Looks like lots of people’s year end bonuses were contingent on them releasing something related to AI by the end of the year.

This is one of the things I talk about when people ask what the difference is between junior and senior developers.

A lot of security is just box-checking. A lot of it is hypothetical and relies on attackers exploiting a chain of multiple bugs that they probably won’t ever find…. But you still gotta fix it.

There’s no point in being so proud of your code and dismissing security concerns because you’re arrogant enough to think it can’t happen to you. Just learn to fix it and move on with your life.

famously lack class consciousness

How much money do you suppose the average OpenAI employee makes? What class do you imagine they’re part of?

Social media is not to blame. The people using it are.

Didn’t Facebook try that for a while too?

“I could rewrite this in a week!”

Several couples have selected the “divorce” option and passed those lamps on in the intervening years. You’re next, bub.

Given the year, this probably came from one of those “Playboy lite” men’s magazines that were popular at the time, like Maxim or FHM.

Later on when I want to look productive I’ll delete all those printfs then pay myself on the back for committing a lot of code changes that sprint and for reducing our log storage costs by 75%

Value watching is just printf; change my mind

Is gmail still considered beta?

I appreciate the quick hack, but with a little more foresight you could have just put up a blurry jpeg with that number and changed the prompt so it looks like a CAPTCHA. Nobody would have given it a second thought.

“oops”

Could have just as easily said it would have been “much worse” without fossil fuels.

When soaring temperatures and demand for cooling led to a peak in Sicilian power demand on 24 July, nearly half of the excess demand - which totalled 1.3 GW - was covered by solar, Refinitiv data show.

So basically wherever the 1.3 GW of capacity came from (could be a bolt of lightning, or some Libyan plutonium, for example), it would have been much worse if they didn’t have it.

• Installs antivirus on servers that wrecks application performance
• installs content filtering proxy that prevents developers from reading “hacking materials” like OWASP documentation
• won’t let developers install anything on their own machines without filing a ticket and waiting 6 weeks
• pushes unannounced antivirus updates that pop up OS security dialogs like “Netscan Antivirus would like to monitor all network traffic. Enter your password to approve”, and is surprised when users don’t enter their passwords.

The BBC is also letting Unilever’s Russian employees be conscripted.

4 years later: “this button is the wrong color. fix it ASAP”

console.log counts as “a debugger”, right?
