Our romance with new technologies always seems to follow the same trajectory: We are by turns mesmerized and adoring, disappointed and disheartened, and end up settling for less than we originally imagined. Depends on what's in the box

Recently Fabien Sanglard wrote an excellent post where he deciphered a postcard sized raytracer, un-packing the obfuscated code and providing a fantastic explanation of the maths involved. I really recommend you take the time to read it! But it got me thinking, would it be possible to port that C++ code to C#? "Limbo lower now, how low can you go?"

Argentina native Santiago Lopez is the first person to surpass $1 million in rewards on HackerOne, a bug bounty platform that offers money in exchange for finding security vulnerabilities in IT systems from participating companies. Yeah, well I found a dime in a parking lot yesterday

Probably other guys earn more than he, but they do it exploiting the security holes and / or selling what they find off-record in the black market

The release earlier this month of a preview Windows 10 build that isn't due until 2020 was a little strange. At the time, Microsoft said vaguely that it was because of features that "require a longer lead time," with no indication of what those features are. It's going to take them that long to work the bugs out?
Of course I'm kidding - they won't take the bugs out

I like this darkreading.com, they had a least one good reasoning for the number
Quote: The reason for it could simply be that researchers are publishing a higher percentage of lower-risk vulnerabilities than before
I like to think someone found a massive security vulranability like client data exposed to the internet.
"It's fine, we will define this a just 1 vulrability, and bury it in a see of less vulnerabilities. Since the firedoor was propped open last week due because the automatic doors were broken. Lets file 500 vulnerabilities for each of the staff members in the building."
