You don't need to fully compromise a system in order to gain information.
This is like saying, "Websites shouldn't encrypt passwords because if a hacker compromises the website then they're going to get your passwords anyway."
This is because hackers can compromise the database itself without access to the full system. At that point, you better hope your passwords are encrypted.
Similarly, hackers can compromise the keylogger system, by itself, without having full access to your operating system.
But this potential exploit wouldn't exist if the keylogger system just didn't exist.
Yes, if someone could take control of your operating system, then they wouldn't need to compromise your keylogger.

I recall material evidence to the contrary: tire marks on the road that indicates the car was accelerating *and* breaking.
Also, if a particular brand is affected, *something* that is unique to that brand is either causing or allowing the problem to happen —even if that problem starts with a "human error".

There are vastly different degrees of fucked. I have far less of a problem with browsers that store cookie or password information than a keylogger that stores passwords for non-browser things like keypass, remote computers or a host of the other things.
 
Furthermore (if that weren't enough), browsers that store cookie or password information is very much a choice you and I can make on a case-by-case basis fully aware that it is happening and what choices I am making and I can revoke those choices and purge all the data whenever I wish. MS's keylogger is **everything** and it happens without us having any knowledge of what it is collecting and hides behind euphemistic terms like "getting to know you". If there was a browser out there that automatically stored every password you ever put into a website, would not let you purge those passwords or cookies or even have any incognito mode where you could tell it not to collect the information of a particular session and it didn't tell you it was doing that would you be happy to use that browser? I wouldn't because if my system ever did get compromised (and it might) then I would be potentially far more fucked (as you put it) as a result.
 
And I forgot another point: browsers storing passwords and cookies for me is convenient to me in an obvious way. It's a compromise for functionality that makes my life easier. How on earth is that even vaguely true of MS's keylogger? | null | 0 | 1491401780 | 1491402022 | 0 | dfv2heh | t3_63jq8w | null | null | t1_dfv1m3k | null | 1493816387 | 4 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

There seems to be an implicit metaphysical significance to computer technology which crops up in the language, concepts, and methodologies we use to interact with computers.

null | resident_ninja | null | "Do you use VC?" is a great opener for the just as important "HOW do you use VC?"
some places have it, but barely make use of it.
As an example: While some of us think "no branching, all work is done on mainline" is good, it's probably only good if you've come to that conclusion after appropriate consideration, and usually it's only "good" when used in conjunction with things like pair programming or good automated test coverage(or others: no or minimized long-lived un-merged development, etc).
Not using any modern VC feature because you don't understand it, or your VC tool makes it difficult, or because you don't/can't do appropriate accompanying best practices: these should all be warning signs about the organization.
*****
edit: I should have clarified this much earlier today, sorry.
I phrased my initial comment poorly, everyone is looking at my "HOW", and my example, and thinking they're directly related, and that using branches versus just using mainline matters to me.
by and large, it doesn't.
I could have used "do you commit your dependencies to VC?" as my example. maybe I should have, to indicate how generically I meant to convey the "how" of "how do you use VC?"
to me, branches vs mainline, dependencies in VC or not, aren't of primary concern after asking if VC is used. they're questions that shed further light on the landscape.
What does matter to me is that some higher-level thought was given to what you're doing and how (_generically_, SDLC/process wise) you're going about it.
the same applies for testing, planning, culture, and other things that Joel's test covers. even if his questions seem too basic, they can start/inform more conversation about further nuance that can point to either health or cancer in the organization.
(such as using a bad mainline "strategy": being unable to perform multiple commits per day with a reasonably high measure of confidence that you haven't introduced regressions due to other similar organizational weaknesses, or bad branching strategies that might result in a lot of re-validation churn at certain chokepoints) :) | null | 0 | 1491402626 | 1491462326 | 0 | dfv375t | t3_63l7iv | null | null | t1_dfuzo6p | null | 1493816737 | 13 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Thanks for the source, but 30k new manufacturing jobs added is not really significant considering there are currently 12.4 million manufacturing jobs, and 7 million have been lost in the past three decades. This trend is clearly decades old, and the concept that manufacturing is not coming back isn't one born from current DC politics. This is a well known trend acknowledged by the academic and research communities.

I'm not sure that I think this is true, faster to write does not necessarily equal easier to maintain.
In addition, software defects that reach production are dramatically more expensive to fix than defects that are caught in development, which might be something to consider.
