For millions of people who participate in activities such as snorkeling and scuba diving each year, hand signals are the only option for communicating safety and directional information underwater. Blub blub blub? Blub blub!!

Data from my informal survey shows most Windows 10 users are content with the status quo, and feel no pressure to move to Windows 11 — even with version 22H2 arriving soon. I don't care what they may say, Windows 10 is just alright with me

After offering them for over a decade, Heroku today announced that it will eliminate all of its free services — pushing users to paid plans. So instead you can pay and be abused?
I know, I know - "Who's Heroku?" They're moderately big with web developers. Or I guess were.
"For the uninitiated, Heroku allows programmers to build, run and scale apps across programming languages including Java, PHP, Scala and Go. Salesforce acquired the company for $212 million in 2010 and subsequently introduced support for Node.js and Clojure and Heroku for Facebook, a package to simplify the process of deploying Facebook apps on Heroku infrastructure."

Well, there's the source of fraud and abuse.

An antitrust lawsuit against Apple would be a dramatic escalation in the administration’s battle against the tech giants. What goes around, comes back to bite you in the butt
I would have thought the Store Tax would have brought this on, but instead it's AirTags? I guess Tile has friends in dark places?

AlCapone was caught at the end for tax evasion...
Personally I don't care what they at the end use to fine them, I only hope that the fine really hurts. If not, they will continue laughing their a... off.

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?

According to Gourianov, the quantum computing industry has been led astray by greedy physicists who’ve hyped up the tech’s possibilities in order to rip off VCs and get paid private-sector salaries for doing academic research. He'd rather they overhype (and invest in) his research focus

No really? Move aside AI, there's a new hype-kid on the block stealing your VC money!

Quote: Per Gourianov’s article:
Shor’s algorithm has been a godsend to the quantum industry, leading to untold amounts of funding from government security agencies all over the world. However, the commonly forgotten caveat here is that there are many alternative cryptographic schemes that are not vulnerable to quantum computers. It would be far from impossible to simply replace these vulnerable schemes with so-called “quantum-secure” ones.
Even if this change were to happen to every internet connected device today; the NSA, etc would still want quantum computers capable of PWNing RSA, etc. They've got data centers full of decades of encrypted traffic sitting around waiting for a crack to be developed. It's not as flashy as reading what Vladolf Putler is sending to his generals today, but that sort of historical data is very useful for understanding what your rivals decision making processes are and why they did things you've never been able to understand.
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?

Many big companies can't resist doing this. Microsoft has never been able to resist, it seems. The more things stay the same, the more they stay the same
Looks like today's theme may be mangled aphorisms

Nearly half of companies are using outdated, legacy backup and recovery infrastructure to manage and protect their data, according to a survey commissioned by data management company Cohesity. If you haven't found out it's broke yet, keep using it?
|
|

I assume that the solution is to use Cohesity's products. Well, The Tao Of Backup said it before, and much more memorably.

And the other half have no backup/recovery infrastructure.  Probably more truth to that than I realize.

Split evenly between those who never had any such infrastructure, and those with a pile of really old backups that they've been unable to access up update since their new laptop came without a CD/DVD burner. (or in some really old cases a floppy drive.)

This interesting concept of the majority being overshadowed by the vocal few is quite fascinating and holds true in software engineering. {...}

And I frequently wish that the vocal minority would just please shut the .... up.

Undoubtedly this feature will become very popular because it represents an elegant way to solve some issues with actual string literal. I think cooked string literals are more nutritious though

Enjoy 🙂🙂🙂 I'll make a serious try, but don't expect wonders!

Seconded, but I've only done Access VBA. God I hate those strings, especially in queries. Never ever on the first try.
