techrights-sec[2] | The core of the problem is that bytes were misused as being synonymous with | Oct 27 15:32 |
techrights-sec[2] | characters back in the day. Now 20+ years later, we are still dealing with | Oct 27 15:32 |
techrights-sec[2] | the cruft and legacy. | Oct 27 15:32 |
techrights-sec[2] | The good part in the TM work flow is that the problems have nearly all been | Oct 27 15:32 |
techrights-sec[2] | in the last step or very close to it. Most importantly of all the data has | Oct 27 15:32 |
techrights-sec[2] | been getting into the database in the correct encoding. So far. | Oct 27 15:32 |
techrights-sec[2] | Not enough time is spent in most projects to remove or clean up old code. | Oct 27 15:32 |
techrights-sec[2] | There are a lot of merits to even "just" updating to the current writing style | Oct 27 15:32 |
techrights-sec[2] | because old mistakes will surface through that process. However, in the | Oct 27 15:32 |

techrights-sec[2] | to slowly destroy the project from within on behalf of the "donor" Google | Oct 27 15:33 |
techrights-sec[2] | Not just data loss but financial loss since HTML mail in general and web mail | Oct 27 15:33 |
techrights-sec[2] | in particular make it not just feasible but easy to phish at the same time | Oct 27 15:33 |
techrights-sec[2] | it makes it all but impossible to avoid phishing other than by acting on | Oct 27 15:33 |
techrights-sec[2] | hunches or clues because all the real information is hidden. Beyond hiding, | Oct 27 15:33 |
techrights-sec[2] | your old friend javascript can be used to obfuscate the true destination | Oct 27 15:33 |

matteobin | I use mutt: it's old and it rocks. So does email. Who cares if it's old? | Oct 27 15:39 |
techrights-sec[2] | theory: | Oct 27 15:41 |
techrights-sec[2] | people who cannot master "old" things try to impose "new" on the elders | Oct 27 15:42 |
matteobin | Maybe | Oct 27 15:43 |
matteobin | But I'm not old. | Oct 27 15:43 |
matteobin | I'm 27. I was born when mutt was created. | Oct 27 15:43 |
schestowitz-TR2 | reasons to like simpler tools: | Oct 27 15:43 |
schestowitz-TR2 | 1) they don't change too much | Oct 27 15:44 |
schestowitz-TR2 | 2) archiving can be simpler, portability too | Oct 27 15:44 |
schestowitz-TR2 | I still use Palm PDA of the old generation | Oct 27 15:44 |
matteobin | Indeed | Oct 27 15:44 |
schestowitz-TR2 | "modern" stuff changes too fast and too often | Oct 27 15:44 |
schestowitz-TR2 | even wordpress | Oct 27 15:44 |
schestowitz-TR2 | because of imaginiary users | Oct 27 15:44 |
schestowitz-TR2 | they say they make it easier for "n00bs" | Oct 27 15:45 |
matteobin | Life's short and hard. There is no value in learning new shiny tools if it's not really worth it. | Oct 27 15:45 |
schestowitz-TR2 | but actually they tend to further complicate the UI | Oct 27 15:45 |
schestowitz-TR2 | and.. | Oct 27 15:45 |
matteobin | Damn noobs! :D | Oct 27 15:45 |
schestowitz-TR2 | they make ito harder for people who trained for the old UI | Oct 27 15:45 |

matteobin | Sometimes I fear to be paranoid or mad. | Oct 27 16:12 |
schestowitz-TR2 | he wrote many other good articles | Oct 27 16:12 |
schestowitz-TR2 | that you can find in TR | Oct 27 16:12 |
matteobin | At least I'm not the only one. | Oct 27 16:13 |
schestowitz-TR2 | no, i am the same | Oct 27 16:13 |
schestowitz-TR2 | techrights-sec[2] also | Oct 27 16:13 |
matteobin | I should definetely change job. | Oct 27 16:13 |

schestowitz-TR2 | they're pioured out mustard all over the steak | Oct 27 16:13 |
matteobin | Indeed. I've recently started learning C, reading The C Programming Language and it's so much better. | Oct 27 16:14 |
matteobin | I'm touched by its simplicity yet its usefulness. | Oct 27 16:15 |

schestowitz-TR2 | he hates swpats | Oct 27 16:21 |

schestowitz-TR2 | I adopted it when I was 14 or 13 | Oct 27 16:21 |

schestowitz-TR2 | you can still use this channel with an old clunker from the 1980s | Oct 27 16:24 |
schestowitz-TR2 | and the site with 1990s browsers | Oct 27 16:24 |
matteobin | It's so refreshing to talk with people like you, really. It's hard to be the only "strange" IT guy. | Oct 27 16:24 |
matteobin | Even my friends think I'm kind of mad. | Oct 27 16:25 |
schestowitz-TR2 | no, we are not few | Oct 27 16:25 |
schestowitz-TR2 | many like us | Oct 27 16:25 |
matteobin | They don't understand, they usually think in shorterm. | Oct 27 16:25 |
schestowitz-TR2 | but the media discards us | Oct 27 16:25 |
schestowitz-TR2 | we're not good for its advertisers | Oct 27 16:25 |
schestowitz-TR2 | I'm a c programmer also | Oct 27 16:25 |
matteobin | Nice! | Oct 27 16:26 |
schestowitz-TR2 | it's not the only domain where the people who know the trade reject a lot of its products | Oct 27 16:26 |
schestowitz-TR2 | as insufficiency good | Oct 27 16:26 |
matteobin | You're right. | Oct 27 16:26 |
schestowitz-TR2 | those who follow the herd out of insecurity are ill informed | Oct 27 16:26 |
schestowitz-TR2 | because they are ill-equipped to know the impact | Oct 27 16:26 |

schestowitz-TR2 | (card, loyalty card, credit card) | Oct 27 16:27 |

schestowitz-TR2 | that is how they used to do it | Oct 27 16:28 |
schestowitz-TR2 | before "clown computing" hype | Oct 27 16:29 |
schestowitz-TR2 | like you are left behind if you don't outsource all your systems | Oct 27 16:29 |
schestowitz-TR2 | were were there before | Oct 27 16:29 |
schestowitz-TR2 | ICBM mainframes | Oct 27 16:29 |

schestowitz-TR2 | and the media cannot stop this | Oct 27 16:32 |
schestowitz-TR2 | nor can I | Oct 27 16:32 |
schestowitz-TR2 | because they are fed up with colonial economy | Oct 27 16:33 |
