The categorisation you are trying to make us accept is ridiculous. I can deploy a python web application I have written to a new web server within minutes by clicking deploy in bitbucket. So using your definition: * The code is already writ

Probably but you can still have the configuration secure as default and people would be aware of the security implications when enabling insecure features.

The accepted method is convert projects to .NET standard and/or multi-target project itself. I haven't run into any issues but most of what I do is web projects, I wouldn't know if it was something like WPF.

I install PHP on my server (yeah I know) to run some PHP based web based software. By default PHP is configured in a very insecure manner. You would think with all the security problems that they would ship it with a set of secure defaults.

For the most part the situation is the same with .NET. Any code written in .NET 2.0 should work with 4.7. The newer .NET Core most stuff is now compatible and it is pretty easy to write code that is compatible. Stuff that isn't compati

No not at all. The Chelsea Russell case 17 year old girl on facebook posted rap lyrics, we also have the 'Count Dankula' case which the Scottish court decided it was "Nazi Recruitment" ignoring the context where he clear

The article is about surveillance, the STASI were known for their insane levels of surveillance. The last time I checked there was a huge number of security cameras in the UK, maybe more than any other country. Also the UK has put people in

I've seen this article before. A lot of people that are active on the internet like to assume that everyone is using the latest tech and can just use whatever tech they like. This is rarely the case. I've spent the majority of my

I suspect the bank they are talking about is most likely Nationwide. They are based in Swindon. I am quite surprised their in house tech is this bad because their online bank account is one of the better ones.

No not at all. I have seen the cleaners and have spoken to them and they are clearly women. One of them told me that she has no idea what we do, what the computers are used for and has never used a desktop pc. I doubt she is unique among he

I did no such thing! I have personally spoken to them and they have told me they have no idea how to use the desktop machines. I was simply trying to explain to my colleague who has known a world with modern computers being prevalent that t

We have some cleaners come in and they always constantly rearrange the keyboard, desk monitors etc. Which normally causes a few groans in the morning as everything has been moved. One guy was having a moan about it and I said "You know

Thanks for the info. I wasn't surprised in the least that there was something out there. I am a nomadic dev at the moment so most of my kit is locked in a warehouse and I am stuck using MacBook pro.

This is what they do on gambling websites in the UK. Similarly if you are in a Casino you will never see a clock anywhere. Also generally food and drink is pretty cheap and there is normally table service in a Casino because they want you t

This is going to be another compiz cube. It looks cool, but I doubt it will be very useful outside of showing off some cool tech. Also Valve tbh have dropped a lot of their more interesting tech. I had one of their steam links which isn&#x2
