This is obviously because anyone who's looked into UA strings has wisely changed their UA string to prevent all the p1ssing about that companies like google use it for, and google is determined to regain that pissing-about ability from those who value their privacy.

Malicious JavaScript package was only active on the npm repository for two weeks. Isn't it nice that the hackers have a central repository and easy deployment tool?

I just love the way these ridiculously rich companies keep such a close watch on each others' products, so that they can play the blackshirt help them with their problems.
It's nice to know that when companies get so much money, it helps their employees to become better people, who do only good in the world.

1. Boot up the computer.
2. Start up the AI feed.
3. Feed in a couple of unarguable phrases ("!" indicates an incontrovertible fact):
- Whatever satya says is bollocks!
- Encryption backdoors are a terrible idea!4. Put the fire out, and open the windows to get rid of the smoke.
5. Shop on-line for a new dev computer.

A team of scientists has repurposed living cells—scraped from frog embryos—and assembled them into entirely new life-forms. This always ends well in the movies

Overengineering could be problematic since these programmers are usually of a great value to the company, but at some point need to be supervised by analytics and more business-savvy developers. This blurb posted by an app that sent the request to a website that phoned a typist

"Code or design that solves problems you don’t have."
And here I sit, bustin' my redneck ass over code that was implemented in adherence to that very design philosophy. Once again, an article about coding written by someone that doesn't have a f*ckin clue about actually doing it.

According to the wikipedia, overengineering is : "... for a process to be unnecessarily complex or inefficient".
I disagree entirely. If a process suffers from those things it is not overengineered. It is very poorly engineered. There is a big difference.

Experts discuss what's in store for popular and growing programming languages. To the compiler! (or interpreter as the case may be)
|
|

Not a criticism to you and your posting this, Kent -- I am far less concerned with where languages are headed than I am concerned with where programmers are headed. Having worked in this field for 30+ years, I can confidently say, "not in the right direction." Finding programmers who actually care about the quality of their work (and *know* what quality even means so as to care about it) is a downward spiral.

Agreed. I'm a little worried about the possible answers to the next question though:
Why do you think this direction is happening?
Is it the over-reliance on frameworks? (especially by JS devs)
Or IDEs?
Move towards busy-work (SOLID, "repository all the stuff", "clean code" etc.)
Just those dang kids on the lawn?
Something else?

And lack of pride about doing things the best one can in many youngsters (it takes energy and time to do it)

I see this happening frequently in articles from O'Reilly (I read their programming newsletter)
Is C# really so irrelevant in the industry? Or there is no significant innovotation to report?
I don't think so...
|
|
|
|
|
No, you're right - I think it's O'Reilly. They seem to have a blind-spot for some reason. Maybe Bill/Satya said something nasty about their animal covers, or it's a holdover from their old Unix/Linux days.

A new study shows hardly any website cookie consent forms comply with Europe's GDPR rules. What if I want a cookie?
I wonder what the processing overhead would be if sites switched to some sort of digital fingerprinting (ala EFF's Panopticlick)

Seriously?
Well, I never expected that!
Who would have thought that web-site owners could be lying, thieving con-men?
My hosts file has 5,132 entries for sites that break the law. I neither associate with nor render aid to criminals -- even if they've got cool web-sites (theverge.com, this means you).

AbemaTV’s new documentary “Full Moon Lovers” will follow Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa as he hunts for that special someone — who will then join him on a SpaceX trip around the Moon in 2023. Hopefully the moon will not hit their eye (like a big pizza pie)

 I am not sure if this is smart or not?
Smart: no one will hear so he can quickly ditch them if things don't turn out well.
Dumb: well if your needing me to spell it out, you are in this group.
