I definitely found that interesting. I didn't know the AA was tied up in mystical hogwash, and that this had been allowed to influence mainstream treatment of alcoholics in the US. They have my sympathy.

Well, if you're allowed to teach by shining bright lights in students' faces and administering electric shocks, I might even consider going into teaching,

I wonder if this would work for those asking for their homework to be done in QA?

When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.

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?

Researchers at Sapientia University in Romania and Université de Lyon have recently carried out a performance evaluation of unrestricted mouse usage for impostor detection. So use the keyboard, and they won't detect you?

C'mon, that's boring. I do understand the concerns, but an expirement where above restrictions do not apply would be more interesting.

Survey results released by DigitalOcean show that a majority of developers now invest in open source, while their employers fail to do so. "So open up your heart and let this fool rush in"

Antivirus programs, by their nature, introduce a degree of risk. Since they have to scan malicious data to stop attacks (and thus need extensive permissions), a piece of malware that exploits antivirus flaws can typically run with impunity. At least your antivirus won't get hacked

The flaw is now identified as CVE-2018-14665 (credited to security researcher Narendra Shinde). It has been present in xorg-server for two years, since version 1.19.0 and is exploitable by a limited user as long as the X server runs with elevated permissions. X marks the spot

Despite the hype and predictions of dominance for low-code development environments, the latest Evans Data Global Development Survey shows little appetite for low code or no code development environments among software developers. I'm gonna go with, "There's a reason for that, Evans"

Oh yeah, some people are still not fed up with COBOL MUMPS and their ilk.
In a couple of years, it will take real developers' time to maintain that crap.

A 'no-code' development environment does not mean there is no-code... It only means that someone else (who probably thinks he know better) wrote the code for you...
It also a pain-in-the-ass the bend it to your need, not to mention maintenance (when Mr I-know-better moves to an other platform and breaks everything)...

I was quite happy when I no longer had to write databases, if I needed them, and to just drag buttons and other controls onto a window, rather than code both the buttons AND the window. Libraries and frameworks are damned handy things.
This is just an extension of that, and it's bound to happen (with varying degrees of success/failure/catastrophe, for a while), so resisting it will just make you look like a miserable old bugger.
