This phrase is, by now, common programmer knowledge, a reminder that the person first writing a piece of code shouldn’t buy convenience at the expense of the people who will have to read it and modify it in the future. And programmers are blue more than they are red

Primordial black holes can theoretically be turned into powerful and rechargeable "batteries," a new paper says. But it has some supermassive caveats. The cord keeps getting sucked down the black hole

A new global study of over 1,600 software testers reveals that 78 percent have already adopted some form of AI to improve productivity. Software...testers... What's that again?

The cutting-edge technology was used to tease a new chapter of the rock band: after 50 years of Kiss, the band is now interested in a kind of digital immortality. They missed having the headline, "Kiss and ABBA collaborate"
That should go down well with both sets of fans (I'm assuming the Venn diagram of the two groups fans don't overlap much)

I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

On November 30, we reported about an unwanted “HP Smart” app being installed on some systems without user knowledge or consent. Our initial findings revealed that HP Smart is being pushed via the Microsoft Store on Windows 11 or 10, which stands true, but this issue isn’t as simple as it may appear. HP, Brother, Canon. What's the difference?

It is 40 years since Turbo Pascal revolutionized the coding marketplace with a slick (for the time) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and performance to spare. So why aren't we all using it today? "Those were the days, my friend. We thought they'd never end."
Except to close off a block, of course.

This weekend we published a feature looking at the performance improvements, or regressions, one can expect if they were to move from a clean-installed Windows 10 22H2 system to a clean-installed Windows 11 23H2 PC Should I just pin a news item "Windows upgrade causes problems" and say my job is done?

Microsoft has released a new Insider build for testers in the Canary Channel. Build 26002 includes changes to the taskbar and system tray, but the standout feature is a new Energy Saver tool. Is it called, "Don't generate images with AI"?

This is the first time the carbon emissions caused by using an AI model for different tasks have been calculated. What does that work out to in hamsters?

A simple game of global thermonuclear war will solve all the carbon emission problems... Hoping for nice game of chess instead.
