A better solution - than to imaging what it MIGHT be like - is to look at cities that *DO* live on the water. Check out the river gypsies in Cambodia and Vietnam and see how they do it.
So...we're measuring a language's security by the applications that were written in it?
Anyone else have an issue with this?
I call BS. You can NOT measure the language's security via the applications written it in. You MIGHT be able to gauge a languages popularity given the number of applications written for it (I do). You MIGHT be able to determine the effectiveness of a language *IF* you take the number of applications with vulnerabilities and divide that by the total number of applications written in that language.
I have to second this option. Java isn't "dying"...it's 2020's Cobol.
It'll be around for at least the next 10-20 years. (There's that much code based of Java out there)
But Java has been dying for years. Applets died a long time ago. JSP and Servlets are pretty much dead in favor of using a JavaScript front-end and a proper application back-end. JDBC will continue to hold java for a number of years...but watch as other languages start taking it's place. Hell, Docker killed Java's last remaining strength - write once, run anywhere. With Docker, everywhere became X86-64bit.
I can't think of any excuse that would actually excuse that, and "doing it to save some child's life" is flat out unbelievable.
He brings in his kid because there's a specialist at the hospital that can help.
Others at the hospital look at his kid - refuse to send the kid the specialist. When he tries to get his kid back, they accuse him of child abuse and take his kid.
I predicted that ending net neutrality would kill cable ISPs.
We're getting closer.
Frontier just admitted it wants to charge Google and NetFlix more to send their content through. We can pretty much assume at this point that they'll slow transmission rates of Google and NetFlix traffic if they don't get it.
And this is the death kneel for Frontier and others.
Because if Frontier is allowed to slow...(effectively stop) transmission of Google and NetFlix traffic....then Google and NetFlix can slow (effectively stop) transmissions of their traffic to Frontier.
Google has already invested in backbone and last mile data (Google Fiber). There is NOTHING that would prevent Google from opening Fiber in Frontier's largest (most profitable) markets and slowly Frontier traffic to a crawl.
In fact...Frontier is DEMANDING that Google be allowed to do this.
Frontier hasn't realized that NO ONE buys Frontier access to view Frontier content.
They increased it in 2015 from what, 0.25 to 0.5? Then They increased in twice to 1 in what, 2016? Twice again in 2017 to 1.5? And now it's 2 with more increases expected already? Enjoy.
For example, Facebook recently banned [conservative blogger and political candidate] Avi Yemini for âHate Speechâ(TM), won't tell him why he was banned, and denied his appeal. (You can view the banned page here.)
Except that facebook is a private entity. Just like Free Republic and TreeHouse and lots of other sites.
But someone...ahem...want to control facebook...and say what they can allow on their site and what they can't.
I always find it valuable to evaluate the advice first; then see whom it came from.
Let's look at his advice:
Add static code analysis even to legacy code.
Frankly I think static code analysis is always worth doing. It's a way of doing automated "apply learned lessons from someone else". Yes, there may be false positives - but you'll quickly uncover code smells.
Change to modern languages.
I think this one is also a no-brainer. I used to do Fortran...switched to C/C++. Switched to Java. About to switch again.
Absolutely correct. Paul Ryan is a hack, but this whole incident demonstrates the unaccountable, absurd, over the top craziness of the regime. NO PARTY or person should wield this power. The time has come to abolish the FBI.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 - Months after the Sept. 11 attacks, President Bush secretly authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on Americans and others inside the United States to search for evidence of terrorist activity without the court-approved warrants ordinarily required for domestic spying, according to government officials.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that. I won't be holding my breath for a chant...any chant...of lock him up.

I don't expect C# to do well either.
Well, if a person has X and Y...they could be male...
then again...they could birth a child.

I suspect that there are a lot - but most people keep their religion fairly quiet.
That said, Matz (Yukihiro Matsumoto - Ruby creator) is a Latter-Day Saint if I recall correctly.
Why does the "Daughter of the President" have an office in the White House.
Does anyone else remember Chelsea having an office in the White House? How about Sasha or Malia Ann?
You will stand for the national anthem, not kneel.
(Look to JK Rowling's recent tweets about Trump and remember than 1984 had lots of camera)
Let me tell you something. You can ALWAYS find another job. You can NEVER replace time lost with your family.

Up until now the Fed has been keeping the interest rate VERY low. They're already indicated they're going to increase it. CPI in a lagging indicator.

But try that with FreeRepublic or others...and...
Sure, sure....

Damn I love your post.
the real advantage is: when your boss comes up to you and asks about a bug...."No, no" That's a chaff bug...honest.
child's-play. Try Billions.
Last project involved cloud-computers where we processed a BILLION USD every year (credit card payments)
And you're ALWAYS trusting a 3rd party. You own IT guys or cloud. Doesn't matter.
What DOES matter is backups and fail-overs. (These guys NEEDED a proper failover)
Of course.
Hell, everything can be done in go can be done assembler and it's faster (execution).
But it won't be faster to write/debug. (Maybe you like to roll your own unit test and benchmarks, but I don't want to)

No...the funny part is that the party of "free enterprise" is constantly complaining that PERCEIVED_SLIGHT="they want to run their company their way".
Minor nit. There were a lot of solid Blues who voted for Bernie and whom did NOT vote for Clinton.
and....I don't care.
Can they program? What kewl things did they hack?
This is not a dating site. This is a tech conference. Get with the program.

So....if you use bogus material to get a warrant....um...that's bad, m'kay.
However, not even bothering to get a warrant....um....well...that's okay.
