A hacker has gained access to a developer's npm account and injected malicious code into a popular JavaScript library, code that was designed to steal the npm credentials of users who utilize the poisoned package inside their projects. This would only be a problem if there were a centralized, shared location of commonly used packages that everyone trusts

Who doesn’t love the smell of performance reviews in the morning? A smell welcomed by employees and managers alike with joy and delight. An efficient ritual that is fair and definitely motivates everyone to improve. A ritual that no one doubts is worth the investment of time and energy. I promise I did great work this year. Pinkie swear. Now where's my raise?
(Not talking to Chris on that one. I'd be overpaid if I did this for free.)

Fortunately @chris-maunder is off to Iceland, so he'll never read this. I feel perfectly safe.

Good to know Iceland has no internet.
Perhaps Chris will eat some Hákarl and be out-of-commission.

At a previous company I worked for we had 360 reviews i.e. where your peers / direct reports anonymously reviewed your progress along with your manager. This gave a 360 degree appraisal (those beneath, alongside and above you).
I remember getting critical feedback from some of my peers, but as the whole thing was anonymous, I didn't know who had said those things (although I had very strong suspicions).
This created a very bad working environment where you could annually bad mouth a co-worker, and your manager would take this into your review meeting and ask you for comment.
So glad I no longer work there. One of the worst company cultures I have ever had the misfortune to experience.

Per year? That seems a bit excessive.

Google researchers demonstrated that a neural network could be tricked into performing free computations for an attacker. That AI is going to be so miffed when it finds out.

If it really was AI, it would give the wrong answers.

Microsoft's latest Windows 10 'Redstone 5' test build adds lots of new Notepad features For those living in the stone age...
|
|
|
|
|
I am living in the stone age, really don't need any new feature in good old Notepad. Bad news.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh gee, nothing is changing for you. Notepad is not a DOS program.

Thanks, I know the difference between DOS and Windows

I use other tools (including Notepad++) too, but criticizing the notepad like this... No way.
For some tasks is the best tool you can still find.
If they twist Notepad in Windows 10 they are not going to improve it. They are going to mess 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.
