was in 1986), I never considered renewing my subscription.
I really feel tempted to spend some time down in my basement, digging up those old issues, to see if they really were as high quality as I remember them ...

Don't do it... keep the good memories and don't risk them with reality.

By leveraging Wasm for software containerization, we create universal binaries that work anywhere without modification, including operating systems like Linux, macOS, Windows, and also web browsers. If it's good enough for the web, it must be good enough for everywhere?

I wonder if there's any cross pollination between this project and what Unity is doing with C# as a scripting language for games? A lot of what's needed to make something run on a low end microcontroller would seem to overlap with what Unity needs to do to keep frame rates smooth even if your embedded project doesn't have real time constraints. A lot of what Unity's doing is coding convention related; avoiding allocating/destroying temporary variables both directly and indirectly (ie all the stuff Linq does behind the scenes) to avoid triggering GCs that would blow the 16ms window between frames at 60FPS.
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?

So they're still extending the ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.freetls.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) you! Pay Me! finger to larger businesses, and setting a trap for smaller ones that will (unless they go out of business) almost certainly end with an you! Pay Me! situation. That's so much better than before.
