Leaders have to make corporate culture as important as sales figures to win the talent war, according to remote CEOs. Always hold your pinkie finger out when debugging code
I jest - they don't debug

My company is all about that culture thing. We get free airplane rides to anywhere in the country when we purchase an airline ticket to that destination. Free food at the local restaurants when we buy ourselves a meal. The parking lot is lined with blacktop motionless treadmills which is equivalent to most gym memberships, and when we screw up big time, we earn lifetime company unpaid sabbaticals. I could go on, but I don't want to make anyone jealous.

Did the employees say "this is the best" or "this place doesn't suck"?

The rest of the world says that companies that use brewers yeast have the best culture.

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?

These profiles target real users in an attempt to increase interest in certain companies before passing the successful leads to a real salesperson. Someone may as well use that site

I wish my profile was AI-generated.
(LinkedIn was good at one point. Now it's mostly irritating. I mostly stay on to keep track of former colleagues.)

Which is why I never accept an invite from someone I don't know in the real world.

On Windows editions that support x86 emulation, there are two directories for program files. The C:\Program Files directory is for programs in the native system bitness, and the the C:\Program Files (x86) directory is for programs that run under the x86-32 emulator. One folder needs room for extra bits

It's actually an old old thing.

That article lost me at "emulated". On Intel and AMD processors, this is not an emulated mode. When Windows runs on other architectures both X86 and X64 are emulated.

I read it as (roughly) "Windows 32 emulation on a Windows 64 system". If you run a Windows VM on a Linux system, that is also sort of an emulation. With Win 32 vs. 64, I guess that it even more an emulation, as (almost) the complete set of 64 bit OS services is provided to 32 bit programs, making them appear as 32 bit services to the 32 bit program. Win 64 emulates Win 32.
Generally speaking, Raymond Chen is highly qualified, and you rarely catch him making mistakes. This, combined with his ability to explain even very complex issues in a way that you will understand - and often with humor and wit - makes it one of the most valuable technical blogs to follow for a Windows programmer.

Not all MFA is created equal, as script kiddies and elite hackers have shown recently. If you guessed, "rely on people being lazy", give yourself a pat on the back
If you're not too lazy to do that.

Microsoft is getting ready to make selecting a default browser in Windows 11 a lot simpler by adding a single-click 'Set default' option to the operating system. As long as you use your one-click to pick Edge, at least

AKA: Fixing something (or adding required missing functionality) that Microsoft already had to go through a big song and dance with every previously version of windows since 97.

Victory marks milestone for AI as bridge requires more human skills than other strategy games That's too far!

I got caught playing bridge during class and received a suspension...

Not sure if I truss that statement.

The Guardian: Victory marks milestone for AI as bridge requires more human skills than other strategy games Diplomacy[^] requires more human skills than bridge, and probably more than any other strategy game. Bridge bidding is a state machine, albeit complex. But unless they're doing it differently, good bridge programs use Monte Carlo methods for card play because this has outperformed attempts to actually plan.

Until the AI can actually compete and win a full game I'm not impressed.

I wonder how much of the early chess software would have been labeled "AI" if it had been developed during the last five years.
"Serious" chess software started appearing approximately midway between the previous AI wave and the current one, and no one wanted to be associated with the "yet another failed attempt to make artificial intelligence", so the algorithms that had been developed was relabeled and reclassified as "plain" (although quite advanced) algorithms, but not at all any sort of "intelligent".
I wonder how long it will take before we see the same in the so called "AI" software of today.
