A class action filed in a US federal court in San Jose, California, states that Intel was informed about the Downfall vulnerability in 2018, but the company didn't fix the issue in its processors and the flaw was independently rediscovered in 2023. Oh, you meant *that* flaw

can slow CPU performance by as much as 50% for certain "ordinary computing tasks,"
Let's be honest here, ordinary code is not full of gather instructions. How often have you even seen _mm256_i32gather_epi32 , let alone chosen deliberately to write it yourself? And yes, some compilers (not MSVC) may generate gathers even if you didn't write them, under some circumstances, not very often (and this was a mistake to ever do).
Gather was always, and still is, slow on AMD CPUs. For much more than 99% of the buyers, that is not a consideration. Even as a programmer you probably never noticed.

An error as small as a single flipped memory bit is all it takes to expose a private key. Nothing to PANIC! PANIC! TIME TO PANIC!
"The vulnerability occurs when there are errors during the signature generation that takes place when a client and server are establishing a connection. It affects only keys using the RSA cryptographic algorithm, which the researchers found in roughly a third of the SSH signatures they examined. That translates to roughly 1 billion signatures out of the 3.2 billion signatures examined. Of the roughly 1 billion RSA signatures, about one in a million exposed the private key of the host." <- You don't want to be that one in a million kinda guy

In the past few years I have been noticing an unsettling trend - software engineers are eager to use exotic “planet-scale” databases for pretty rudimentary problems, while at the same time not having a good grasp of the very powerful relational database engine they are likely already using, let alone understanding the technology’s more advanced and useful capabilities. You need to know which end is the handle

"Microsoft steals access data" - When the well-known German IT portal "Heise Online" uses such drastic words in its headline, then something is up. "Gentlemen do not read each other's mail."
Yeah, I probably use that quote too much, but I think it's especially appropriate here.

Well, then to make up for using the quote too much, you must think up a blurb that surpasses it in depth and breadth!

This is very underhanded by Microsoft. I'm going to spread this link to everyone I know.
Microsoft might be getting called on the carpet soon.

Good enough code is a nice middle ground between implementing a feature fast and maintaining the code quality. It's good enough, smart enough, and dog gone it, people like that code
Caution: It does contain a word that offends some people.

What word is that? "Quality"

Does hearing bad grammar make you physically cringe? It turns out out that it may well induce a medical phenomenon in the human body. I felt that this article is wrong. I enjoys grammar and I can't hardly believe this is true.
