The U.S. Navy's “UFO patents” sound like they've been ripped from a science fiction novel. Good, because I can think of one reality that needs engineering

When someone names an effect after themselves, it's time to be skeptical. (When nobody but that person sees the effect...)

The Rust systems programming language is still in its infancy, having only released the first stable version of the language in 2015, but that hasn’t stopped it from rising to the top of developer charts. It never sleeps

More than 3.2 billion unique pairs of cleartext emails and passwords have just been leaked on a popular hacking forum, aggregating past leaks from Netflix, LinkedIn, Exploit.in, Bitcoin and more. At least they're not trying to make money off of it?

They claim they have the biggest database to check for leaked emails or passwords. I thought the biggest / better was the haveibeenpwned...
Is that only marketing or do you trust them?

And those will continue until storing passwords in cleartext is forbidden by law. But since there's no incentive, no company will.
That's what elections are for. And we choose to allow business to ignore basic security.

That's it - going to aol.com!

Today we are going to show you how to get started parsing Command Line arguments, following on from our series on .NET 5. Because Windows UI apps are just so last century

It’s curious that they don’t use that as a sample, but probably yet another example of two teams at the company not knowing what the other has done.

Or two teams not knowing the other exists.
