A study carried out by the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M), together with the Shahid Rajaee Teacher Training University of Iran, concludes that the heartbeat can be used as a biometric tool to identify people. "There's a hammer in my heart pounding out your name"
Or, mine. I guess.

i guess we need algorithms to identify heartless people more rather the way the world is going...

Never mind what enterprise programmers are trained to do, a self-defined set of hackers has its own programming language zeitgeist, one that apparently changes with the wind, at least according to the relatively small set surveyed. I was surprised it wasn't, "The one that leads to the most vulnerabilities"
But I guess it was more, "What do you use to hack?", vs. "What do you target?"
/shrug. As good as the other random list generators

I don’t know why Microsoft added this tiny animation that most people will never discover All the other bugs were fixed

I would be more impressed if they kept the gear steady and spun the rest of the screen. Even more impressive would be to finish integrating Settings and Control Panel. I suspect I'm doomed to disappointment, although spinning the screen isn't that hard from a bitmap perspective.

Tried it - wasn't impressed. Basically it spins to indicate it's been clicked and the mouse button is down.

A pair of brain microchips could one day allow those in 'pseudocomas' to communicate whatever they want, a new breakthrough suggests. "Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind"
Still a few steps before Scalzi[^] can be considered prophetic.
"Then, came a slew of requests for his care, like "Mom head massage" and "I would like to listen to the album by Tool [a band] loud"." <- as if there is any other way to listen to them.

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?

At least it partially works. Be careful how you communicate without being affected

While the researchers have identified seven accounts associated with the hacking group — including one traced to another teenager in Brazil — they believe the teenager from England is the mastermind and is behind some of the major Lapsus$ hacks. Never trust the teenagers!

From ethical concerns, a desire for more money, and simple obnoxiousness, a handful of developers are ruining open-source for everyone. But at least everyone else can fix it, right?

In my opinion, this is the Achilles heel of open source. I don't incorporate OS into any of my projects *intentionally*. Are there not safe guards and what not to prevent random stuff from just getting pulled into your code base?

As a multi-paradigm general-purpose programming language, Kotlin provides a lot of the necessary toolkits we need to leverage FP in our day-to-day coding. Can I get this article delivered?

Stephen Wilhite worked on GIF, or Graphics Interchange Format, which is now used for reactions, messages, and jokes, while employed at CompuServe in the 1980s. It's pronounced "Wilhite". RIP.

He waited way to late to make that claim.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
