Nelek has a good point ... However, this is quite well done from the perspective of a newbie in Rust (with chronic lack of time, like me ), as it is very minimalistic yet quite informative, even including Windows installation info . Looks like an interesting track to follow, thus bookmarked, thanks ...

The FBI said that cybercriminals are buying ads to impersonate legitimate brands, like cryptocurrency exchanges. Ads are often placed at the top of search results but with “minimum distinction” between the ads and the search results, the feds say, which can look identical to the brands that the cybercriminals are impersonating. Just don't block the nice ones, please

The real news in that sentence is that FBI believes in the existence of legitimate cryptocurrency exchanges.

Microsoft Edge has an ad blocker built in. Don't know how good it is but I don't see very many advertisements. I also use the Strict privacy features to block third party cookies and popups except from sites I trust, such as USAA and the Colorado School of Mines. What's really nice is that I use Edge's sync features so anywhere I log into my Microsoft Edge account in Edge I automatically get these features. While I'm using Edge I suspect Chrome and Firefox have similar capabilities.

I use uBlock, and by default all sites are blocked - I then whitelist the good ones (such as CP).
One of the things I really like about it is it tells you how many ads it blocked on the current page - get a High Score and your prize is to stay on the blacklist

SBF was extradited overnight from the Bahamas to New York where he's expected to be arraigned Thursday. Honour, thieves, etc.

ZeroHedge covered it as "Caroline Ellison has f---ed Bankman-Fried one final time".

Seems Bankman-Fried bought the bus, put himself under it and kept yelling "nobody's here" while FTX execs kept pointing to him

Increasing the inefficiency of physical activity could boost cardiovascular fitness. So give it a try and lose weight today
It's kind of a 'duh' paper, isn't it? I guess actually quantifying it makes some sense.
"In fact, just 11 minutes a day of walking like Mr. Teabag was equivalent to 75 minutes of vigorously intense physical activity per week, presenting a novel means of boosting cardiovascular fitness."

Interesting research, imho only limited hypotheses can be considered.
I'd like to see an fMRI study of people actively programming with three distinct groups:
1) python or vb (weakly typed)
2) C++ or C# (strongly typed)
3) LISP
for each group i'd like to see results for writing code that requires recursion, and code with multiple if/then or switch branching.
is that too much to ask for

Those would be excellent follow-up studies!

Microsoft doesn’t want Windows 11 to become boring or unexciting. Microsoft wants to keep Windows 11 constantly updated with “Moment” and some “feature” updates. "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."
You know I felt I had to go there, didn't you?

Need to watch that again. Tried watching the new one and agreed with those who said it is boring, pointless fluff. Almost fell asleep. But never on the original!

Am I the only one who read that as, "Microsoft doesn't want Windows 11 to become stable or predictable"?
But why would they bother fixing bugs (boring!), when they can add shiny new icons (exciting!) instead?

Regardless of how you feel about XAML, you'll have a very hard job convincing me it's the best it can be. Beyond the pronunciation of it

Lacey's article came to a stop before he addressed his topic. Lots of kvetching about the state of XAML, but nothing about what he'd like to see done about the problem.
He also missed the fundamental problem that XAML faces now, and that it is an XML application. The cool kids all poo-poo XML, citing JSON as the cat's ass.

I thought XAML was dead. I guess it's used for cross-platform development??? If it's not dead, it should be! Where's the garlic and wooden stake?
