A very decent read, IMO. Thanks for posting that. I've shared it with others at work.

Thank you - I occasionally get these things right.
I was originally going to go with all/some/few. I think I'll change that for the mailout

It's not you. The number of ridiculous articles and blog posts are overwhelming -- if you were to filter them out, The Insider News would be an empty void. And besides, I'd miss the constant opportunity to take potshots at the silly articles! So you're providing a great service, at least to me.

What he describes as a "wicked problem" will still face lots of technical challenges. It's more a case of first having to get everyone to agree on the requirements.

Many businesses have taken to spying on their workers. Don’t do that. It’s a big mistake that will do more harm than good. And don't forget about those TPS reports (with the new cover sheet)
Trust seems to be the theme for today.

For applications where the number of insertions and deletions stays about the same—and the amount of data added is roughly equal to that removed—linear-probing hash tables can operate at high storage capacities without sacrificing speed. Write it on your tombstone?

As in:
insert into Life (name, birthdate) values ('Marc', '1962-08-19');
delete from Life where name = 'Marc';?
For the purposes of this example, we assume a trigger that records the record delete date!

Only a very small number of software engineers expect to be back in the office any time soon. "Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go"
I guess this means they don't trust the office?

This is terrible: it will destroy the value/status of having an office with a window that lifts you one geek-step above your micro-serf peers

Yeah, now we all have windows. The managers must hate that. Especially those places where the managers get all the window offices and the rest of the floor is cubicles. I remember dedicating a monitor to a webcam view of an outdoor scene just so I could have a "window."

Here in Europeland windows are mandatory in workspaces. And there are definite rulos on the erognomics of the workplace, not abiding to them may cause the offending offices to be closed off by law until fixed.

I had an office with a window at one company, from 2001-2002.
(Okay, technically when I ran my own company in my basement from ~1995-1999 my workspace had an 18"x32" basement window in the upper corner with the view of a window well.)

Windows 11 on ARM adds 64-bit Intel app emulation, but fans have been wondering whether that support will come to Windows 10 on ARM too. It will not. No, this will get them to upgrade, isn't it?
They're never doing to upgrade, will they?

If you’re not yet familiar with TypeScript, it’s a language that builds on JavaScript by adding statically checked types. For the types that type TypeScript
"The biggest change we’ve made since the beta is that ECMAScript module support for Node.js 12 has been deferred to a future release, and is now only available as an experimental flag in nightly releases." Is it just me, or have they seemed to 'defer' a lot of features recently? I don't know. It might just be me doing that crazy talk again, but maybe - and hear me out here, Redmond - maybe, start shipping when it's done and not by a date announcement?

Microsoft is now rolling out a new media player that matches Windows 11's look and feel as a replacement for the Windows 10 Groove Music and (in the future) the legacy Windows Media Player app. This will get everyone to upgrade!
Looks...exactly like the old one to me.

Quote: For Windows Insiders who still use the legacy Windows Media Player, it will remain available in Windows Tools at least until Microsoft has included enough of its functionality and features in the new media player app for Windows 11.
So does this mean it will never replace their existing media players, or that it'll force replace WMP while missing some feature so fundamental that I end up using a 3rd party application instead? The history of every other attempt MS has made to replace a core Windows application guarantees that New Media Player will never be able to do everything WMP does.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
