Wow! The more I hear about Weleven, the more outraged I become. I think I will stay on 10 until it goes out of support.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Functional programming has enjoyed a surge in recent years. You can see in the proliferation of books and conferences, in the rapid growth of languages like Scala and Clojure, and in the very public conversions Doesn't that depend on the question?

|
They have a point but it's still funny that the bad functional example uses imperative-style code
|
|
|

Like when predicate languages such as Prolog was the big thing: If you didn't understand some code, 99 of 100 Prolog experts would resort to explaining the Prolog interpreter's algorithmic, sequential processing of the statements.

WASM initially promised performance gains and greater portability for web applications, but now is making an impact across a growing number of environments. Write web, run everywhere

There's something quite satisfying about the infinite monkey therorem, which goes like this: an infinite number of monkeys typing at an infinite number of typewriters would one day produce the entire works of Shakespeare, really showing that smug dead genius what's what. To eep, or not to eep
Well, computer-simulated monkeys

To pee or not to pee.
FTFY!

Maybe they could make a movie about this experiment and call it "Plan it with the Apes". I think most monkeys declined though because they had prior obligations writing super hero movies for Disney with that big green ape that smashes things, he's their favorite.

Error handling is a tricky part of software programming. Why has no one thought of this before?!

Cookie-cutter solutions don’t work for complex problems “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.”

Strict adherence to "best practices" is never recommended. They're just guidelines and should be viewed as "when it's possible, you should try do it something like this, but you do you".

Microsoft says Windows customers might find that some of their files are not deleted after resetting their Windows devices with the "Remove everything" option. It leaves behind streaks

This is where whole disk encryption comes into play. If your disk is encrypted when you reset Windows with a "data wipe" the system actually looses the decryption key, effectively making your previous data inaccessible.

Year 2038 problem? Wasn’t that supposed to be solved once and for all years ago? Not quite. We've got plenty of time to fix it, right?

The Linux kernel's foundation is the ancient C89 standard of C. Now, Torvalds has decided to upgrade to 2011's more modern C11 standard. "You are ahead by a century"

At least he's not rewriting it in Rust. Not yet, at least

One of the leaked features is apparently a new desktop Sticker feature that the Redmond firm is working on. Stickers. ... Stickers? ... Stickers.
I guess that's proof they've updated all the icons.

But will the stickers have rounded corners?!

Well by definition they're all sticky, are some of them also brown?
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?

The Advanced Quantum Testbed (AQT) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has open sourced a new electronics control and measurement system for superconducting quantum processors, making the engineering solutions for the emerging hardware more accessible. Great news for those of you building your quantum computers
@chris-maunder should be happy, at the very least

So should all of us. With quantum hardware all our posts will not exist until they have been read. This will make for more efficient storage, spam filters, etc.
