When I think about me in this grand universe of consumerism, transactions , & financial systems. It just feels like me , a squirrel picking peanuts with bare hands and stocking them one by one in granary for future use. I'm into such a small biz. That's okay. But the problem is, the attackers don't even spare squirrels. The servers coming under DDos attacks and spammers taking over things doing their business more actively than me doing on my own servers.
We can spend some money , hire security experts and seal all holes. But it's almost like selling all my 2 years worth peanuts and pay the security expert only to protect an empty granary.Feels silly. You get the idea?
When I read news like Yahoo coming under attack. Linked-in getting spanked on their a*se. I get some ideas to drop online business and open a bakery at the street corner with cool steel shutters.
Yahoo, Linked-in : When all these huge giants spending millions on security systems, still getting to lose on security. People like me, should we even worry about this or just live by mercy of the attacker for our tiny online establishments?
Let me know if there's a script that detects a security breach attempt , and leave a direct note to the attacker's IP like:
"Respected attacker, I know you got skills. You could rip, roast this poor server.
But before you proceed, please read :
I'm a poor guy running a small business, Spare me, I'll give some IP addresses of my friends who are doing MUCH better and have real high-config servers. Trust me your throughput will be really high. Contact me to my email ID abc@xyz.com , - Yours Honestly & faithfully me ".
Okay the questions you could answer:
Breaches happen at big companies just because they made an accidental stupid mistake in their security systems that an usual hacker could take advantage of?
Or
The security systems were really great but the attacker was simply too brilliant, everytime?

Or
The management of the big companies happened to be so arrogant that they, collectively, saw no need to educate themselves enough to understand the problem and rearrange their spending priorities to budget for experts to defend their infrastructure effectively. Short answer - dumb, arrogant, short-sighted management goofs. The usual...

Just think about the heartbleed bug or other leaks that open up doors.
It's mostly those a hacker uses, because the longer it takes you mashing in doors on a server, the longer they have time to find you. 
Also, big companys often don't give a sh about professional security. Most times it's okay if they encrypt customer data, if it gets stolen nobody can decrypt (hahaha).

MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Truth of the matter is that security is really difficult to get correct, all the time, consistently, and ALWAYS will be.
Also, most users are idiots, and should never be allowed to work with sensitive materials/systems that need security in the first place.

Is it more important that I believe you have a heartbeat than I have a heartbeat ?

If the mystics who preach that we, collectively, create the reality we experience from the maelstrom of potentiality that is Maya by our beliefs, what happens to your heartbeat if a majority of us cease to believe in its reality? Do you cease to exist, or do they?

Another view is that the nature of that reality we don't see, because we are projections of it, is ceaseless change and transformation between opposites; is it as likely that the heartbeat is also created by a heartbeat reality, one that can (while we are comatose, or in deep sleep) not be perceived by us, yet exists (or, so we believe, or predict on the basis of experience and social consensus ?
These words by Giordano Bruno (eviscerated alive, then burned at the stake in 1600), and his other writings, his heliocentric astronomical beliefs, and teachings, were reasons he was convicted of heresy (he refused to recant, and, so, was condemned to be burned alive) are interesting:Quote: “The beginning, middle, and end of the birth, growth, and perfection of whatever we behold is from contraries, by contraries, and to contraries; and whatever contrariety is, there is action and reaction, there is motion, diversity, multitude, and order, there are degrees, succession and vicissitude.”

 Being a student of the Western Esoteric Tradition, e.g. a first degree mystic, I give you ten out of ten for that.

A heartbeat is, and is not.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

yep, but, a heartbeat has rhythm; if it loses the beat, your are not well.

What does
return
{
a: "hello"
};
return?
(See A Collection of JavaScript Gotchas[^] for a hint.
I love finding something new about something I thought I understood.

doesn't it return?! 
{
a: "hello"
}
The only confusion I can foresee is about what is this for the returned object...
Gotta read your link for hint on the trap!

The followup question is:
What does this return?
return {
a: "hello"
}

Exactly.
Now try
return
{
a: "hello"
}
instead of
return {
a: "hello"
}
and let me know the difference.

Yes, that's Javascrupt for ya!

...and this is why JavaScript needs to be retired in its current form. It's simply too loose a language.

Wow, so mere spacing can make a difference? Wtf! How do they even minify this with any expectation of consistency?

Nah, we just need to deprecate ASI. The community already shuns it, and I'm sure no one would bemoan its loss. Lots of JS devs are already fine with sticking 'use strict'; in all of their code. Let's just leverage that as a flag to tell the JS engine to turn it off.
