Re: She's obviously mishandled this

How so?

Re: learning to program properly

You put a dev pipeline in place and put tests around your code so you prove that it works. The language is irrelevant provided the code behaves correctly.

When you say "program properly" do you mean "program the way I'm used to"?

Re: more of a world bully.

Fuck Yeah!

re: I find it very frustrating that Twitter is somehow able to immediately label anything negative

That's because WeChat isn't Twitter.

Don't let a complete lack of knowledge of the situation stop you posting a rambling conspiracy filled message though.

Wonder where you got the idea....

I WON THIS DEBATE!!! BY A LOT!!!!!!!!!

re: Not unless someone starts investigating his son for corruption at least...

I WON THAT INVESTIGATION! BY A LOT!!!!!!!

Re: Were you stroking

At least my gun can still get hard. You're too worried about offending someone to get a hard on. I mean gun.

Re: I know I'm too old to be agile

I'm 54 and I love Agile. I worked in many places where "agile" was done badly before finding somewhere that actually made it work so I used to be as cynical as you about it.

If you can find a place to work where they understand that the business has to be agile, not just the dev team, then you stand a chance of seeing what the fuss is about!

Re: They should be fined £10,000 for being out of Tier area.

Yeah, but they needed to test their eyes.

Re: Stop it

He's a politician. That i can deal with.

Continued support for a petulant child who ignored a pandemic because it made him look bad. That's the bit that fucking baffles me.

I agree with you

but for some reason your post made me hit the downvote button.

Re: no need to thank me

Ok.

Re: I'm fairly sure Senator Lindsey Graham has received appropriate guidance regarding US laws

Is he the Senator who thinks that because you have to swear allegiance on The Bible you can't have Muslim Senators?

Yeah, I'm sure he spoke to Rudy and got the ok. "Just put the money, in a plain brown evenlope, in the garbage can round the back of the Four Seasons. No, Four Seasons Total Landscaping, idiot!!"

Re: Not just the current gov

What's special about this government and this project is the very real deadline we've chosen to leave the EU. Normally the old, pen and paper system can be kept running till they finally deliver the new one.

That won't work in January.

Re: Again best rule of thumb... don't take a swing at a cop.

Of course not.

Resistance is futile.

Re: But not so much responsibly when reporting vulnerabilities in non-Google products

Just what I came to say!

Was the author deliberately trolling or just poorly informed? Neither is a good look for a journalist.

Re: Here's hoping we see more than a slap on the wrist.

There's a first time for everything....

Re: No need to panic

Got a link to the source of that?

Re: Isn't this how the internet is supposed to work?

The problem is that the systems that detect malicious code don't scale in line with contributions.

Re: I would have more faith in a scientific test that coughing into a phone running an App

The disadvantage of the "blowing into a tube" method over the "use your phone" method is that people don't already have those tubes. A reliable phone based covid cough detector is a valuable tool and worth persuing.

Writing it off because apps are trendy seems un-scientific.

Re: the system that actually USES the XML is parsing it correctly

Your initial premise is that when you provide filtering in the firewall you use a different xml parser to your business layer. Any system that includes multiple components to do the same job has issues, wherever they are deployed. The firewall is a bit of a red herring in your example, it's the conflicting parsers that are the root of the problem.

While i appreciate the point you make this isn't as clear cut as you describe.

Re: So China unleashed hell on the world

Because if it'd manifested anywhere else it wouldn't have been spread around the world by humans?

I think your bigotry is showing......

you can't configure which browser it forces you into

I don't see why MS would release a tool that redirects IE to Firefox. If the user has firefox installed they can make it the default browser if that's what they want. I've just installed it, it asks to be default.

I don't see the issue. There are two groups of IE users. Those who like IE (bear with me, they presumably exist) for whom Edge is the logical replacement, and those who have to use IE for certain corporate reasons, they don't get to pick what browser they use.

The "unconfigurable" complaint is just slagging MS off because they're MS. People know that always goes down a storm on here, irrespective of the actual arguments.
