You mean you built a necklace; that's not an invention. It's the same like cooking; not every new meal is an "invention".
Putting magnets inside your nose is not even near being practical for the application he describes.

Shepherding An invisible property of a progamming language and its ecosystem that drives people into solving problems in ways that are natural for the programming language itself rather than ways that are considered "better" in some sense.

I've come across some of the arguments literally in respect to C++ - it's perfectly possible to write safe code in C++, but somehow even commonly used tools frequently still have memory safety issues.

In F# you can create mutable variable but it requires a lot of ceremony and you start thinking whether you could do things some other way. So yes, I guess that makes sense.

Shepherding: An invisible property of a programming language that helps (but does not necessarily prevent) novice programmers and experienced idiots from doing bad and ugly things.
Strong typing is a good example of successful shepherding, IMO.

Microsoft has patented a cryptocurrency mining system that leverages human activities, including brain waves and body heat, when performing online tasks such as using search engines, chatbots, and reading ads. Two insidercoins* to whoever can explain this to me
*Insidercoins have no commercial value or physical nature, only bragging rights.

And the coin is called a "Neo"?

It means either:
a. They've heard that some patent troll is about to patent something equally as vague and meaningless, that he could use to sue companies that do just about anything at all that involves body movement.
b. The department hasn't got a clue what they're doing, but a higher-up made an unconscious reference to something about using body movements, so they quickly cobbled together some old nonsense about computing and body movements, just to impress that higher up.
c. All your motion are belong to us.
Personally, I'd rather it were a, but it's probably b. If it were google, it'd be c.

Visual Studio gives C++ developers a productivity boost, plus better debugging for Blazor WebAssembly offline apps. Still no help with the belly-button variety

Of course, this means that until you've completed writing line 253, lines 18-64, 93-98, 115-139, 176-183, and 221-230 will be full of squiggly lines.

Paradoxically, the more you save on a flash drive, the lighter it gets. In case you're getting bored with all the isolation, now you can test this

{*sigh*} Where did this idiot study?
You don't "add" electrons, you just move all the unattached and free-spirited ones to one side of the dance floor.
Net weight change: zero.
However, you could possibly say that the stick becomes heavier when you plug it in (but don't take that as being a fact, because I don't know exactly what current flows there are in a USB stick).

You could also argue that the more it is plugged into the machines, the less it weighs as the contacts wear down.
On the other hand... It could weight more as it is charged due to dust being attracted to it.

Cumulative update breaks net connectivity in some cases for apps like Office 365 Good thing no one is doing that these days
For those that note that I tend to post more bug reports about Microsoft, it's mostly because it's the company that affects us the most.

I think that their hard work in the creation of new bugs has something to do too.

I'm just so incredibly sick of hearing about troubles with windows 10, now that I no longer have to suffer it myself, and it saddens me that so many people are losing time and wasting effort because of all their incompetent decisions and changes.
winio is yet another example where "IT'S FOR YOUR SECURITY!" has been incessantly screamed at people, to make them bend the knee to irrelevant behaviour of tyrannical idiots.
Security? I'm typing this in a VM with weven loaded. Let's see satya's sh*theads beat that, for security.
