Essentially, then, it gets added to a finite FiFo queue of bug reports that no-one ever does anything with.

Amazon's Rekognition system wrongly matched one in five Californian politicians with images from a database of 25,000 wanted criminals' mugshots in tests by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Sounds about right
(Without any desire to be political, just glib)

Most politicians belong in criminal databases.

Sorry, I don't understand.
What do they mean by "wrongly"?

They matched hard criminals with a politician database, but at the sight of politicians everybody got sick and the criminals complained they wanted to go back to their solitary cells.

Most of the industry is now sold on the idea that pushing code to production on a Friday is a bad practice. Weekends are overrated?
Or just fear every code deployment? (Hi Chris!  )

At my last job there was a policy to do only one release per month because the "implementation manager" would be too busy otherwise (this was an "Agile" environment, mind you) 
I'm all for constantly deploying every new feature or bug fix as soon as it's available, even on Fridays.
Because if you can pull that off you're doing something right.
I've done plenty of releases on Fridays.
Although, when customers could go and ask questions, like a complete makeover, I'd wait until Monday, but only because you're fully staffed to answer customer questions for the next few days.

We don't do Friday deployments.

In this article, I'm going to show you how you can use a few configuration files to box up and ship your entire development environment minus your bad taste in dubstep. "The Cloud is just like the River, except they're not compatible in any way. "

Multiple implementations of the HTTP/2 protocol are vulnerable to attacks that could consume sufficient resources to cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition on unpatched servers. Half a protocol, half the security

Microsoft withholding updates from machines with Symantec software, because it cannot handle SHA-2 certificates and does stupid things. That's understandable - I can't handle SHA-2 hashes either

I'm pretty sure that the brilliant Peter Norton, who saved us all so much pain and effort in years past, is no longer happy to have his name associated with symantec "products".

The flaring is not visible in optical light. It’s all happening in the near-infrared, the portion of the infrared spectrum closest to optical light. What did I say about turning the lights off when you leave the black hole?
It got even more black?

This rise of automation has formed a new development model known as NoOps, which stands for no operations. In before the 'nopes'
"That means programmers no longer require feedback and approval during development, and can operate completely independently."
I'm sure that will always work out for the best {/sarcasm}

One of the worse ideas ever. Never let devs touch production.
Real world example; the resident drunk at a VOIP company where I worked, pushed out a "trivial" update to production. An hour or so later, production crashed, bringing down the VOIP router for a few hours and generally pissing off customers.
