Quote: As always, a disclaimer before we start, this is purely subjective. Very modest. Skimming this article, it looks to be about bang on, so I'll be reading it more carefully...

Researchers have found it surprisingly easy to upload malicious Visual Studio Code extensions to the VSCode Marketplace, and discovered signs of threat actors already exploiting this weakness. Who knew letting anyone write and publish plugins would be so fraught with problems?

A newly discovered comet could be visible to the naked eye as it shoots past Earth and the Sun in the coming weeks for the first time in 50,000 years, astronomers have said. "At first it had been an almost telescopic speck; it had brightened to the dimensions of the greatest star in the heavens"

Every time I hear about software maintenance as a distinct activity, I cringe. It is not the software that is maintained, it is only yourself

C++ is notorious for its slow build times. “My code's compiling” is a meme in the programming world, and C++ keeps this joke alive. JavaScript would like to enter the conversation

Expect a cooling off of such software development trends as development of blockchain apps and low-code programming — as well as the developer job market. So you can get ahead of the next ideas coming from management

Wall Street Journal today (for me, not paywall blocked) [^]Quote: Beijing’s internet regulator, the Cyberspace Administration of China, will begin enforcing the regulation—on what it calls “deep synthesis” technology, including AI-powered image, audio and text-generation software—starting Tuesday, marking the world’s first comprehensive attempt by a major regulatory agency to curb one of the most explosive and controversial areas of AI advancement.
