so the spoofer distributing these devices is going to all this trouble/expense/risk in the hope there is a http downloaded exe it can corrupt, then hopes the hashing doesn't fail on that corrupt exe, and hopes the user…
it might redirect to a malicious web page, but https would still prevent a problem. perhaps read the article you posted.
I don't see how this 'man' in the middle could actually intercept passwords, except for http, but who runs auth over http anyway. For https, the 'man' would have to substitute its own certificate and then the browser /…
Analogies are good at explaining difficult to understand concepts but shouldn't be used to arrive at decisions or axioms. Each situation or argument should be evaluated on its own. In other words, whilst the jazz…
Spidey sense didn't detect these problems then?
As always, it depends. Personally I have been working for a corporation where we use a microservice approach and it has been great for productivity, turn around times on projects, and the systems/services are quite easy…
I call it TDD. Trend driven development.
I scratch around passing time on the internet, but then if I'm not doing that I'm passing time watching cable tv, passing time playing chess, passing time smoking pot, passing time reading novels, passing time playing…
I read this in a drug information pamphlet a long time ago; basically it said that cocaine and heroin both bind to a different set of receptors to the other, but alcohol binds to both. Which is what makes it uniquely…
Maybe it has had its day. It influenced the mindset of the masses and is now mainstream. There is no alt anymore. Even Microsoft ships software that leverages newtonsoft.json
Yes, its generally much faster to have a quick conversation rather than reply to an email.
The blurting has no bounds. I recently had someone tell me over slack that the company is contemplating a spin-off, blurting out a few lines describing the strategy, and asked if I could get back to them on possible…
That's a great title for a self-help book. I'll read it once I finish 'How to look out the window'. It never occurred to me that obsessive email checking could be a distraction or a negative thing, but now someone has…
AV software is a great example of a cure being worse than the disease
Not a surprise to me, their HDDs are junk. I've had two burn out in work machines and one personal external burn out. I never buy their gear anymore
shouldn't he be saying i fucked up?
That blog post could pretty much apply the same arguments to itself. And who knows if Bob's experience is simply correlation not causation. Perhaps Bob is just a smart, meticulous engineer, and it wouldn't matter how he…
the necks got off their sundecks it seems
Yes, although fortunately for me my wife has become friendly with a lot of my mates' wives / girlfriends, so we still catch up when they organize things.
And quite possibly the whole system was replaced within a few years and it turned out that management were correct in not letting your team waste the organization's money trying to be purists, and probably…
I've always thought that 'debt' is a poor analogy. Systems get replaced / rewritten / superseded / thrown in the bin... all time, and that is where the debt analogy fails. Its obviously semantics, and I'm not advocating…
i don't agree that CLR vs .NET versions are confusing. .NET is the CLR plus a pile of libraries. The CLR moves slowly, the non-clr parts of .NET iterate faster. I rarely even think about the CLR version at all. It was a…
Hey, ingve. stop trolling us. you wasted 5 minutes of my life by posting this.

Excuse me, no jokes please.
