Fixing bugs and defects as early as possible isn't always a good idea. That's what you do in a release branch, where it's damn the architecture. In the development branch, it may be necessary to evolve the architecture instead of adding another kludge.

A new cybercrime ploy sees hackers hijacking law enforcement email addresses to demand troves of user data from tech platforms. It's working. Do we have to call fake police to arrest them?

Hmm, perhaps asking for a warrant is a good idea.
|
|
|
|
|
They're faking the warrant by taking advantage of seriously broken warrant system.
|
|
|
|
|
From what I read, they presented no warrant, claiming an emergency.
But yes, the warrant system is broken.

Two of the key enhancements we’ve made to IE mode—restoring IE COM object calls and implementing bidirectional cookie sharing—have been in direct response to customer feedback. We heard you preferred the web broken, so we left it in

My takeaway from the article. The last decade+ of IT Management at National Australia Bank should be permanently disbarred from being allowed to use or supervise the use of any technology more advanced than the thermostat used in a deep fryer or cooking surface.
Also everyone involved in approving their public shaming as an MS case study in companies who've spent the last decade being too incompetent to stop using IE should be banned from ever working in public relations as well.

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?

A seemingly widespread scam tries to get people to click on a phishing link contained in a text that appears to come from a target’s own number. The hacks are coming from inside the phone!
"Verizon is aware that bad actors are sending spam text messages to some customers which appear to come from the customers' own number" <- gosh, thank you Verizon. I thought it might be good actors.

Leaders have to make corporate culture as important as sales figures to win the talent war, according to remote CEOs. Always hold your pinkie finger out when debugging code

My company is all about that culture thing. We get free airplane rides to anywhere in the country when we purchase an airline ticket to that destination. Free food at the local restaurants when we buy ourselves a meal. The parking lot is lined with blacktop motionless treadmills which is equivalent to most gym memberships, and when we screw up big time, we earn lifetime company unpaid sabbaticals. I could go on, but I don't want to make anyone jealous.

I wish my profile was AI-generated.
(LinkedIn was good at one point. Now it's mostly irritating. I mostly stay on to keep track of former colleagues.)
