The two are completely district languages. Kind of like comparing Java with JavaScript.

I'm sure in general Microsoft would love to scrap VB in Excel but there's too many companies that run entire areas of business on it, or the whole business itself.

It is the typical legacy/back compat problem. Python or even Powershell would be a vast improvement, but you're going against billions in sunk cost/skills/knowledge.

VB.Net was slowly losing popularity, VB in Excel isn't.

Google has gone the opposite direction.

I feel like throwing everything behind a VPN and pretending it is secure is a crux.

Several famous break-ins over the last ten years have hypothetically been on the inside of that wall.

Better to isolate services from each other limiting cross service jumping, than to build security around a single point of failure.

Last week we had this exact issue.

We added an iPad and tried to purchase something, but the only card on file was long since expired and thrown away.

But in order to verify the account we had to enter the card's digits, which we did not have, and we couldn't add a new card because we hadn't verified the old one.

In other words we were stuck. Had to contact Apple support. Took several days to resolve.

Depressingly every place I've worked has had policies against Easter Eggs.

I guess it is part of becoming a more professional industry. It we did add an Easter Egg it would likely need a spec, docs, owner, and code review.

Kind of like the AT&T "hack" wherein just changing the url leaked other customers info.

They were still successfully prosecuted though. And AT&T received no punishment.

When a company says jump the USG asks how high.

AMP is built on Google's CDN, and the standard is controlled by Google for Google's own self interests.

It being "open source" or not kind of misses the bigger picture. If Google had any interest in AMP being a web standard they would have sent the spec out, and helped fund a neutral org to run it.

And then a second crash occurred where they followed Boeing's procedure, it didn't work, were forced to diverge and then crashed.

Boeing's procedure only works if you catch it quickly. If you let MCAS trim the aircraft too much it is difficult to recover, particularly at low altitude.

Mechanical keyboards require deeper compression and are thus the opposite of what you want. They'll worsen strain.

Have you checked your chair/table height, monitor height, and are you placing both feet on the floor? You might be able to mitigate this without buying things.

That's commentary. We can reasonably speculate they were looking at warnings and the flight log, autopilot is only one part of the flight director and as autopilot was never turned back on, pointing at it seems odd.

If the client hashes the password then the hash itself is the password. Meaning stealing the hashes passwords is the same as stealing the plain text password for which they're based, since you can post them direct.

Blizzard entertainment does half client half server hashing which is rather clever, one of the few examples where client hashing makes sense.

Firefox on mobile or PC? I haven't experienced that on PC.

Honestly Microsoft's hardware has been a rocky road. I own a Surface Pro 3 and Surface Book, and in both cases they were unstable for almost six months until receiving firmware and driver updates.

After they were patched they've been stable as a rock and "just work." But it has felt like Microsoft shipped half baked hardware.

Plus while Windows 10 is stable, it feels like a moving target with large feature patches that also don't always feel fully baked.

In-spite of the above I really like Microsoft's hardware and oddly would recommend it. It is definitely heading in a good direction, but isn't up to the height of Apple's "just works" period (which I don't believe we're still in).

Varies by studio but some do.

It is Android. So yes.

They never said it was, they said that's why IE11 remains popular.
