I stopped posting here a while ago and went to that place where the skies are blue.

@SeanTrende I cancelled today because it no longer provided value to me. It's a valid "take" for me.
English

Just cancelled my subscription to the @washingtonpost. Democracy may die in the darkness, but journalism dies when you continue to layoff reporters. I was on the bubble for not renewing when Bezos spiked the paper's endorsement of Harris; this week was the final straw.

So I got slightly annoyed with Visual Studio not being able to remember which Android device was being used for debugging and decided to hit the .csproj.user file with a PowerShell-shaped stick...

@fidexcode Second sign of a bad developer: thinking light mode has anything to do with skill.
If you have astigmatism or are past 40, it's easier to read.
Bright backgrounds shrink your pupils, increase depth of field, and reduce blur. It’s biology, not a code smell.

@KarenPayneMVP Every now and then, I run the Coding Font Tournament (codingfont.com) to see if my tastes change

@mkristensen @NealCuliner I agree with @NealCuliner, very quick in Rider to see which files have been modified and which ones are not yet tracked by the VCS
English

@mkristensen Visual notifications are nice, but not that one. If the file is in a VCS and has not been modified, don't use a symbol. Only show a symbol when the file is modified or is not in the VCS. That makes it more obvious to the user.

@DiBellasSubs Sorry, I threw out the receipt yesterday. I ordered a 7" tuna sub from your Latham NY location. I usually order online, but I walked in yesterday and lunch time and placed the order. It will be on my credit card statement.
English

@anotherlab Hello Chris, we're sorry to see that your sub was not made with care! Please message us with your order details so we can make this right and share your feedback with our team.
English

Ordered a tuna sub from @DiBellasSubs to take back to my office. It looks like it had exploded, but not in the good way. There was as much tuna on the outside of the sub as they had placed inside it. And the roll was only sliced halfway through. Tasty though...

@PreetBharara What's your take on Interim U.S. Attorney Sarcone removing the Albany @TimesUnion from his office's media distribution list after they started asking questions about his listing an abandoned building as his address to meet residency requirements for NY's Northern District?

@dotMorten How long do you think those two will be able work together before the public tantrums start?
English

@dotMorten I've never understood the reason for that

@ederbond @davidortinau That is what I use. I was looking for information for a discussion I was having regarding training tools and supporting developers using MAUI on the Mac
New York, USA 🇺🇸 English

@davidortinau @anotherlab Just use VS 2022 on windows♥️. Much better experience than VS for Mac or VS code.
English

Does anyone know the percentage of #DotNETMAUI developers who are using a Mac as their primary device to write and debug the code?

Please share this far and wide. As far and wide as you can. NIST Password Guidelines for 2024 are in the process of being updated.
This is a HUGE pet-peeve of mine (when vendors in particular are still operating like its 2017 and keep changing passwords every 60 days, STOP DOING THIS, it's outdated and has been shown to put you MORE at risk than less -- NIST explains why it does in this document, meticulously outlining user behavior**) so I'm sharing this in the hopes all of you will pass it along to your bosses.
The Special Publication series governing passwords is SP 800-63 "Digital Identity Guidelines".
The 2024 version is 800-63-4.
Here: pages.nist.gov/800-63-4/
The companion docs are also on that link. They are 800-63A, 800-63B and 800-63C. These are different documents for different scenarios in play at your org.
The previous update was in2020.
The changes in the 2020 version from the 2017 version were numerous but one of them was that the password verification method should NO LONGER require passwords be changed at specific intervals (i.e. every 60 days) but in the following circumstances instead:
1. After a breach/compromise
2. User request
2024 repeats this and adds a bunch more guidlines but here is a screenshot of page 13 of the new 800-63-4 (note the # 4 after it) which outlines how your systems should now and moving forward, be handling passwords.
This goes for Active Directory, too. All your systems which have passwords should align with these guidelines provided there isn't another standard or framework you must adhere to which overrules this.
Most frameworks, however, have moved away from arbitrary password resets and complexity rules.
**We cybersec researchers and hackers use wordlists from breaches in a variety of different ways. Hackers use them in tooling to crack passwords whereas researchers use breach dumps to see the kinds of passwords users are creating and the psychology behind them.
Using complexity rules gets you the user psychology of:
Password1
Password2
and so on
Use phrasing instead and allow for spaces, which is important. Humans type phrases with spaces. They also mention phish-resistant methods and most vendors are on-board with MS going to be turning off all Legacy Auth next month, across all free accounts and tenancies.
I'm so excited for the new changes!
Ok I'm off my soapbox.
Share the love! Thank you!
