Microsoft tamed the Internet Explorer beast in Windows 11, preventing anyone from summoning it and running its ancient code, but now one dastardly Twitter user has broken Internet Explorer’s chains and set it free to run freely on Windows 11. "And with strange aeons even death may die."

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

An encryption algorithm that was supposed to stand up to attacks from the future's most powerful computers was recently laid low by a much simpler machine. Maybe it's just good against quantum computers?

I told you guys before that a one time pad is unbreakable. Maybe the supposedly encryption algorithm developers did not read this site or other sites that people told them that.
Specifically, according to a a report on Single-Core CPU Cracked Post-Quantum Encryption Candidate Algorithm in Just an Hour[^] the algorithm used two curves and a map between them. That can be found via calculus which existed before electronic computers. When I went to college, long ago, some engineers and other fields were required to learn all 4 semesters of calculus. If an engineer saw the logic path of the algorithm, they might have cracked it in less than 5 minutes without a computer. Man made and man devisied Algorithms can be broken.
According to Wouter Castryck, KU Leuven, and Thomas Decru, KU Leuven, "Our attack exploits the existence of a small non-scalar endomorphism on the starting curve" and this was on an old single core "in about one hour".
Back to the Quantum computer stuff: It does not exist as a different system from binary analytics. Both use transistors, or if they can print them small enough Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors, which are both just transistors. Nothing new. An IGBT just has an insulator that resists cross-talk or current leakage between the switch and the switched. A quantum computer is being advertised as using more binary to construct basic binary, therefore it is based upon transistor binary operations at its basic level. Think of an 8 bit byte thereupon requiring 8,000 [whatever they want to call them] binary switches just to get back to that byte.
I expeced this to happen.
Thank you.

If you listen to the CP hive mind, for a programmer a degree is useless, college is useless, math is useless. There is only Javascript.

it math is used to encrypt, and math used to decrypt, then math would say math can be used to hack/decrypt/crack said encryption.
and somepeople write complex math, newtonion physics, then someone comes along and says, you can simply that to e=mc2
|

I think that of all the math formulas that I have been given in this life, that one (e=mc^2) took me the longest to understand. I found quantum physics to be very interesting, but difficult to fully understand. I think that I might have read 3 or 4 books on Einstein and his own explainations of that before I became comfortable with quantum logic (the "real" quantum logic). Those "quantum" computers which are being tested by the National Bureau of Standards are not quantum mechanic based. They are fake quantum. They are a scam. The NBS has proven the current concept of quantum machines as advertised to be applied to currently built computers to be a scam.
Back to the encrypting: If a code generated by machine could not be cracked, other than a true One Time Pad (which is by definition NON-REUSABLE), then the NBS would have found it already.

Thousands of GitHub repositories were forked (copied) with their clones altered to include malware, a software engineer discovered today. Fork!

I doubt that. It looks like click bait to get more pass through clicks at GitHub.

I guess if you are doing open source, github is okay, but letting MS manage anything from a security point of view in the cloud is a recipe for disaster.
My source code is behind a firewall on an internal network. Period.

Yes, this is one of those cases where it's a shame that both sides can't lose...

IBM board of directors investigates sales fraud claims • The Register
IBM's board of directors has started an investigation into claims that its sales numbers were manipulated, leading to executives securing big bonuses. If the board fails to take any action, it may face a lawsuit to claw back millions of dollars from top staff.................

I thought it might be booking sales in the year the contract was signed instead of when payment was received. But no, it's shifting revenue from the mainframe business to the CAMSS (Cloud, Analytics, Mobile, Security, and Systems) businesses, which IBM touts as "strategic". That'll be harder to prove, because how to apportion revenue when several business units are involved is debatable. But when bonuses are based on such things, games will be played.

With new technological advancements coming onto the market everyday, managers of development teams need to be adaptable in their management style as well as persistent in overcoming roadblocks. Same as always - managing developers
|

As a manager of developers I'd say it's managing the CEO.

 Protecting developers by managing up and out instead of down is the hallmark of the best managers. It sounds like yours are fortunate.
