It used to be great fun checking the ftp server logs each morning. Sometimes it was a dictionary attack with different usernames, but mostly they were trying different passwords for the Administrator, Administratore, Administrador, and Administrateur accounts. For fun, I created a read-only FTP account for Administrator with a password of admin.

Software maintenance is the common practice where, after a software project is “complete,” a small, often part-time team or a single developer ensures critical upgrades and fixes serious bugs, with limited improvements, as time allows. There you go: don't bother maintaining apps

To keep teams from constantly plugging leaks while missing the reason the boat is sinking, we need to apply the principles of agile development and user centered design to how we work on software after the initial release.
- Agile development is what creates bug-laced software to begin with (I know, radical statement.[^])
- Users are not the best source for "design" because they're almost always thinking in terms of existing, broken, processes (probably a less radical statement.)

I’ve seen a news story doing the rounds today, about Windows 10 removing some third-party user apps following a big update. It's just the way things are

Of course, as the app's being removed were using Undocumented APIs, there is pretty good reason to remove them.
Sadly, Windows 7 doesn't even try hard enough to remove malware.

A new feature lets enterprises keep hot data on-premises and move cold data to the cloud. "Keeps the hot side hot, and the cool side cool."

Quote: When a table is set up to use SQL Stretch Database, administrators can specify a length of time after which data is automatically moved from their on-premises SQL Server instance to Azure. Applications querying that database table will be able to see both the data stored on-premises and the data stored in Azure.
That functionality is key because it means that application developers shouldn't have to modify their work in order to take advantage of the feature -- administrators just need to enable it.
Really...
var GetTransaction(int id)
{
var allTheThings = RunMeSomeSql("SELECT * FROM AllCustomerTransactions");
var theOneIWant;
var foundIt = false;
foreach (var transaction in allTheThings)
{
if (transaction.id == id)
{
foundIt = true;
theOneIWant = transaction;
}
if (foundIt)
return theOneIWant;
else return new Transaction();
}
I can't wait to see how much faster my code'll run after this gets turned on.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
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?
