I think overemphasis on "free" as compared to the important part "software" is part of the problem - along with the Balkanisation occurring in any successful projects.

Well, you're right; most of them don't know how to write code.
But they also don't know how to write documentation, so the article is right too!

The name of the security game is defense in depth, so all these hardening steps help … but we still need to assume that Internet Bad Guys will somehow get a copy of your database. And then what? Save them the effort?

XData Ransomware Master Decryption Keys Released. Kaspersky Releases Decryptor.[^]
God thanks I didn't need it, so I don't know for sure if it works. But I think is worth to know about it

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Rice University computer scientists have adapted a widely used technique for rapid data lookup to slash the amount of computation—and thus energy and time—required for deep learning, a computationally intense form of machine learning. They rediscovered lookup tables? Good thing they're on "our side".

"For example, in small-scale tests we found we could reduce computation by as much as 95 percent and still be within 1 percent of the accuracy obtained with standard approaches."
Gosh, within 1% of the accuracy? That could be read the wrong way.

Let’s be honest; DevOps emerged as a buzzword. But now, it looks like a legitimate course for infrastructural development. Until the next buzzword comes along?

As long as we have corporate executive's and PHB's that love to sling around phrases like "We leverage DevOps to widen customer draw and improve service quality and integrity."
Meaning, until the cows come home. And the cows have no idea where home is.

Like the way dead people (possibly) enjoy not knowing they are dead ?
Is "artificial demand" a kind of toxic waste product of "fake-news" ?

That would be snails.

Google's new ad-filtering technology will define "annoying" as outlined by the Coalition for Better Ads -- that means Chrome users are about to see a lot fewer pop-ups and auto-playing audio spots. And by 'annoying', do they mean, "from companies that don't pay them?"
Yes, I know that's not it.
Probably.

Please, please, please don't block lingscars.com. Every inch qualifies as annoying, yet sometimes you just need a laugh!
Sudden Sun Death Syndrome (SSDS) is a very real concern which we should be raising awareness of. 156 billion suns die every year before they're just 1 billion years old.

So AdBlocker has become really popular and Google (et al) were thinking "How annoying, an app that blocks ads and steals our revenue". Then when AdBlocker built a sufficient userbase they started charging companies to whitelist their ads, so now there is another middle man in the advert chain and Google now thinks "Whoah, if we build this tech into our browser so people don't use AdBlocker then not only do we get money from all advertisers, we get double bubble from some who will pay to get whitelisted!"
Keep up the good work not being evil.

How cynical! By which I mean, I think you just hit the nail firmly on the head.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Taking the non-cynical route; ads on my phone bug me far more than the same on my desktop/laptop. (The other day, I was reading an article on my phone. When the ads finished loading, I couldn't find the actual article. So I hit the back button.)

OneLogin has admitted that the single sign-on (SSO) and identity management firm has suffered a data breach. However its public statement is vague about the nature of the attack. Convenient for the hackers, they now have a single sign-on

Git goo, Boltzmann machines (love his constant), custom iterators, and HYPERLLAMA! OK, maybe I read that HyperLambda article title a little too fast
Yeah, I know you guys complain about me posting it here, but between the custom iterators, git, and Xamarin articles, looks pretty appropriate.

Quote: Hyperlambda is neither an interpreted language nor a compiled language. It doesn’t even have syntax. I feel at home, already.

Most llamas aren't really hyper... they just live too close to coffee and coca plants...
