The new languages are Java, Kotlin, Scala, C/C++, Objective C, C#, Go, Typescript, HTML/CSS and Less. It looks like you're trying to assign to a variable. Do you want help with that?

Half of all work tasks will be handled by machines by 2025 in a shift likely to worsen inequality, a World Economic Forum report has forecast. Can we pick which half? TPS reports, maybe?

The move comes in response to increasing interest from consumers and central banks in digital currencies, and it will allow PayPal users to buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrencies within PayPal. They're expanding (further) into the money laundering market?

After nearly a decade of studies, the passwords research group in Carnegie Mellon's CyLab Security and Privacy Institute has developed a policy for creating passwords that maintains balance between security and usability—one backed by hard science. Apparently 'P@ssword!' isn't good. Who knew?

Voyager 2, a space probe launched in 1977 that finally made its way out of our solar system in 2018, is recording some weird data out in interstellar space. I don't know - it's pretty dense down here at times

It doesn't "yet" support signing into Edge using a Microsoft Account.
That's quite an interesting thought, isn't it. Your Microsoft Account could extend to Linux, even if it's just for browser stuff.
But what if you could log into a Linux machine using your Microsoft Account. Could be interesting how that could be leveraged down the line.
Y'know, Microsoft really should get on an buy Canonical (and/or SUSE when EQT is finished with them).

For as many Linux VMs as are currently hosted in Azure, I'm surprised that hasn't been done years ago.

Hehehe... before IBM bought Red Hat I thought Microsoft should buy them. Not because Microsoft needed them for cloud market penetration as IBM did but simply to stop competitors like IBM getting them, and (very importantly) to tightly integrate the entire Microsoft ecosystem with the leading corporate Linux.
Well, they didn't listen to my advice but Canonical and SUSE are still out there.... 
If MS's purchase of GitHub is anything to go buy, a MS purchase of Canonical would not do any harm at all. No, really. I mean it. Stop looking at me like that!

Of course... as if they never had pushed something without giving any information in advance or asking the user...
But no worry... they are working really hard in the fix.
The fixed version will ask "Do you want it now? Or yesterday?" and have a new icon for the dialog box.

Author Robert Collier said that "Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out." That's especially true when it comes to security. "What we caught, we threw away; what we didn't catch, we kept."
Sure, it's mostly an advertisement for their scanning products, but that doesn't mean they're not right (IMO)

How is that news??
Code that can't be maintained is a liability, regardless of security. If you don't know how it works, you don't give guarantees.

The Porting Assistant for .NET analyzes NuGet package dependencies and API usage in .NET Framework applications at the solution level. So: you're stopping active work on it?
At least that seems to be what people mean when they open source stuff these days.
