Today's software engineering world is so averse to training people it rarely considers searching for a veteran software engineer and letting him come up to speed on random techs.
Not to put too fine a point on it but that's your own responsibility, not the company you work for.
Only if you are a contractor. Otherwise, the answer is no.
You assume that Javascript is front-end That is no longer the case
Irrelevant to the topic at hand, JQuery (and front web development specifically which is the article's theme.)
This is like having a discussion on C/C++'s direct memory management and then drop a retort saying "you can get automatic garbage collection" with a link to Microsoft's C++/CX. #duh
OpenSSL has added protection for TLS clients by rejecting handshakes with DH parameters shorter than 768 bits. This limit will be increased to 1024 bits in a future release.
Good. But it doesn't go far enough. How about some kind of deprecation warning if DH is using any well known prime number?
What prime number that is known or effectively computable for DH is not well known? Maybe I'm missing something here.
What stops you from patching your machine in your own time?
Budgets, schedules, coordination with other 24/7 services that depend on it, etc, etc. If it is a single isolated system, then yeah, it's trivial. When we are talking about production and test environments with dozens (or even more) systems, then it is not just a matter of working "own your own time." This gets worse when there are systems that heavily utilize SSL.
Any such upgrade requires some type of basic regression testing of said systems outside of the typical testing schedules associated to development. And that brings up pulling resources from somewhere else to do the testing.
It is almost never our own time alone.
Unfortunately in this world with change control, number of systems affected, testers that need to be lined up, business stakeholder notified of outage if any etc means that unless a security issue is out in the wild your are not going to deploy it. By having regular predictable releases you can organise regular pre-approved changes etc.
Hans
And how do you schedule predicable zero-day security patches, for instance?
There's a difference between having the capacity for the moral depravity and incompetence needed to be a politician
What a load of meaningless crock. I'm sure it makes up for one hell of a slogan. Meaningless, but certainly attention-grabbing for the purpose of rhetorical posturing. Congratulations.
They don't have clean drinking water but they have a space program? I think their brains are refried.
Yeah, because everyone in the US has access to clean water. I could take you down a trip in the South if you want some examples. #rollseyes.
Not everything is Mexico is backwards, just as not everything in the US is of a 1st world quality. Talking about talking shit just for the sake of it.
The legal profession has embraced electronic signatures. At my work we use DocuSign for the majority of contracts with our vendors.
Not all participants in the legal profession have embraced e-sigs. For example, my wife and I needed to get a power-of-attorney (POA) so that I could a home purchase deal while she was out of the country. That was just a week ago. And the POA was required to be signed, in blue ink, before taking it to the court house.
Even in real estate, there are participants who, for one reason or another, still demand sigs. For the same property we are trying to close, the seller (a trust) required us to use ink signatures, which we found it very unusual since we have been doing e-sigs for ages.
For as long as someone demands an ink signature for something someone else wants, and there are now laws demanding e-signatures to be accepted when offered, we are going to have ink sigs. And that is going to be the case for a long, long time to come.
Cue young earth creationists claiming this dinosaur was intelligently designed 5000 years ago.
Sigh.
Some of them already claim that soft tissue discoveries proved that dinosaurs were recent. IIRC it was listed in the "creationist rigs search results" article a week or two ago.
Of course, there's a pending religious schism between those who claim all the dinos died in the flood, those who claim that they were saved by Noah and died later, and those who say they never existed at all (the fossils being planted by God to make sure no eviloutionists believe the bible).
You forget the existing religious schism which pits creationists vs those who accept evolution. This is something that completely baffles me, creationism, since I came to the US 26 years ago.
Creationism is hardly a form of thought in the rest of Christendom, but it is so dominant in the US. How can this country who has achieved so much have so many troglodyte-thinking people?
My grandma back in my country, who has never left her little mountain town and who only completed elementary education accepts evolution (scientists say so, I don't understand it, but they do, because they studied a lot, so it must be true, that is what she says.)
The level of willful stupidity in this country boggles the mind.
Socialism has made many promises it cannot keep. Capitalism promises nothing, but can generate much more wealth.
1. Germany is not socialist. If you bring socialism in the context of comparing Germany with the US, you are an ignorant ass.
2. Socialism, capitalism, blah blah. You don't know what the hell you are talking about.
Seriously, get the hell out of whatever hole you live in, travel the US, and then travel the world. Then talk.
Which do you prefer? Freedom, Higher risks and higher reward? No risk, less freedom, but a lower standard of living?
Socialism has made many promises it cannot keep. Capitalism promises nothing, but can generate much more wealth.
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. And to in my experience end up giving up liberty AND security.
What a load of bullshit. See, here in the US, sadly we have waaaaay too many freedom-fries folks who think they are Daniel Boom or some shit, but in reality they are just some variant of Beavis and Butthead.
Any argument they make, they drop the word "freedom" and voila, in their minds, that makes it valid. They don't even know what the fuck freedom is, or whether they truly have it. What comes out of their mouth are not reasons, but fucking slogans.
They go about their lives building these black-n-white, freedom-or-else as if the world operated in that way, because, according to their experience that's how it is (and one has to wonder what type of first-hand experience they have on the subject.)
They claim evidence that the corruption was carried out on US soil using US banks. That's better reasoning to me than "Fifa is multinational and under no one's jurisdiction" as they will claim.
But frankly the fact the US isn't completely obsessed with the sport like some other nations will go a long way to keep things impartial. If fifa threatens to ban the US from world cup consideration you can expect a very heartfelt "oh darn" as a response and the investigation will continue.
By the FCPA, they wouldn't even need to claim that the corruption took place on US soils and/or using US banks. All it takes is either a US national or legal resident, or US company or US-based subsidiary of a foreign company (Traffic Sports USA) to engage in bribery of foreign officials, or be bribed by foreign officials. Bribery and being bribed by foreign officials is the hallmark of FIFA, and that organization pretty much screwed itself up the moment it established links with US companies.
So this is all about the US getting the 1994 World Cup through bribery?
I'll answer in the affirmative to satisfy your supposition.
... unfortunately the penny arcade crowd is going to tear it down in their endless, nihilistic pursuit for yet another reason to be upset or whatever.
Are we to get some deep meaning from this spew of faux witticism?
We got your reply, what more can we ask?
According to the CIA World Factbook, Trinidad and Tobago has a population of about 1.2 million people, or about the size of Dallas, TX. Not exactly a huge place population wise - only 159th in the World.
But since its quality of development (and the discussion herein) centers in its GDP per capita, it kind of doesn't matter a flying turd if its population is just 1.2 mills, does it?
"Liberal racist fucker"? It's the LIBERALS that are racists now? LOL.
Oh yes, they can be. Should I provide you with examples? Now, I have no dog in this fight as of who is better or worse, liberals or conservatives. But anyone who thing racism is strictly a non-liberal trait is full of shit.
