Security: Industrial Control Systems (2016, PDF, Report)
Interesting report on the security of Industrial Control Systems (ICS), FFR:
Overload: Critical Lessons from 15 Years of ICS Vulnerabilities

TOOLS: NewFileGo (productivity tools - File watcher task runner)
From the same supplier of ARS Clip (Clipboard Manager), the NewFileGo is another important productivity enhancer, allowing you to perform a task every time a file appears on a certain location.
For repetitive tasks it's the dream of everyone.
NewFileGo can be downloaded here:

TOOLS: ARS Clip cliboard manager (productivity tools)
ARS clip is THE free, open source (mainly windows-based) clipboard manager: http://www.joejoesoft.com/vcms/97/
Quoting:
Interesting features include:
- Shortcut to recent items as a context menu (Ctrl+Shift+Z)
- Permanent items
- Persistence between restarts
- Stripped down format paste (Ctrl+Shift+V)
- The global shared clipboard (not yet tested by me)
Cons:
- Some minor issues: Slight instability (Windows 8), initial error setting global keyboard hook and some minor problems with OneNote (copied values are always pasted as image in certain apps).
PS. Also from the same supplier, make sure to check a very interesting tool for automating file-based tasks. If you like it, think about making a donation.
TBC: How does is stack against Ditto?
Quoting:
ArsClip is a freeware "clipboard manager" utility. ArsClip monitors the clipboard and keeps track of the entries. Pasting is done by using a triggered popup window. This window can be triggered by a hotkey, holding right-click, a special trigger window, and other methods.ArsClip used to be barebones, but I think I can safely say that it has become a nicely featured and highly configurable program, due to user feedback. The program now specializes in copy-and-paste automation tasks.Delphi XE2 source code includedFeatures- Permanent Clips/Macros for copying and pasting automation- Picture, RichText, File Copy, Unicode, HTML support- Highly configurable- Win7 Jumplist support- Optional Clipboard Bar -- clipboard viewer- Optional Global Clipboard to shares clips with other Windows and Android devicesRequirementsThis program requires no installation, but an optional setup program is included. Supported on Windows XP through Windows 10.

About long position / titles: Monty Python - Cosmetic Surgery sketch
Everytime I see a long job description like "Senior Security and Software Product Assurance Engineer", I reckon the Monty Python: Cosmetic Surgery sketch:
Quoting:
"(A man sitting behind a desk in a Harley Street consulting room. Close-up of the name plate on desk in front of him. Although the camera does not reveal this for a moment, this name plate, about two inches high, continues all along the desk, off the side of it at the same height and halfway round the room. We start to track along this name plate on which is written:
And this is the video (worthwhile seeing because the title won't fit in the room, so it "curves"):
Do you see what I mean?

TOOLS: The #StartupStack
Interesting trend and article on the startup stack [software-related tools], i.e. the number of common tools that modern startups use to support them on the most common tasks (like: billing, electronic payments, managing technical work, hiring, etc.).
Modern startups now have these tools for a fraction of the cost it used to cost some years ago...
Details on the Startup Stack:

SW Construction: Clean Code vs Dirty Code? Good Code vs. Bad Code?
- Discussing the sex of angels.
Could it be the answer to what the question "What is clean code"? Guess not.
The "Clean Code" book author and SW Engineering guru Robert C. Martin asked some other software well-known and deeply experienced programmers what they thought about it. Who are those people?
- Bjarne Stroustrup: inventor of C++ and author of The C++ Programming Language.
- Grady Booch: author of Object Oriented Analysis and Design with Applications.
- Dave Thomas: founder of OTI, godfather of the Eclipse strategy.
- Mike Feathers: author of Working Effectively with Legacy Code.
- Ron Jeffries: author of Extreme Programming Installed and Extreme Programming in C#.
- Ward Cunningham: inventor of Wiki, Fit, coinventor of eXtreme Programming, Motive force behind Design Patterns, Smalltalk and OO thought Leader. The godfather of those who care about code.
If you don't know them [and are interested in building better/cleaner code] maybe it's time to start following them and/or reading to whatever books or initiatives they have been involved in (some of those are listed above).
If you want to know their answers and what the Robert C. Martin "school of thought" thinks about it (to the point of writing an entire +400 pg. book on the subject) maybe you should read the book (Amazon link here).
