Do you have a citation? Every year I get a new load of CS degree students who can tell me what a nondeterministic automaton is, but don't know how to write a PR or write/maintain code in project longer than 1000 lines.

Another reason rotation is bad is because it put undo burden on the user. You're now combining the unneeded burden of password rotation with the unneeded burden of a randomly generated password for a user to remember. Of course, by rem

Most of these policies boil down to regulations or compliance. The financial industry, ironically, is a huge propagator of antiquated security controls. We all knew that the controls were bad, but we had to use them

The difference is that the Daily Show looked and acted like a traditional news show, which of course, was part of the parody. No one has ever confused the JRE for that.

I like the JRE. I like that he listens to everyone and engages with them. The world could do with more of that rather than this tribalism shit. On one of his recent podcasts, he supports fox news keeping it's guests from specific no-no
