At a time of widespread digital insecurity it turns out that the oldest and simplest computer fix there is — turning a device off then back on again — can thwart hackers from stealing information from smartphones. When in doubt: reboot. It's not just for Windows anymore

WhiteSource today announced that it has developed the first-ever tool that automatically remediates vulnerabilities discovered in custom code. Fixes as in 'plumbing', or fixes as in 'puppy'?

A new survey commissioned by CircleCI shows that a significant portion of business leaders are using outdated metrics to measure the performance of their software development teams. You mean KLoC/dev/day isn't the way?
40%.

only for that?
They are outdated in every single aspect that has to do with software and / or developers.

A new report from NTT Application Security found that the window of exposure for many companies' vulnerabilities is growing. Maybe they should put it in the queue with the icon fixes?

I’ve tested it through the past week and wanted to test it to see how powerful it is, so I went through 3 coding questions on the web that are a set of prepared interview coding questions with it to see how it would perform. I wonder if we can hook it up to Q&A

If asked to code during an interview, OG would just tell them that he's not there to do their homework.

As I've told interviewers in the past - don't ask me questions I can google the answer for.
And don't ask me questions that have absolutely no relevance to real world problem solving.

In a group interview, I was once asked to go the whiteboard and using C, reverse a string. I went to the whiteboard and wrote strrev. The interviewer said that's not what he meant. A senior dev said it was the right answer.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has changed their qualifications for commercial astronaut wings, and Blue Origin's first flight crew might no longer be eligible. Space cadets need not apply

:yawn:
So the FAA has changed the requirements for receiving an award that makes no practical difference. They seem to forget that space is (in theory) accessible from any place on Earth; if the US requirements for licensing are too onerous, commercial spaceflight will simply move elsewhere. There is no shortage of out-of-the-way locations to build a spaceport.
I would also note that one of the reasons for requiring licensing of airplane pilots was the inordinate number of crashes by barnstorming pilots in the early days of air flight. This was because almost anyone could either build or buy a propeller-based plane. The entry requirements for space flight are much higher; I doubt anyone (not even a billionaire) is going to risk multi-million dollar hardware on a "barnstorming" astronaut.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

I would say that the guilty are not the apps themselves, but the unprofessional programmers (and not to forget the users in some of the cases)

Just like Windows 10, Windows Server used to receive bi-annual updates, but Microsoft will soon change that with the upcoming Windows Server 2022. That cheering you hear is from the sysadmins

What should be a developer's focus? Performance or Clean code? "Both? Both. Both is good."
If someone puts a gun to my head and I do have to pick, I'm going with, "it depends".
