I suspect that in five years there will be articles on the dangers of "memory safe" languages (and how to migrate away from them.)

I.e. memory safe but security out of the window.

“Is that a C# IDE running LINQ queries over Excel tables?” Yep, that’s exactly what it is. "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn’t stop to think if they should."

File Explorer is getting a big update with new features soon. Who else had "rounded corners" on your Bingo card?
"Even the left-side navigation is being updated with more modern code, rounded highlight buttons, and more". <-- Wheee! Not just rounding the corners, but the buttons too!

LastPass’ parent company GoTo — formerly LogMeIn — has confirmed that cybercriminals stole customers’ encrypted backups during a recent breach of its systems. It won't take too long to change all your passwords, will it?

Brilliant! They'll never figure that one out.

Will they rename their product to Microsoft 365-ish, Microsoft Almost-365 or Microsoft 364?

Meanwhile, Azure DevOps is "degraded" across the board[^].
Seems like something is rotten in the state of Redmond today.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The Windows Package Manager (WinGet) has reached version 1.4 and with it adds a slew of tasty new features. At last! Now I can do something with those files

CNET's AI-written articles aren't just riddled with errors. They also appear to be substantially plagiarized. It copied off other AI's homework?
Isn't that by-design? I thought all it did was lift stuff from elsewhere and put some filler verbiage in it? (like the art ones that grab bits and bobs from other art)

Blockchain was the fastest-growing in-demand IT skill in 2022, while JavaScript was the most commonly verified tech skill, a DevSkiller survey finds. *by people trying to skew this survey
JavaScript? Sure, but "Demand for blockchain programming skills increased by 552% in 2022"? Only if that demand was "1" in 2021.

Platform engineers provide an integrated product most often referred to as an “Internal Developer Platform” covering the operational necessities of the entire lifecycle of an application. "We shape our buildings, thereafter they shape us"
"Before platform teams can start building their product, they need to define a clear mission statement to guide the process. This mission statement should fit the overall goals of the organization and proactively define the role of the platform team within the organization. It should also inspire your engineers." <-- Anyone see my eyes? They just rolled away.
"Improve developer experience by building internal developer platforms to reduce cognitive load, developer toil, and repetitive manual work." <-- ... ... and you needed a new name?

The public perceives OpenAI's ChatGPT as revolutionary, but the same techniques are being used and the same kind of work is going on at many research labs, says the deep learning pioneer. Can't make good whine with those sour grapes

Kent Sharkey wrote: but the same techniques are being used and the same kind of work is going on at many research labs, But OPenAI was the first coming to the public with a reasonable product. I suppose more than one in those other research labs have hit the desk with their head a time or two since ChatGPT went live.

Recent Windows 11 Insider builds include support for ReFS, the Resilient File System So the existing file system isn't resilient?
|
|
|
|
|
Unless you're running huge databases or virtual machines on Windows 11, ReFS means nothing. For general workloads ReFS is simply not a good file system.
|
|
|
|
|
Ah,that explains why it’s only on the server copies now. Thank you!

I am not a ReFS user, so I am not protesting or arguing against you.
I am just curious: Which properties of ReFS make you state that "ReFS is simply not a good file system" (for general workloads)?

Did users change their Wi-Fi password, or did they see the nature of IoT privacy? Maybe 1/2 their customers don't really want smart appliances?
I would have put that at about 90%, but I guess I'm just an old Luddite.

WTE would I need to start my dishwasher running or set my fridge's temperature from my smartphone? I have to physically fill and empty the dishwasher, and the fridge's temperature setting hasn't been changed since we bought it a few years ago.
Ditto for almost any other home appliance I can think of. IoT is an solution looking for a problem.
