This reminds of the movie "Encino Man" when "Link" catches the fly and pops it into his mouth and Pauly Shore's character says, "meat group."
Exactly what are they investigating? Humans have been eating those things for thousands of years.
The best way to get people to eat stuff like that is to make sure they don't know what it is when they first try it. We did that with our nieces. We knew they wouldn't touch calamari if they knew what it was so we had them try it first and after they said they liked it we told them what it was. They turned up their noses a bit but continued eating it. For many people, if not most and I am included, the idea of something can turn them off more than its actual taste and smell.

CodeGuppy, unlike other introductory platforms such as Scratch which use visual block-based languages, aims to teach kids (and teens and "creative adults" to code by writing Javascript. We might have to call Child & Family Services about this
Before you write to complain: we're not trying to make light of child abuse.

Kind of mandatory: It's better with Javascript | CommitStrip[^]

A lot of attention is paid to Scrum, but how widely used is it? Nothing to see here

SCRUM is like the pirate code - it’s just a set of guidelines.

This study brought to you by Scrum Training Incorporated. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

All of the gov devs on my team had to go to a 2-day scrum master class, and now they have to go to Austin to take a scrum dev class.
Someone here has not only drank the kool-aid, they're freakin' bathing in it.

The only reason SCRUM came out first is because the 'ad-hoc' method wasn't included...
It would beat all of them to dust...

To mark today's World Password Day, access and identity management company OneLogin has released a report that shows IT professionals at US companies waste 2.5 months a year resetting internal passwords. Because typing 'p@ssw0rd{n+1}' is hard!
Yeah, they've got something for you to buy to fix that.

I am changing the passcode on my phone to f@*#ya.
I am wondering if the police will arrest me when I give them my passcode for abusing police officers with an obscenity!

That's an ad, not news. The biggest threat comes from disgrunteled former employees, not from some kid guessing a password.

The Windows 10 Control Flow Guard security feature has been discovered to contain significant performance issues when launching large executables. Microsoft has since created a fix and it is ready to go for release in a few weeks. Fortunately, all Windows programs are tiny

Researchers at North Carolina State University have identified design flaws in "smart home" Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that allow third parties to prevent devices from sharing information. Flaws in a design? Inconceivable!
The hack just needs access to your home network. Well, that should stop it. /eyeroll

Flaws?
I start thinking these are the new features and we are the product. That would mean that their "leak" ability is working as designed.

A new computer processor architecture developed at the University of Michigan could usher in a future where computers proactively defend against threats, rendering the current electronic security model of bugs and patches obsolete. Do not try to stop the attacks, only realize there are no attacks (or something like that)
"The chip blocks potential attacks by encrypting and randomly reshuffling key bits of its own code and data 20 times per second"
I'm sure that won't have *any* performance implications
|
|
|
|
|
Twenty times per hour would probably be adequate.
