I think there might be a snarkiness inflection point, or possibly singularity, where one actually starts becoming more conciliatory and accepting of other people's flagrant stupidity.
Messing with the laws of time and space is a dangerous thing, Kent.

Especially these new keyboards which strip the final "e" from your message subject. 
Although technically, "anymore" isn't valid outside of the USA. It should be two words: "any more".

Yeah, nowadays it has to be sanitized and handed to you while both parties are wearing PPE through a plexiglass box that is under negative pressure to suck up any remaining virus trapped inside.
And no, I didn't read the article. I clicked on the link thinking I'd find something marginally interesting and realized I was looking at one of those articles where several thousand words are splattered onto a blank page, much like a Jackson Pollock painting, but in the case of the article, has no meaning, consciously or subconsciously derived.

VPNs are not perfect, and using a corporate VPN system can create bottlenecks, as I've mentioned previously. But in some cases, using a VPN router at the employee's end may make it easier to manage their device's security and other policy settings and keep organizational data from accidentally ending up in a child's math homework. And having a standard network device configuration deployed to employees at home also could address issues like quality of service (QoS) and specific protocol support required to ensure SIP phone systems and specific company applications get priority over Fortnite.
Most home routers support QoS in some form, but they may require more technical expertise to configure than employees can muster. Your IT helpdesk isn't going to be very well prepared to walk employees through configuring random Wi-Fi routers, so it may help to select and standardize on a small number of supported routers—and to provide some backup connectivity options for employees when their ISPs fail (like a cellular modem).

if corporate IT wants to stick a box between an (already VLANed off port) on my router and work device to add a layer of paranoia they can; but I'm not letting them put anything in a place to be able to spy on the rest of my network.
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?

They hold way more power. They charge almost instantly. What's taking so long to get them out there? But are they included?

I suppose the best answer is $$$$
Either too few money now for the investigation / development / production
or
the fear of too few money afterwards in charging, maintenance, post-selling actions...

Where is the trap?
I don't think they are going to give up "that easy".
One thing (to not call it "revenge") pretty possible I can think of is:
if you opt out, they will show you the crappiest results possible, google adds with insecure javascripts or things like that...
They do know who you are and what you do, whether you like it or not

C#8 added the index ^ and range .. operators. In this post I am attempting to demystify both in the most comprehensive way. For those not invited to play with the deer and/or antelope

So, C# can do that now. But why? Why would I use that? I fail to see any useful scenario.

GitHub also establishes a $1 million "developer defense fund" to help open source developers fight against abusive DMCA Section 1201 takedown claims. Always amazing what a bit of bad publicity can accomplish
For those wondering, WTE is "youtube-dl"...me too.
OK, it's for downloading YouTube videos, but when you can already access all the cat videos you want, why download?

YouTube could solve this by not allowing anyone to see videos.

With nearly 100 studies on the books, scientists can now say with certainty that coffee can help reduce the risk of heart ailments, stroke, and even keep your brain healthy. Is it somewhere between 12 and 20 cups a day?

Over the years I have observed that many engineers tend to attribute much of the success or failure of a company to the technical choices made. May you not live in interesting times

Researchers came across stolen user data in logs stored on a cloud server. It's offline now. I'm still trying to figure out who the victim is here
Besides the people on Facebook, that is.
