Many industry professionals ignore or are unaware of known attack vectors. Meanwhile, many schools do teach a semblance. Given how young and emotion-driven the field is, a sweeping statement like this is useless. If security is remotely c

Strange article trying to extrapolate a very biased subpopulation and grasping at other aspects to claim this year was "the year of Linux on the desktop". Unix was already dominating anything non-personal and non-mobile. Personal

People are the problem in cases of entertainment. You don't need to watch only sequels or remakes, or deal with the latest broken mess made by some AAA filled with lootboxes. The options are out there still. It's a different story

It's also shortsighted. Who are the people moving out? Primarily those without money or assets to stay. People who tend to skew younger. So you drive out the younger, start a feedback loop where more young people leave, inverting the p

Can't speak for the US but here, "suit" jobs are generally held to higher regard even if the job no longer requires a suit. Fancy names and a history of good pay definitely help. If anything, IT is the outlier in "well-p

It's basically an augmenting tool. Can't rely on it 100% without a check, can't just do it without a vague idea of what the code does. As a combined boilerplate + search assistant it takes crazy amounts of work away as long a

Twitter is both. The records hop from 'left wing bias' to 'right wing bias' over and over. Plus, the internet skews left-progressive, which makes even centrist views seem right-conservative. For every case of ACAB you ca

People did in fact have a problem with Twitter too. It's just more obvious for Musk since 1) he prioritized himself over doing a more general sweep including more than what affects him alone and 2) he has been obnoxiously vocal for mul
