Didn't get a single reqeust, so this had less impact than expected. Thought there was more old rusty companies looking for a non-retired engineer.
I wanted to see what the COBOL job market looked like. So I learned the superficial basics of COBOL in a day or two, just so I wouldn't be a complete fraud when I put it into my linkedin profile as a skill to see what happens.
They got suspended sentences. The author of the article didn't do their research (probably an LLM anyway).
I thought it was pretty funny.
The courts, probably. That's what they are for.
Can anyone explain the "professional developers" percentages to me?
What's the threat model here? I can think of no DNS shennanigans that would not be detectable through the authentication mechainsms in TLS (chain-of-trust). Not having to trust network infrastructure is exactly what TLS is for.
What is it that you're doing that is still not using some form of authenticated encryption? Almost everything is https, ssh, almost all mailservers have tls support, irc does have tls support.. What's left that needs to be encrypted by a VPN?
How do you know?
I'm not sure I agree that Void is a bottom type. If so, void-functions would never be able to return/terminate. Java's void is probably more of a unit type.
Many who don't see the danger were not here in the 2000's. There are so many great technical achievements that were killed by microsoft, google or facebook EEE'ing the shit out of it. Remember jabber/xmpp? Yeah, both FB and Google implemented the protocol in their chat apps. Everyone was thrilled; I could use my jabber client to connext to fb and talk to my friends. Then they remembered there's not any money in that and killed the projects.
Even if it's good for the fediverse now, as soon as they realize they can make more money by not having to sync with other companies and organizations, they'll be out of here, leaving nothing behind like a swarm of locusts. The only defense is defederation.
