Last autumn, JetBrains surveyed more than 1,500 Java developers on their learning patterns and preferences and the results are in! Let’s have a look at some interesting highlights. If your code's broke, why bother fixing it?

You had me convinced at "Most Java developers don’t..."
You could make a game of that, with really high points awarded to people who pick things that aren't true.

AMD thinks that its processors are not impacted by the new SPOILER vulnerability that uses speculative execution to improve the efficiency of memory and cache attacks such as Rowhammer. So, you're not very Intel-compatible after all, are you?

I only have two questions, when it comes to computers:
0. Is it working well enough to do what I need it to do?
1. Do I give a damn why?
SPOILER alert!
These hacks are far too data intensive to be used on individual users, so, unless you're likely to become a CEO or a high-ranking politician in the next ten minutes, you don't have to worry too much about them.
But if you're already a CEO or a high-ranking politician:
0. The thing on your desk with the TV-like thing and a letter-thing-board and a funny little blob on a wire is called a computer.
1. You can switch it on with a button
2. When it's working, you can do things like send e-mails and tweets -- without a phone!!!
3. It can also be used to do other things, like write computer programs and documents -- but that's something for the surfs; don't worry about it
4. If you can't use it to send e-mails and tweets, shout at support, them switch it on

Back in the days of ms DOS, Windows 3.x, windows '9x, NT, XP, and even vista, I would have gone to blows to defend ms.
But then things changed -- and it wasn't I who f***cked it all up.

You had me until "Vista". The only blows I'd come to with that donkey was from banging my head onto the desk.

Believe it or not, this machine that I am working on now is a vista machine.
It's one of my "travelling* laptops", which I haven't had to replace for years.
When I got it, it asked me if I wanted the "WOW!!!" version or the NT version of windows, and I selected the "You have got to be f***cking kidding me!" option.
Without the bloated, cr@ppy, user- and CPU-unfriendly "WOW!!!" cr@p, it's a very stable, very solid OS.
Its security is handled by things far superior to windows crapdate, so I've never had any kind of problem with it.
My other travelling laptop is windows 8.1. The only problem I ever had with that one was when windows' wonderful, amazing, can't-live-without-it hibernation feature totally and thoroughly killed the hard drive.
I'll offer no prizes for guessing what the first third-party programs I installed on the 8.1 machine were.
* I take into account that North Americans can't spell "travelling", and blow my nose at it.

Oh, here we go.
I've been waiting with unabated breath for some idiotic initiative to try to do the Lie to Me[^] thing -- it had to happen, but it was slow in coming.
Here's the end result, if you can't be bothered to wait to see how it pans out:
It won't work, but it will be used anyway, misjudging people and causing grave injustices.
Trying to use AI to do psychology -- psychology that doesn't work, in this case* -- can do nothing but harm.
* In case anyone didn't know: all this "looking down to the left" and "micro-expressions" stuff is utterly unreliable nonsense that has no grounding in reality

When you lose control over a phone number — maybe it’s hijacked by fraudsters, you got separated or divorced, or you were way late on your phone bill payments — whoever inherits that number can then be you in a lot of places online. "867-5309"

That's not even a real phone number, because it doesn't start with 555.

In the process of migrating their servers, they lost (or purposely purged) all uploaded photos, videos, or audio files that are more than three years old.
Does anyone even still use MySpace? I thought it died soon after FarceBook was introduced.
