Save Your Computer

I have the worst luck. I’ve broken five computers and four laptops but I’ve finally learnt my lesson. After losing my work so many times, I have been great at rewriting because I’d never backed anything up. Take it from me:

Even if you backup your work in one external source from your computer, back it up online or in as many places as you can

Back up according to how much valuable work you have so if you save work/programs frequently, back up once every week

If you have a Windows computer, go onto Control Panel and search “back up”. Click on the first link and follow through from there

Do not wait until it’s too late

I may add more information on if I can think of any, but here are some useful links on some other ways to back up your computer: Windows help to backing up files How to Back Up a Computer (among other devices) How to Back up Data The absurdly simple guide to backing up your PC Three Best Ways to Back Up Your Files 6 cheap ways to back up your files 8 Ways to Back up Your Computer Files How to back up your data Done a Computer Backup Lately?

1401. A muggleborn with a passion for computers learns programming during summer and brings their computer science books to Hogwarts, until one year they manage to bring a laptop and make it work. They inmediately start working on setting up a wi-fi network. Their muggleborn friends are eager to bring movies and series on pendrives the next semester.

After seeing a list of pretty much only frameworks, with no actual learning resources I decided to throw together an actual list of resources. I will admit my personal focus has always been front & backend web, so this list may be a little biased. I’m sure I missed some and skipped some, sorry.

========== PERSONAL TIPS ==========

// Stay hydrated. I recommend Mt Dew, Monster, or Red Bull //The last line was sarcasm, these drinks do not hydrate you. Drink water for hydration. Green tea, coffee and dark chocolate can be good (moderation matters) sources for an extra energy boost. // Comment heavy, comment often. You may know what you’re doing at 4:30am, but when you revisit that code in 2 months you can quickly become your own wost enemy. // When switching languages, remember your syntax. + is not . // A semicolon can make or break you // KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid. What seems to be the most complex problem is usually the easiest solution; e.g. after debugging  for an hour, remember you changed a default in your table from 0 to NULL and that is why our code is breaking … not that I’ve ever done that; especially not last night.

“ Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live.” -Martin Golding

“ A good programmer is someone who always looks both ways before crossing a one-way street.” -Doug Linder

“Programming is like sex. One mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life.” -Michael Sinz

Facebook helps companies detect rogue SSL certificates for domains

Facebook has launched a tool that allows domain name owners to discover TLS/SSL certificates that were issued without their knowledge.

The tool uses data collected from the many Certificate Transparency logs that are publicly accessible. Certificate Transparency (CT) is a new open standard requiring certificate authorities to disclose the certificate that they issue.

Until a few years ago, there was no way of tracking the certificates issued by every certificate authority (CA). At best, researchers could scan the entire web and collect those certificates being used on public servers. This made it very hard to discover cases where CAs issued certificates for domain names without the approval of those domains’ owners.

Pacific Ocean To Close In 2018

The world’s largest ocean, after being open for almost 750 million years, will end its run in July of 2018. Pacific Spokesman Roland Haphausenhauer cited over-fishing, pollution, and the bad global economy as the reasons for the closure.

“This is the end of quite an era,” said the spokesman, “We tried to keep the Pacific going as long as we could but the fact is, it’s just not profitable and it’s just no longer rewarding work for those responsible.” The Pacific has seen several hundred lay-offs in recent years, with the ocean becoming less popular with tourists and new businesses. Now over 30 billion USD in debt, the ocean will file for bankruptcy and close its shores forever.

The effects will be long lasting as ships fall to the dry ocean floor, weather and water concerns go haywire, and many countries bordering the ocean dry up and their people flee in search of water. Said Japanese oceanographer Noriyuki Honjo, “Japan as we know it is essentially over with this news. Much of our economy is based on fishing, most of our contact with other countries happens by sea. With no Pacific Ocean, our land is doomed.” Most other island nations have expressed similar fears.

This is the largest geographical closure since the breakup of Pangea, a supercontinent that comprised most of the world’s landmass well into the Mesozoic, when it was hit with an antitrust lawsuit and was forced to break into smaller continents.
