#1 Do not install it?
#2 Pay attention it doesn't come as an harmless update

A total of 756 million users of LinkedIn have had their data compromised and similar to the April headlines, a hacker was able to grab user details such as email address, phone numbers, company information, full names, LinkedIn IDs, genders and links to 3rd party social media accounts. Data posted to internet available on the internet
But now some hacker will know my gender!

I suppose the guy calling this a breach didn't know what web scrapping is.

GitHub Copilot draws context from the code you’re working on, suggesting whole lines or entire functions. It helps you quickly discover alternative ways to solve problems, write tests, and explore new APIs without having to tediously tailor a search for answers on the internet. This is your captain speaking: we will be cruising at an altitude of 30,000 KLoC...

The intention of today’s post is to acknowledge and clarify the confusion caused by our PC Health Check tool, share more details as to why we updated the system requirements for Windows 11 and set the path for how we will learn and adjust. Microsoft causes confusion about Microsoft products. News at 11.
That's 'at Windows 11', of course.

Look at these upcoming changes:
Quote: Snipping Tool continues to be available but the old design and functionality in the Windows 10 version has been replaced with those of the app previously known as Snip & Sketch.
Start is significantly changed in Windows 11 including the following key deprecations and removals:
Named groups and folders of apps are no longer supported and the layout is not currently resizable.
Pinned apps and sites will not migrate when upgrading from Windows 10.
Live Tiles are no longer available. For glanceable, dynamic content, see the new Widgets feature.
Two things of note here:
They have replaced the Snipping Tool with Snip & Sketch, but they cleverly word it as though it's the same application, just with new functionality.
The second thing that caught my eye is the removal of support for named groups and folders of applications. I'm holding out hope that this doesn't mean what it obviously sounds like. It sounds to me like we'll be left with a super-long list of every application on the device with no organization or categorization. That will suck.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

End-to-end (E2E) testing is a technique that verifies that all the features of a system and its interconnected subsystems work as expected. Testing the code? Intriguing idea, I wonder if it would help?

40 years ago, we referred to this as system testing.

I really wonder about the state of the industry when a publication decides that an article like this discusses something that will come as news to various development groups.

Next up; an article on these new fangled IDEs. I also hear there are debuggers.

I remember when SD Times was a heavyweight software journal.

End-to-end (E2E) testing is a violation of social distancing, and, often, the bitter endings leave a bad taste in management's mouth, and pair programmer's divorce.

The government's new report on UFOs means the truth has arrived—or has it? The Truth is in there
|
|

Am I being overly cynical for observing that if the Pentagon [b]DID[/b] have proof that aliens were real those encounters would be ETFO reports (well actually something different that would be less obvious if leaked, but you get the point) and not included in the UFO report they were ordered to produce.
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?

But naturally. If they were known to be aliens, They wouldn't be Unidentified Flying Objects now, would they?
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

With the latest Visual Studio tools in preview and the Windows 11 Insider SDK, you’ll be able to take advantage of ARM64EC to incrementally transition your app to running with native speed on ARM, even if you have dependencies or plugins that don’t support ARM yet. Become ARMed and dangerous

Except of course that it only works to bridge Arm64 and x64 binaries. And somehow I suspect most devs who can't do an arm64 build due to legacy binaries are stuck in 32bit x86 land.

While this has many interesting applications, mouse movements can also reveal sensitive information about the users such as their age or gender. Mousers are from Mars; Trackpadders are from Venus

I wonder what they'd make of those occasions when my mouse gets violently slammed onto the desk.

Digikeyers are also from Mars.
