Some advocates present HTTPS as synonymous with "security"—but this is not semantics. The 'S' stands for 'Something else'?
|

..and https is all that is required to be "as safe as a bank"

Ransomware - what hackers use to encrypt your computer files and demand money in exchange for freeing those contents - is an exploding global problem with few solutions, but a team of University of Florida researchers says it has developed a way to stop it dead in its tracks. Does it involve someone with a "very particular set of skills"?
|

|

This is encouraging.
I sadly make a living fixing computers and that often means cleaning malware.
Ransom-ware is over the top.
If someone can stop it - please do.

Need to find another business plan. 
Hope I can infect a MS cloud data center or two before I have to close that business.

I do hope this proves effective and comes out soon because ransomware is my biggest fear when it comes to virus and malware.
I'm sure extortionists will try to circumvent this but if all the major anti-viruses gets something similar that's this effective then profitability will fall and hopefully reduce the risk in the future.

Does it involve locking down your computer with a 'safe' version that prohibits anyone else's from executing?

Is there a developer shortage? There's research that says yes, but there's also plenty of data indicating that the developer shortage could be an illusion created by picky hiring managers. Manhole covers (and whiteboards) deemed irrelevant

should be rethinking how the school is teaching  As a lot people only know how to do well in paper exam but cannot do lab tests/project. development is not about remembering but creative and willing to learn after school. As new one keep coming. After school is not end learning. School dont teach scala or nodejs. you have to learn your self

Developing is not writing flawless code in 2 hours on paper and carbon paper for the personal copy. That was in 2012...

Too true. I started my programming career with BASIC on CP/M, then went on to Assembly language, Pascal, Fortran, C, C++, and C# on DOS, Win16, Win32, Linux, and Android. No University could have prepared me for all those changes.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I had been through many technical interviews, most had me writing code on a white board and answering technical questions either based on their current project they were hiring for or from a Microsoft study manual. This last job, I had put together a portfolio of personal projects I had worked on in the past, suggested by a friend, and it changed how the interview was conducted. The questions were more about how I program and how I approach a project rather than some random tech questions from a book. The interview went well and landed the job. I just went full time on June 29th.

 Congrats on the job.
Yeah, I wish more companies would do it that way - it's a MUCH better test of your skill set than your ability to balance a binary tree with a marker.

Good job, I also think to do the same method. I have to many broken projects here and there and the projects that done for ex-company

There may or may not be a developer shortage, but I do know there is a qualified manager shortage. The biggest shortage is that of qualified managers of managers.

Their picky because they've learned that the majority of interviewees are morons. They might look good on paper, but can they talk intelligently? Can they talk in a language you can understand them in? Heck, can they even talk?

In this post I’ll provide a brief overview the debugging features I showed in a recent C++ Debugging Tips and Tricks video. It certainly doesn’t cover everything but each capability is linked to more detailed information if you want to dive deeper. I thought that's what printf was for?

|
|
printf is for when debugging with gdb.

If you did, you could move on from writing snarky comments for Chris and become a free-lance snarky comment writer.
