To be funny, a joke requires a grain of truth. Absurdity alone doesn’t make a good joke.

The majority of aircraft pilot fatalities occur in crashes of privately owned planes and helicopters rather than on regularly scheduled commercial jet aircraft.

By the way, most deaths aren’t reported on the news.
It is so frustrating when a conspiracy narrative is mixed with valid criticism, which ultimately only taints the criticism by association with the “conspiracy.”
I guess it cannot be done if their IT infrastructure was not designed with that use case in mind. Although I’m not familiar with human resource management software, I don’t find this hard to believe at all.
Also, you’ll understand what Biron Tchaikovsky meant with “Please believe me” when you look at their email address. They already tried to do it, and probably complained many times before giving up.
Oh, didn’t the domain somesoftwarecorp.com
give it away?
Iframes cannot access the main frame’s DOM if the iframe is from a different origin than the main frame, and they never share the same JavaScript execution context, so an iframe can’t access the main frame’s variables etc.
It’s not required that iframes run in a different process, but I think they do at least in Chrome and Firefox if they’re from a different origin. Also, iframes with the sandbox
attribute have a number of additional restrictions, which can be individually disabled when needed.
They still have their place; for example to embed Google Maps or a YouTube video. Generally, whenever you want to embed something from a different website you have no control over, that shouldn’t inherit your style sheets, and should be sandboxed to prevent cross site scripting attacks.
Sure, but raw pointers and unsafe Rust are still covered in the official learning material, so I assume that most Rust devs know about raw pointers.
We have pointers in Rust, too :) see documentation
Microsoft does collect a lot of data. But storing every keystroke is first of all impractical, because it would take a lot of disk space to store every keystroke of every user, and secondly not very useful unless they also knew when, in which application, and in what context each key was pressed.
Fully agree with what you said. There are still just as many passionate people fascinated by computers in the youngest generation as there are in older generations. It’s just that the sheer number of programmers has made them less visible in recent years.
Also, one thing the article misses is that programming 8 hours a day and then continuing to program in your spare time is not healthy for many people. People are different, and there are some who can do it without negative consequences, but for others it can lead to burnout, especially if they also have a family to take care of or other issues to deal with. I used to do a lot of programming in my spare time when I was in college. Now that I have a 40-hour-a-week job, I’ve learned that I need to be careful how much energy I spend, and I don’t do as much open source work because I need a lot of my free time to rest and recharge.
My Fairphone is 4 years old, it has been dropped on the floor (even hard surfaces like rocks and asphalt) countless times. It still works and looks like new. It has a protective cover that covers the edges, but not the screen or the back. It still survived all these years without a scratch.
