A new paper published by Disney Research in partnership with ETH Zurich describes a fully automated, neural network-based method for swapping faces in photos and videos — the first such method that results in high-resolution, megapixel resolution final results according, to the researchers. Because we could always use a new reason to not believe what we see

And this is probably going to be only used in FX for the film industry... noone is going to (try to) misuse it in real life...

Dirk Hohndel and Linus Torvalds talked about Linux developers, hardware, and coding in their latest, and first virtual Linux conversation. Article contains far less swearing than I thought might be in there

Are they thinking on include Windows in the linux kernel?

New Microsoft documentation has revealed a Group policy and Registry tweak that allows you to specify the specific Windows version you wish to stay on and prevent new feature updates from being installed. Should work - at least until the next major update disables it

If it works you should not get the next major update at all

It’s incredibly likely that your company’s codebase mimics the personality of the engineers contributing to it. To busy rolling my eyes for a proper blurb, sorry.

I know I've been in some "funhouse" codebases, but never... "fun"

Well, most codebases are dogs!

Apple declined to implement 16 Web APIs in Safari due to privacy concerns | ZDNet
Web Bluetooth - Allows websites to connect to nearby Bluetooth LE devices.
Web MIDI API - Allows websites to enumerate, manipulate and access MIDI devices.
Magnetometer API - Allows websites to access data about the local magnetic field around a user, as detected by the device's primary magnetometer sensor.
Web NFC API - Allows websites to communicate with NFC tags through a device's NFC reader.
Device Memory API - Allows websites to receive the approximate amount of device memory in gigabytes.
Network Information API - Provides information about the connection a device is using to communicate with the network and provides a means for scripts to be notified if the connection type changes
Battery Status API - Allows websites to receive information about the battery status of the hosting device.
Web Bluetooth Scanning - Allows websites to scan for nearby Bluetooth LE devices.
Ambient Light Sensor - Lets websites get the current light level or illuminance of the ambient light around the hosting device via the device's native sensors.
HDCP Policy Check extension for EME - Allows websites to check for HDCP policies, used in media streaming/playback.
Proximity Sensor - Allows websites to retrieve data about the distance between a device and an object, as measured by a proximity sensor.
WebHID - Allows websites to retrieve information about locally connected Human Interface Device (HID) devices.
Serial API - Allows websites to write and read data from serial interfaces, used by devices such as microcontrollers, 3D printers, and othes.
Web USB - Lets websites communicate with devices via USB (Universal Serial Bus).
Geolocation Sensor (background geolocation) - A more modern version of the older Geolocation API that lets websites access geolocation data.
User Idle Detection - Lets website know when a user is idle.

It may not be possible for us to ever reach empirical definitions of "good code" or "clean code", which means that any one person's opinion about another person's opinions about "clean code" are necessarily highly subjective. Because 'dirty code' is so much more fun

There once was a whore from Nantucket,
Who thought clean code was like a bucket
With bits going in, and bits going out,
Oh nevermind, it!

Clean code goes to production,
Dirty code goes everywhere...
