Python's still #1, but employers love to see SQL skills It's IEEE, so you know it's almost as random as the other lists
RFC 1149.5 compliant, I'm sure.

It doesn't give a lot of confidence when you mouse-over Python and see "C is used to write software where ..."
Similarly for C++, C and Java. The description for SQL seems right, but that's about where I stopped.

Quote: we also ran into the problem that different browsers could produce slightly different results, thanks to variations in floating-point implementations! (This problem of different implementations giving different results was largely solved by the IEEE-754 standard for floating-point numbers, so it would be interesting to go back and find out which browser versions are noncompliant. But for now let’s just all agree to not run any, say, nuclear reactors with a Web app, okay?)

Before the internet, developer software included a lot of printed manuals. It's a development platform, AND something for your workout
Just remember to get someone to spot you when lifting.
Because C++ programmers are known for their lifting prowess.
I might still have a few of those manuals somewhere here.

I will say the Microsoft C 5.1 library reference manual was excellent. It was a half height 3 ring binder so the function reference pages laid flat on your desk. Mine vanished somewhere along the way, but I still have my the book from my COBOL class.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

The former Twitter head of security also says Twitter prioritizes user growth over reducing spam. Was this whistleblower watching from across the street, or he just happened to be walking past their headquarters
I mean, it's kind of obvious, right?

Microsoft is apparently planning to name the next version of Windows 11 (22H2) the “2022 Update.” "And that has made all the difference"

(OK, not Titanic. How about "rearranging deck chairs on the SS New Icon"?

Are they calling it the "2022 Update" because it is 20-22% working?

No, because they updated between 20 and 22% of the Icons to the newest style. 2% of the proposed updates are still stuck in QA limbo*.

Developers are straining under the demands of ‘You build it, you run it,’ and operators are feeling more pressure too. Is it time for development and operations to be separated once again? It's a NOOP job

Hehehe, management demanded we jack of all trades and master of none; their wish is granted
I do not do ops; just like I don't do management.
I'm paid for R&D, to write code. Not to talk to some customer that has has firewall set wrong or gets a ton of virus-warnings in a server log. I'm not a helpdesk, aight? Not even for customers that invest a lot.
If you need to be a jack of all trades, than you can accept the management-job too. I won't.

In other news, the Earth is spherical.
Specialization is a hallmark of economic progress. DevOps proponents are ignorant of this simple fact, preferring to have jacks-of-all-trades who are masters of none. Is it because they think it builds character? Then let them clean toilets on the side.

I've had the misfortune to work under so-called managers who should have been assigned to clean toilets as their primary job.

Side A of the coin:
physician Irene Sand: "The expert who concentrates on a limited field is useful, but if he loses sight of the interdependence of things he becomes a man who knows more and more about less and less, until he knows everything about nothing."
Side B of the coin:
physician Irene Sand: "Of course we do not prefer the other extreme, the superficial person who every day knows less and less about more and more, until he knows nothing about everything."
Can't we get back at the healthy common sense?

C# 11 is nearing completion. This post covers features that are new in 17.3 or were not covered in our April update on Visual Studio 17.2 and our February update on Visual Studio 17.1. Can I get past the "This one goes to 11" yet?

Everything has its downside...
A co-worker of mine has been long in remote due to health condition and he said something like:
"At least before, when I already had an appointment the next one was at least 15, mostly 30 minutes after the end of the previous one, because the people didn't know if you had to walk from one point to another. Since I am in Home Office the suckers now set the online meetings with one minute break or two if I am lucky... I can't even go pee in that time."

.NET MAUI, which evolves Xamarin.Forms by adding desktop app support, has arrived in .NET 6 and Visual Studio 2022, but what's coming up? Maybe head over to Kauai next?
I hear it's where the Hawaiians go to avoid the tourists.
