Introducing small, but noticeable changes, can make the alerts more useful and harder to ignore. Because everyone appreciates stuff popping up and dancing on their screens

Until the user gets used to them.
OTOH, I haven't seen a security alert in so long, I honestly have no idea what one would look like.

Don't know since I always turned it off, but if I hadn't, I probably would have eventually tuned it out.

Although ransomware is the favorite attack method used against business, ad fraud malware is growing fast and poses a substantial threat to both consumers and businesses. 400 variants of ransomware? Did the Pokemon designers get involved?

For the past couple of weeks I've been working on an IL (Intermediate Language) Viewer for Visual Studio Code. Because sometimes ildasm is just too far away
Besides, I can never seem to type that without an error.

|
|
|

Does ildasm run on a Mac? I think what he's saying is that since it works in VS Code, it'll also run on any platform.

Ah, very true. Also, they seem to have pulled it out of the main .NET install? I can't seem to find it anymore. Glad he wrote this anyway.

I think it's available in the Windows SDK now. At least it's in the WinSDK folders on my machine.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

Ah, there it is, thank you. 
Still, it seems to be such a waste to have to install all that for ildasm. One may as well just install dotPeek, or this.

Google today announced that the code for Chrome for iOS is now part of its Chromium open source project. Does that mean they're cancelling it soon?

If you were about to start playing a game of online poker, you might want to think again. Humankind has just been beaten at yet another game, this time Heads-Up No-Limit Texas Hold'em poker. This is a milestone moment for artificial intelligence (AI). At least we're still masters of "Go Fish"

This helps demonstrate how *unlikely* it is that there are other intelligent civilizations out there in the galaxy.
Life is known to have existed for about 3 billion years on Earth, but only in the last few million did it become truly intelligent. And then only by chance.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

When considering the estimated number of galaxies and Earth-like planets within those galaxies I'd rather take the bet there's an intelligent civilization out there somewhere. More or less intelligent than humans I can't say. Within our galaxy alone it's somewhere in the range of 1-40 billion planets depending on if you count red dwarf stars.
These[^] links[^] give some data and estimated numbers.

Somewhere between 1 planet and 40 billion planets? That's quite a wide error margin.

It's closer to 1 billion if only counting sun-like stars; closer to 40 billion if you count other stars which are not necessarily sun-like but still have goldilocks zones such as red dwarf stars

Are you sure about it? I would say we are still quite dumb.
Einstein already told it: Only two things are infinite... the universe and human stupidity. And about the first one I am not 100% sure

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
