And the astronauts still haven't paid their parking fines!
They parked in an historical monument, did they not?

Microsoft has released a new portal that will allow you to get behind the scenes with Windows 11 designers. Find out how the icons get baked
Or at least the designers. There has to be a reason.

anyone know of articles which explain why mouse operated screens corner buttons important?
It's related to UI metrics, and 2006 uni lecture pointed out how XP (unless was vista) had issue that start button was not flush to corner, meaning moving mouse to corer edge and clicking did nothing.
Patch fix you can see that on click the mouse moves 1 pixel in to trigger start button.
All this to say that A: the windows 11 menu in middle is great for the right handed population using touch control, but for mouse this is horrendous UI basic design.

We’ve simplified the process down to just one command, simply open a command prompt window with admin privileges and run wsl.exe --install. Because Linux is a virus, or something like that
Looks like the Windows Update to enable this isn't broadly available (yet) - at least this isn't working for me yet.

On the 10th anniversary of its first survey, the multi-vendor State of Devops report concludes that DevOps is still "rarely done well at scale," and that "almost everyone is using the cloud, but most people are using it poorly." So avoid it in HO or Gauge 1 and go full size?

A quirky type of subatomic particle known as the charm meson has the seemingly magical ability to switch states between matter and antimatter (and back again) It turned into a cat?
...and an anti-cat?

Time crystals with their perpetual zero-energy "processes" and particles that can change between states that should destroy each other... at what point do we admit that the universe has really bad bounds-checking and we're just hacking it at this point? Hopefully it has better exception handling

Along with existential angst among developers, the recent debut of GitHub Copilot -- an AI "pair programmer" -- raised all kinds of concerns in the development community, with the Free Software Foundation (FSF) recently calling it "unacceptable and unjust." I thought they were all about sharing?

Microsoft has released the first beta of Windows 11, available to those enrolled in its Windows Insider Program. "I'm not gonna try it—you try it!"
"Until today, getting access to Windows 11 meant installing the Dev preview, which Microsoft says is for “highly technical users” as it has “rough edges.”" <- uh, yeah. "Rough edges" is one way to put it :eyeroll:
