If this is JavaScript, it would have a value of -0, which is actually valid and works the same as normal zero thanks to type coercion. I think the only difference is some methods that detect if a number is negative will return true instead of false, but otherwise, JS treats -0 the same way as 0

Now write a function to unroll the while loop to "optimize it for the compiler"
The most i said was he wasn't entirely wrong. I also called him despicable and a scumbag. It would seem you and I have very different ideas as to the definition of "congratulate"
The weakest link in any system is the user
Correct. No policy is an adequate substitute for security training or phishing awareness training. That doesn't mean to allow abuse cases though
export sensitive company data onto their own personal machines
Intune can be (and usually is) used to enforce logins only from enrolled devices. Personal devices can be enrolled, then Conditional Access policies can be applied to silo app data from company data, preventing this abuse case
reauth once per hour
No way. One per day, at most. No one should have to re-auth every hour, except maybe Global Admin accounts, which shouldn't be used for day-to-day tasks anyway.
users who generate service account credentials
To do this in Entra, you need the Application Administrator role assigned, which is a Privileged Role, so it should be controlled by PAM to prevent/detect this abuse case.
When your policy teeters towards aggravating users, many of them will just find clever ways to circumvent it
Not for long. And usually not without leaving an audit trail that indicates violating acceptable use policies, security policies, or access control standards, which then becomes an HR issue, not an IT issue
If your session gets hijacked, max session lengths ensure the attacker doesn't retain access once the session expires. It's more likely someone in your company was phished and the attacker retained access to their Outlook for a few days or weeks before anyone noticed.
The glut of US tech workers is due to the excessive number of H1B visas being issued. This year, the number was almost the same, but slightly higher than the total number of US tech graduates. Why hire an expensive American new graduate when you can hire someone from India with 3-5 years of experience at 60% market rate instead?
The "turning the freaking frogs gay" clip is from an episode of... his show (don't want to support it by naming it), in which he refers to the fact that frogs maturing in waters polluted by certain pesticides don't reproduce nearly as much as frogs that mature in uncontaminated waters.
Lacking any substantial scientific basis or knowledge, he drew the rather elementary conclusion that the pollution turned the frogs into homosexuals, and that's why they weren't reproducing.
Further studies showed the causal link between the chemicals and lower rates of frog reproduction were actually due to the chemicals infiltrating and corrupting tadpole DNA during maturation so that they developed both sets of genitals and had reduced testosterone levels.
So, he was only partially right. But he wasn't entirely wrong either. Which is a weird thing to say about the statement, "I don't like them putting chemicals in the water that turn the freaking frogs gay!"
Whang! has a video on his YouTube channel where he goes into depth more on the studies, if you're interested.
I tried to think of a good pun also, but they're too corny.
Alex Jones is an absolutely despicable excuse for a human, but he really was on to something with those hermaphroditic frogs.
Subsequent studies found there was a causal link between the chemicals he was referring to and frogs maturing in those waters having substantially higher rates of hermaphroditism.
He's still a scumbag though.
Oh, and cool meme.
Same. I think some of the old engines still have plenty of life left in them. It's more about gameplay and visual style than graphical fidelity to many, and I think the popularity of games like G-Mod and Minecraft exemplify that. Combine that with the crazy GPU and RAM prices these days and I think there's plenty of room for ideas like this.
New Blood Interactive has a lot of cool modern games that run on Unity, but with rendering and graphics settings that emulate that crunchy, tesselated, old-school visual style. Maybe some of those will scratch the itch.
Yes sir, can you please tell me, did I give you purr-fect customer service and are you completely satisfied with the outcome of your call?
Not in this case. First, i is declared and assigned a value of 0. Next, x is declared and assigned a value of -i or -0. On the first loop iteration, i will decrement to -1, perform the conditional check, then execute the loop body which will assign x to -i or -(-1) or positive 1, and so on.
The only time a variable is created without a value is if you declare one without assigning a value like with
[int]i;
