Watching those boosters land always reminds me of the goofy effects in Buck Rogers or Flash Gordon B&W shows. It's really amazing how sci-fi becomes reality decades later. And I still can't wrap my head around the computations and sensors needed to do all this.

There are actually several active orbital launch systems, but Blue Origin isn't one of them. New Glenn never reaches orbit. New Glenn is nothing more than a rocket powered amusement ride.

In Visual Studio 2022 version 17.8, we introduced a feature that allows C++ developers to easily view the size and alignment of classes, structs, unions, base types, or Enums. For more perfect unions (and classes, structs, and enums)

Most Windows users pay attention to updates only when they wreck something, like the latest story about universities suggesting uninstalling December 2023 updates to fix broken Wi-Fi connections in Windows 11. Better late than never?

I've been using Windows 11 since close to when it came out (purchased a new machine with it) and haven't seen this bug. I can see how it would be really annoying to those whose systems have it but I suspect it isn't that widespread.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, not here either. There's all kinds of fun that can happen I suspect when you combine all the variations of BIOS/chipsets/hardware. Sometimes I marvel that Windows works at all as well as it does.

I see it quite regularly on work PC. It is really annoying. At first I thought I was alt-tabbing without noticing

The video, featuring a cat named Taters, was sent back from nearly 19 million miles away by NASA’s laser communications demonstration, marking a historic milestone. Cat videos...in SPACE!
Their conquest continues
Hemi-semi-demi dupe, but I think the last one was just "a message". This one is showing they can stream content.

The Microsoft Printer Metadata Troubleshooter Tool will rename your printer to its correct name and uninstall the HP Smart app. At least you don't have to dance widdershins around your computer (this time)
And no chicken sacrifice required (maybe)

Nuke the computer from orbit; it's the only way.

Everything Google’s giving up has a time limit, and some of it is exceedingly minor. I guess the holiday party is cancelled this year
At least for the plebs. The execs will still have theirs, of course.

It’s a common occurrence: You’re sitting at your desk, lost in thought, trying to solve a problem that’s been blocking your work all week. Without a door, what are you supposed to slam in anger?

The craft’s NIRCam filters captured the planet, including its rings, in unprecedented detail. "Please enter. The Prophets await you."
What?! You were expecting a juvenile Uranus joke? NEVER!
Well, OK. If you insist.
A little cream should clear that up.

Actually, wouldn't the juvenile joke be, "Oops, that was the negative."
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Send Musk to Mars, and Bezos in a cylindrical space station, to Uranus... That would be an improvement.

It's a portal, all right.

The actuary, who began competing in 2018, claimed this year's title during an esports event in Las Vegas, which was streamed online and broadcast live on TV. Hopefully there were no performance-enhancing drugs involved
Just drugs on the part of anyone watching this on TV. What, there were no darts competitions going on then?

The company has published a new message in the official Windows documentation detailing the end of development for the legacy console mode, a special compatibility tool designed to run old command-line apps in Windows 10. PowerShell ought to be enough for everyone

I didn't even know it existed, and now it's going away...
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

power shell is an abort***. It's like they took ms-dos, smoked a crap load of crack and then came up with the "language".

Adobe has abandoned its proposed $20 billion acquisition of product design software company Figma, as there was “no clear path to receive necessary regulatory approvals” from UK and EU watchdogs. They'll have to figure some other way to get it out of the market

In software development, “Technical Debt” often emerges as a foreboding specter, casting a long shadow over codebases and development teams alike. Yet, herein lies a provocative truth: technical debt is not a tangible entity lurking within lines of code. Matter of fact it's all debt
|
|
|
|
|
No, technical debt isn't tangible, but it definitely impacts budgets. Kind of like dark matter isn't tangible, but it impacts galaxy evolution.
