Microsoft MakeCode brings computer science to life for all students with fun projects, immediate results, and both block and text editors for learners at different levels. Never mind the kids, some of these projects look like fun for oldsters

Folly (acronymed loosely after Facebook Open Source Library) is a library of C++14 components designed with practicality and efficiency in mind. Always great to name your product after a word meaning, "lack of good sense"
Or did they mean, "a costly ornamental building with no practical purpose"

A wise move.
Now everyone will be able to (and therefore will) steal everyone else's personal data, so if the EU goes after fb, it can cry victimisation.
Never attribute to generosity that which is adequately explained by evildoing.

Did they really looked for the acronyms on purpose? Or is it just a foolishness?

When performing a full antivirus scan using Windows Defender, a recent definition update or Windows update is causing the program to crash in the middle of a scan. Please tell me the icon is all right?
Edit: fixed the URL

So they don't even know which?

Are you sure that's the right link? That one seems to be about the latest updates breaking VBA programs.

If this trend continues, we estimate the average internet customer will hit ISP data caps and pay associated overage fees within the next three years. And you won't believe how much it's gone up in the last 100 years!

Now the question is...
is all that data incoming traffic? Or were telemetry and slurped data counted too?

For pioneering computer scientist Donald Knuth, good coding is synonymous with beautiful expression. He wrote the books on it
Hopefully he'll have the time to finish the series.
"I write an average of five new programs every week. Poets have to write poems. I have to write computer programs."

Knuth said: The best way to communicate from one human being to another is through story
He must be a cr@p programmer, then.
All the devs I know communicate through bullet-point lists.

At least he didn't said "regular" instead of "beautiful"

Researchers have published a proof of concept they say promises warmer, cheaper, and more robust quantum computing. I hear talcum powder helps with that

"Qubit" is a ridiculous name for them, given that they're superpositional (i.e. they can be both Yes and No at the same time).
Just call them "female".

The next time you complain about having to put on a clean shirt for a video call, consider the challenges others have to deal with while working from home. Dr. Tongue would be pleased
