@feast9848 @1pcornwell Never use a big word when a diminutive one will do.

@1pcornwell Defenestrate

I mean, there’s a WHOLE WORD just for throwing someone out a window.

@UK_Daniel_Card Make sure you use custom proprietary encryption!
Bonus if it’s military grade.

@mariana057 Is a paper jam anything like a forest preserve?

@robertgraham In my experience, coders don’t take security seriously. Rare is the programmer that inhabits security; 1 in 100 perhaps? Absent from college curricula is “how to code securely”, not to mention architecture. The mindset is anathema: “get it to work.” “OWASP? What’s that?”

@dieworkwear After reading several of your posts, I find I appreciate them more and more. Your positions are carefully reasoned and replies to comments are considerate and kind, even when disagreeing. It’s refreshing!

@thehelpdeskgirl It would be a neck tattoo that says

(Yes, spelled wrong)

@MalwareJake Jake, I’m so sorry you had to go through this; it sucks. (Glad it wasn’t your spleen, appendix or a kidney stone!) It almost feels like you’re gonna die….until it settles down.

@lorenzofb My first thought was Black Rock, around Labor Day.

Should be nice around that time of year.

I’m imagining a future where AI tears society apart to the point that stand alone computing is the only option, and we can’t get patches or updates for anything smart, we just keep swapping parts out like the Cubans did for cars during the embargo years.

I like my chili like I like my self.

Artistic and creative. Contemporary yet deep and complex. Appearing as banal to the apathetic yet shockingly novel to the curious.

I identify with this chili.

@DanielMiessler It’s cliche, but “Don’t attribute to malice that which is better explained by incompetence” even?

I have thought so many times of time travel

Could I actually convince someone to do something different if I was there at the time ?

Like Microsoft: “I know it’s painful, but separate your control and data planes. You’ll thank me later”
