When Win10 came out, we had several meetings about privacy concerns. I did not understand the concern. Smart phones spy on their users all the time, and no one really cares. Why, all of a sudden, is it an issue when desktops/laptops do

Standard Makefiles are really under appreciated today. They are simple and can be used with most any language, version controlled and have been around for decades.

Years ago, I bought an old Sun Netra server from ebay. It had the original OS and apps still installed. Before installing OpenBSD, I changed the root password and looked around. It had customer data from a large, well-known online company.

> Aside: I'm really frustrated by the advice to validate all input... It begs the question: validate for what? If your software asks users to input their age, to validate that, you would discard any input not in the set 0123456789,

It seems pretty bold and visionary to me. They've lucked out with gmail, chrome, golang, android, maps, etc. and they still have the best search in the world. Having a HIPPO tell everyone what to do, how to do it and when is not vision

Use large, well-regarded open source code/projects. They are easy to find. Prefer ones with ISO standards (C, C++, etc.) where possible. Other, non iSO, projects are reputable as well (Go, Python, etc.) but may be influenced more by ve

Great advice. Everyone needs to understand this fundamental fact about software. It's all about lock-in and control (no matter the vendor). This is the primary reason I only use open source programming languages (preferably ones with I

C is the Mike Tyson of programming languages. There will never be another like it. It's simple, dangerous and fast. You can't beat C, but everyone will keep trying. It may beat itself in the end though as it's too rough for t
