Will it stop my neighbor from screaming and jumping up and down when "his" team scores?

Oh great, like I really need help with that.
I take an antidepressant as part of migraine prevention therapy. One of the minor side-effects is that if I listen to a piece of music, it will continue playing in my head long after the music stops. It's a temporary aberration in short-term memory and completely harmless, but can be disconcerting.Kent Sharkey wrote: "midnight train going anywhere"

You need medication to get this side effect? For most people, it happens whether they want it to or not.

I need the medication to keep my head from hurting so badly I want to put a bullet through it just to make it stop. It kind of makes the high-fidelity earworm effect an amusing side note in comparison.

That album turns 50 years old next year, and I remember buying it when it first came out. Gladys can still belt 'em out, though.

Why does that remind me of the episode from Futurama where Fry was getting commercials in his sleep.

Agile was a reaction to the dysfunctional methods that were not working at the time - the late 1990s - but Agile was in many ways an overreaction. Oh goodie - something new to ignore

Guido van Rossum, the creator of the Python programming language, today announced that he has unretired and joined Microsoft’s Developer Division. "And now for something completely different"
Looking forward to Visual Python 
And even more: the reaction from the Python fans

Holy good gravy.
SteelPython here we come, perhaps.
Hang on, I did mention Python++ a few messages back. Or Python#?
I can't imagine the Python people will be happy about this.

Oh, apparently he really is going to work on Python! I hope this lasts longer than Microsoft's culturing of PHP.

I assume what happened here was that all the petri dishes got lurid colored spots all over them, and were than sterilized in an autoclave?
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?

Something like that I imagine. The money was likely autoclaved, at any rate.

We recap the Future of Desktop webinar, unpacking the latest in Windows Desktop development, developer preferences, tooling and Q&A. They've changed their minds again?
Flash everywhere! No, wait - TCL!

This being Telerik, they have a handy component package for whatever the past, present or future of desktop looks like!

Yeah, bit of a vested interest for them. I didn't notice any direct advertising of their stuff in the article (although I admit I didn't watch the video)

Microsoft recommends using app-based authenticators and security keys instead. I think it's just they got tired of explaining the difference between SMS and SMS
Systems Management Server
Short Message Service
Storage Management System
System Managed Storage
and probably a few dozen more (just between Microsoft and IBM)

Don't forget, System Management System!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Will Douglas Heaven November 12, 2020 MIT Technology Review [^]Quote: Last month Nature published a damning response written by 31 scientists to a study from Google Health that had appeared in the journal earlier this year. Google was describing successful trials of an AI that looked for signs of breast cancer in medical images. But according to its critics, the Google team provided so little information about its code and how it was tested that the study amounted to nothing more than a promotion of proprietary tech.
“We couldn’t take it anymore,” says Benjamin Haibe-Kains, the lead author of the response, who studies computational genomics at the University of Toronto. “It’s not about this study in particular—it’s a trend we’ve been witnessing for multiple years now that has started to really bother us.”

The Resurgence of Functional Programming track at QCon Plus 2020 featured several experts describing how functional programming makes developing software a joyful experience. I prefer GoSub

Some interesting quotes about the evolution of C# there.
I must admit that I like many of the functional additions to C#.... but I always put them in a class.
