"I have a bad feeling about this..."

Just fwiw, it built and ran ok on windows 10, with tcc. 64 bit exe...

Indeed.

New federal security guidelines are taking sharper aim at the terrible passwords we all create. The guidelines instruct organizations to stop requiring people to change their passwords so often, to stop mandating that they be complex and, at the same time, to permit a wider range of special characters in passwords-including emojis.

In its latest digital-authentication guidelines, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the federal agency whose security standards shape practices across government and industry, is leaning on organizations to simplify password requirements for users. The draft guidelines-a final version is due in 2025-strengthen many positions the standards institute first took in 2017.

Activation required. Still a nice deal.

Also looks like an online account is required.

Thanks for that. Good to know I wasn't the only one...

I don't know what the future holds, but I do know that Junior devs are cheaper than senior ones. I could envision many junior devs coding (with the help of AI) and a few senior devs doing mostly code reviews.

I don't use AI, but I know an IT manager that uses it with code snippets and prompts like: "explain what this code does". He says it works great.

That seems to play into the kind of tools that would help junior devs become senior devs. But again, I really don't know. AI may fade away like pet rocks...

I think the article makes an excellent point. But it begs the question:

Are there compiler flags to disable the 'tests'? If not, it would sure be nice to have them to get the fastest 'make a change -> run test' loop. It would be the best of both worlds. (Unless the developer forgets to run the tests once in a while...)

Q: Hey, do you have a microsecond? A: I did...

That was my first thought too. Why so many partitions?

So how did the test week go? (Just curious; I couldn't find an update...)
