Stupid is as stupid does.
Right now, my Quicken file (I'm running an i7 with 64GB of ram on an SSD, so it's a fast machine) now loads slower than on my last PC. Why? Well, every time Quicken launches, it goes back and talks to the mother ship. Even if I turn off the "sync with cloud" feature (why in the hell would I want my data on their cloud?) it still has to go back to the mother ship.
Microsoft cannot even get the Office 365 login correct - I select the "don't remind me for 20 days" box, and the next day I have to log in again.
It's almost like people in Redmond ask themselves, "let's see how far we can go before the masses rebel."

In space, no one can hear you scream – but thanks to the Apollo 10 onboard comms, they can make a transcript of your entire mission. And the Brown Danube Waltz played over the speakers
OK, not 'news' in any stretch of the imagination (other than it was a recently posted article), but it amused Chris and I.

I seem to remember IE 11 broke websites for the same reason. Sites read it as IE 1 and refused to work.

A lot of sites refused to work with IE 10. I remember receiving more than one message, "IE 1 isn't supported"

Writing is an increasingly important skill for engineering leaders. Indeed, poor writing can hamper career progression, above a certain level. Tactics for more clear, more frequent and more confident writing. Same as becoming a better coder - do more of it
With some feedback loop, of course. This place seems a good place to start.

Cybersecurity researchers warn that criminals are using hype around NFTs to trick victims into downloading password-stealing BitRAT malware that allows them to hijack infected machines. This is the first bad I've heard about NFTs all hour

Close to the prettiest Caddy's ever made. Dad had a pink one close to that year parked out by the barn when I was a kid. It must have been junk, because it never ran, although he says it did when I was a baby.

As the creator of programming languages such as Turbo Pascal, Delphi, C# and TypeScript, and highly influential in building development environments such as Microsoft’s .NET, Hejlsberg has had an impact on millions of software developers. All hail St. Anders!
I really wish I could completely remember his reaction to a developer requesting Java-style checked exceptions. All I remember is that it was the one time I've seen him look kind of angry.

Bravo, Anders:Quote: we already have like one of the world’s largest programming languages, depending on how you define programming languages in Excel. And Excel, you could argue is sort of a low-code/no-code way of writing programs, people do run programs, their spreadsheets are programs. imho, (the author of the article, or, whoever chose the title) referring to Anders as "czar" is a snarky put-down.

Reddit is currently the most popular search engine. The only people who don’t know that are the team at Reddit, who can’t be bothered to build a decent search interface. "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
I have no idea what to say here. People using a site-specific search filter and Google means that people aren't using Google?
Posted here because it's being pretty big on some parts of the interwebs, and maybe someone can explain this to me.

Led by an idiot who is full of himself, and incapable of mastering his tools? Yeah, Google is going downhill, but reddit????????? WTF??? And every time I try another engine, the results are even worse.

Thank you. I thought I was going further crazy when I read some of the comments saying he made “good points”.
