I actually had a Model UN topic on this. it was officially how "cryptocurrency aids terrorism", but was generally on just banning it or not... We ended up "making regulations for it, where it is to be monitored..."

Microsoft is taking a more challenging, but ultimately more promising approach to scaled quantum computing with topological qubits that are theorized to be inherently more stable than qubits produced with existing methods without sacrificing size or speed. So, quantum computers will now only be 5-10 years in the future. Again.

And we won't know if will be 5 years or 10 years until we observe them.
Schrodinger's computer?
Brings to mind another thought, since it's Microsoft does that mean it can be off and on at the same time?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

It helped popularize the interactive computing paradigm we take for granted today. "Zo relaxen und watschen der blinkenlichten."

Relaxen is not a real word.
"Entspannung".

Microsoft has removed the last Windows 11 safeguard hold after Oracle addressed a known VirtualBox issue causing errors and virtual machine start failures when Hyper-V or the Windows Hypervisor were installed. For those virtually working

Interesting Read. Anytime an interview for a job or a job posting has Rock Star in it. I pass. I am a rockstar. But I don't want to be a rockstar.
To err is human to really elephant it up you need a computer

Just tell them that if they want a rock star, they have to pay for a rock star. And provide groupies.

Best answer ever. Groupies as in puppies to play with.

Laundry, leftovers and valet service are no longer on the menu for Meta employees. Everyone break out your tiny violins
Although musical accompaniment is probably also getting dropped.

Meta says one thing but it's more likely to be the result of their stock price plummeting. On Sept 1 last year Meta was trading at $382 a share. Today it closed at $188 a share. Meta's market value has dropped $340 Billion since Sept 1, 2021.

That's just funny money. Did their ad revenue drop for some reason lately? The pessimist in me thinks they didn't get as much misinfo money lately, but I'm jaded.

Facebook's advertising money has been dropping over the same period as more people leave the platform.

Someone should tell the users...
Maybe people will quit treating the platform as a place to air their dirty laundry.

Riverbed's report indicates that over a third of enterprise devices aren't ready for Windows 11 Look to your right, look to your left, look in front of you. At least one of those machines can't run Windows 11
Or more, if you're in a Linux shop.

Yup. mac running windows via bootcamp. No idea what the companies long term plans are, and I doubt they do either.
My guess is, assuming I remain a primarily Windows dev, in a few years I'll get a new W11 PC and keep the old mac to debug safari problems.
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?

I put a hold on purchasing new PCs last year until Windows 11 machines started hitting the market. Remember, when you see a machine listed as Windows 10 with Windows 11 upgrade what this really is is a Windows 11 license using the downgrade rights.

A great tutorial isn't about what you write, it's about whether developers can be successful without having to read every word. You can lead a dev to a tutorial, but you can't make them learn

Quote: People aren't going to read your tutorial.
Skipped every word to this point, and didn't read anything beyond.
I got the gist of it.

That was a strange blog post. It started off talking about why tutorials fail, i.e., because people don't read them, then morphed into an actual tutorial on containerized development, which, indeed, I didn't read because I wasn't looking for one.
Here are the problems I typically have with tutorials:
- They spend 1/2 of the tutorial telling me to create a new project, then showing me how. Why is that a problem? Most readers already know how to create a new project, and they probably already have a project created and half-written that they need to add this new thing you're showing us to.
- They typically don't show me 'using' list in the code, i.e., what libraries I need to make your example code work
- The code examples are too often too simple to be useful
- The tutorial uses a library that is now obsolete, replaced by a new version with a completely different name and a completely different set of methods and properties. (That's not the fault of the author, but of Microsoft/Oracle/Amazon/whoever wrote the package you're learning.)
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.
