My reference was from an even earlier cult film A Clockwork Orange (film) - Wikipedia where the poison of the time was a white concoction that looked like a glass of milk and was called Moloko (spelling may be wrong).

The site is called Send, and it’s basically the Snapchat of file sharing: after a file has been downloaded once, it disappears for good. I sure hope they have reliable backups for those files

Troy Hunt, the security expert behind Have I Been Pwned (HIBP), has released 306 million previously-pwned passwords in a bid to help individuals and companies ramp up their online security. OK, I'll switch to 123546
How did he think this was a good idea? "I know, if we give hackers a convenient brute force database, people will stop using p@ssword?"

And I have it like 20 years, and lately all sites declared it too weak so I started to switch it... (the new one not on the list also)

Quote: although Hunt advises you don't check any passwords you currently use, for obvious security reasons.
Didn't you read that? Now, the hacker who has access to that site knows both your current and your previous passwords...

I particularly like the "Do not send any password you actively use to a third-party service - even this one!" on the Password Search page.

Microsoft is giving its Windows Console (Command Prompt) a color overhaul. If this doesn't get everyone to upgrade, what will?

I had to check my calendar. I figured it was more plausible that I had been sucked into a time vortex, taking me back to April 1 than the article been legit.

DARK_BLUE 0,0,128 0,55,218
DARK_GREEN 0,128,0 19,161,14
DARK_CYAN 0,128,128 58,150,221
DARK_RED 128,0,0 197,15,31
DARK_MAGENTA 128,0,128 136,23,152
DARK_YELLOW 128,128,0 193,156,0
DARK_WHITE 192,192,192 204,204,204
BRIGHT_BLACK 128,128,128 118,118,118
BRIGHT_BLUE 0,0,255 59,120,255
BRIGHT_GREEN 0,255,0 22,198,12
BRIGHT_CYAN 0,255,255 97,214,214
BRIGHT_RED 255,0,0 231,72,86

So Black and white are no longer black and white? Even RGB is less RGB than before.
@Chris-Maunder: The preview is showing me extra spaces before each column in the bolded lines. I'm using tabs. It's perfectly aligned if I don't bold the entire line. Will see what happens when posted.

Our tab-to-space converter isn't taking into account the (invisible) markup in the text. I'll add it to the TODO

I thought the Year of Linux didn't come because of the terminal and nobody uses it under Windows, but "developers have been asking for"... Interesting, because this request has less then a hundred votes, and Microsoft already ignored request with over three thousands...

Despite what you might have heard around the industry and on the Internet, Test Driven Development (TDD) is not dead. The practice is still alive and well, especially in this new modern agile world. Can you show me the tests for that?

It's deader than dead, at least where I work

Like everything else - it has its place and is useful in that place but should not be applied outside of that place...

Test Driven Development promotes the idea of understanding what you are trying to build before you start building it
Building something before you understand what you are trying to build - now there's the real reason for why IT projects still fail. 
It exposes weaknesses in requirements, in the architecture, and even in your test infrastructure before you start trying to build something.
Ah, right. By the time you've tested all that, you've practically built the thing you're supposed to be testing. Particularly when the reality is that requirements shift as pieces of the project come online, and more importantly, time marches on and requirements often change during the development process as a result of external, uncontrollable shifts in markets and technologies.
Funny how you could take that exact same sentence as a reason for why TDD fails!
