The end of the year is rolling around and it’s time to remind everyone about that yyyy works the way you think it does and YYYY does not. Frickin' dates, how do they work?

Employees aren't the best at security, while the decision-makers trust them too much, new report states. I'm never going to live that down, am I?

Forgive me for pointing out the obvious, but doesn't the above translate to "decision-makers make bad decisions"?

I don't like the way that almost half the page is dedicated to a section named "Overcoming Objections".
My suggestion for the textual content of such a section is one word: "DON'T!"
Look at the reasons for the rejections!
If anyone thinks the huge majority of them are not valid, they're wrong.

"Lead with developer empathy"
What the hell does that even mean? The paragraph allegedly explaining this is pure marketing gibberish.
What cracked me up was that the article was about marketing, but most the survey responses could be reduced to "the product sucked." Marketing doesn't help much there.

Evil Fizz Buzz is Jason Gorman's exercise that uses Fizz Buzz to teach continuous integration and test-driven development, played with five or more software developers. Just in case you're feeling a little bored this week
Apologies that the actual method is described in a Twitter thread, but there's enough on the linked page to figure it out.

If you are going to divide up a task that trivial between five developers, and make TDD mandatory for the task, the entire management team needs to be fired. And if it takes five developers for the task, they need to be fired as well.

Why is Jason Gorman screaming that his son never met with Russians? Does he think anyone cares?
Oh. Sorry.
Wrong twitter feed.

Ruby 2.6.0 comes with an early implementation of a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler. The JIT compiler was introduced in Ruby to improve the performance of programs made with Ruby. Just in time for Christmas (ruby compilation edition)
Yes, that's a 'Ruby is slow' joke. Apologies to the Ruby fans. It's your turn for old jokes.

JiT? I thought they were using the JTFC* compiler.

Quote: On Optcarrot, a CPU intensive benchmark, Ruby 2.6 has 1.7x faster performance compared to Ruby 2.5. The JIT compiler, however, is still experimental and workloads like Rails might not benefit from for now.
So, they speed up the language behind the slowest web platform in a way that doesn't actually benefit the one case where ruby performance matters. Rails sites with more than 0 users.
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?

The Mars Express Orbiter has captured images of a huge crater full of ice on the surface of Mars, just in time for the holiday season. I guess that settles the "is there water" debate.

It’s practically a rule in tech: If it has electricity, eventually it will run Doom. Now a Roomba might have been a bit tricky to work into that equation, given the lack of things like a screen, but game developer Rich Whitehouse has found a way with a new tool he calls “Doomba” that can take floor map data from the smart cleaning robots and convert it into Doom levels, according to Polygon.
