I'm not sure what causes this but there have been times where I was able to see the servers at my wife's (employer's) company on my home/office network. (something to do with VPN I think) Anyway, if I see a strange server or computer on my network, I will certainly snoop, or at least try.

Some developers feel threatened by the DevOps revolution, and their feelings are understandable. Others question, legitimately, whether a DevOps approach to software delivery is the best fit for their organization. Time to start a new term: DesDevOpsMarkSal

First, and only, time I did a [phone] interview at a company which wanted a DevOps person, it was crystal clear that they were using DevOps because they were cheapskates, not because it was a good idea. I cut the interview short.

That's a different definition of the buzzword than the one I normally see.
I'd always seen it used as Full Stack + Sysadmin before.

IT leaders often rely on lengthy job descriptions to fill openings, overlooking latent talent. Applicant must have 30 years experience with C#, a doctorate in AI, and size 8(US) feet
Dress size 0-8.
|
|
|
|
|
That first item is always the most important. Most HR departments seem to demand at least five years of experience in a technology that is, at most, two years old or similar ratios.
|
|
|
|
|
The "funnest" interviews are when you realize that what the job description says and what they need are entirely different and even the hiring manager doesn't realize it.

We are calling it Windows 10 "Update Edition", because that seems to be all you can do with it is Windows Updates, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, until you get fed-up and install Linux.

Over four years ago, Microsoft's internal database for bug tracking was apparently breached by hackers. It was discovered in 2013 but never disclosed to the public, according to five former employees of the company who spoke with Reuters. Fortunately, they retrieved more information than they could deal with

Adobe Systems Inc (ADBE.O) warned on Monday that hackers are exploiting vulnerabilities in its Flash multimedia software platform in web browsers, and the company urged users to quickly patch their systems to prevent such attacks. Happy any day of the week

...and how is this is different from the last 17 years?
|
|
|
|
|
That's a bit harsh, it's not always Adobe Flash that has vulnerabilities found in it, it's often Adobe's Acrobat Reader too.
|
|
|
|
|
I only say that because it has earned that reputation. It's about as secure as IE6.
I know Reader has a ton of security holes in it too, earning it about the same reputation.
|
|
|
|
|
It might help if there was a patch you could apply for IE11 and Edge.
Oh well; disabling Flash works just as well.

Isn't there one?
Quote: Adobe said it had released a Flash security update to fix the problem, which affected Google’s Chrome and Microsoft’s Edge and Internet Explorer browsers as well as desktop versions.
For Edge, AFAIK it'd be pushed via windows update similar to how Chrome gets Flash.

It wasn't there when I checked this morning.
When I checked an hour ago, it started downloading FCU.
It's now been sat on "Downloading updates: 62%" for a good 20 minutes, with no network, disk or CPU activity.
