Many Linux users are ticked off and anxious about Microsoft joining the Linux Foundation. They are missing the real significance of that move. "There is this thing called the GPL, which we disagree with … nobody can ever improve the software."

Nice one.
I actually know a guy, fresh out of high school, who told me microservices were the way to go.
Microservices would solve ALL of our problems!
I showed him how to develop, test and deploy a single service that wasn't even micro, but needed three other services to run.
That was the last time I heard him talk about microservices

While it’s natural that flashy consumer applications are capturing the public’s imaginations, AI’s capacity to transform another area doesn’t get as much attention – the way software itself is developed. Except for the developers that develop the developing computers
|
|

|

On my team, the developers are much like the computers, in that they don't do anything unless you're behind them.

Ain't gonna happen unless computers can deal with users and customers that have no idea what they want and keep changing their minds.
|
|
|
|
|
but, imho, the "requirements" some of these kind of users and customers (including myself in the design stage of a project  ) are exactly the ones that should be delegated to computers because they will not be tired during the iterations and can reproduce what had been done right in the previous iterations ...
of course, it does not apply to the extreme ones (users or customers) that don't really know what they want

Following a decade of intensive research into graphene and two-dimensional materials a new semiconductor material shows potential for the future of super-fast electronics. The bad news? You have to build your circuits a molecule at a time.
|

Being so thin, InSe is rapidly damaged by oxygen and moisture present in the atmosphere.
That could be a problem as well. We do really need a new material though

Phew! I thought you were going to say I'd have to think in Russian.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

When you've got to go, but you're out there in space, zipped up in a spacesuit, with no toilet in sight and a crew of other astronauts around, what do you do? I guess it is rocket science
|
|
|
|
|
Just add a small docking port in the back for attaching a normal household vacuum that's been slightly modified. There's also a seal around your entire back area that separates that area from the rest of the suit so that it can run a warm slightly pressurised beam of water around to wash you. That port + seal can be extended to interface with a special space suit toilet you can drag along with you or have readily installed on the outside of the craft, all in porcelain ofc.
Imagine the epiphanies you can have, sitting and doing your business on the outside of the ISS.

Microsoft has made several adjustments to its design language over the last few years, starting with Windows 8 and evolving into what we now know as "Microsoft Design Language 2" or MDL2 in Windows 10. Did they check to see if this name is trademarked elsewhere first?

File storage services like Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive are very popular these days. There are alternatives. One of them is Nextcloud, an open-source alternative to Dropbox and the others that you install and maintain on your own server. Just in case you're looking to drop your dropbox

WinAero, today, reports: "a sensational report is doing the rounds of the internet." : [^]Quote: Microsoft stuck a deal with FireEye Inc. that will allow them to share the telemetry data from Windows 10 with this third-party cybersecurity company.
As part of the deal, FireEye's software "iSIGHT Intelligence tools" will be integrated into Windows Defender. This will open the doors for FireEye to see telemetry from every device running Windows 10.
This is the first time when telemetry information is being shared with a third party. Earlier, there were no statements about such deals between Microsoft and other companies.
However, the situation has changed. Now the vast amount of telemetry data that Microsoft has can be accessed via a subscription billing model. This option will be available for security teams like anti-virus software developers. It sounds like if you pay enough, then you can get in.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008
