notepad++ or sublime. Has had anything from Microsoft completely outclassed for at least 10+ years.
Meanwhile, Microsoft goes out and dicks with the task bar and the file explorer popup menu because.... well, just because.

You’d think MS treating us like data pawns would be the real concern. 🤣🤣

No.

Don't care, I just want simple.
I will likely install the editor (simple IDE) I wrote about ten years ago. It has (most of*) the features that I want, and nothing I don't want.
* I don't think I have a version which supports sorting selected text.

Notepad++ will do that.
Also good columnar blocking.
It's fast, not quite as snippy as notepad, but not at all slow to start and it won't freeze for 30 minutes if you open a 300MB data file.
I still use regular notepad for some quick/dirty stuff, but if they've made it soft-close that is going to become a delete/uninstall/rename the .exe or something for me most likely. Most of what I use it for are things I explicitly do not want hanging around in a notepad++ tab or anywhere else in memory.

Don't care. Not gonna use it.

At least they made it configurable.

The way that came out on my end:

Oh, so you're serious? Haha

It's a slippery slope.
The way I see it, Notepad has always been little more than a multiline textbox wrapped in an app that has save and load capabilities. For the most part, the Notepad "features" are really features of the Win32 textbox control itself.
If they start adding "just one more tiny feature", it'll end up being bloated, take forever to load (the biggest offender IMO), and a monstrosity nobody will really be happy with.
No thanks. They have VS Code for that.

From the trailer it looks as if they picked low depth, barely humorous humor for 5 year olds. But, if you be a Minecraft fan, looks like the movies based on games genre ain't dead.

Probably... I mean I know adults that play Minecraft though. It's not my cup of tea but I do like city sims, so ya know...

Simple question. Just doing some recon.
Curious to know if anyone ever authed their web APIs with Kerberos or did permissions lookups / auth with LDAP? Personally, even though I had to work with LDAP a few times, never once I have used any version of Kerberos for even internal web APIs.
So, anyone actually use either of these two techs in the context of web APIs in the enterprise and/or for public facing web APIs?

With the suicide booth/pod, I mean...apparently it's now a thing. As the kids say today, what a time to be...alive? (ironically).
I don't know what to make of it. The article doesn't get into how it works. But it does mention it can be 3D-printed and assembled at home. How convenient.

So the only problem is someone didn't profit from the suicide. Got it. /s

I remember reading a few years ago that some states were struggling to find, let's call them, "alternative methods" to use on death row inmates, as there have been instances where their current methods have proven to be ineffective and found to be "inhumane" as they can sometimes just prolong a painful death.
These guys might have found their niche...?

"Police in Switzerland made multiple arrests after a woman reportedly ended her life using a so-called suicide pod, in apparently the first case of its kind."
Had to laugh at the double meaning of "in apparently the first case of its kind."

Octopuses recorded hunting with fish — and punching those that don't cooperate[^]
Quote: Octopuses don’t always hunt alone — but their partners aren’t who you’d expect.
A new study shows that some members of the species Octopus cyanea maraud around the seafloor in hunting groups with fish, which sometimes include several fish species at once.
The research, published in the journal Nature on Monday, even suggests that the famously intelligent animals organized the hunting groups’ decisions, including what they should prey upon.
What’s more, the researchers witnessed the cephalopod species — often called the big blue or day octopus — punching companion fish, apparently to keep them on task and contributing to the collective effort.
Octopuses have often been thought to avoid other members of their species and prowl solo using camouflage. But the study suggests that some octopuses have surprisingly rich social lives — a finding that opens a new window into the marvels of undersea life. It’s an indication that at least one octopus species has characteristics and markers of intelligence that scientists once considered common only in vertebrates.
“I think sociality, or at least attention to social information, is way more deep-rooted in the evolutionary tree than we might think,” said Eduardo Sampaio, a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior and the lead author of the research.
“We are very similar to these animals,” he added. “In terms of sentience, they are at a very close level or closer than we think toward us.”
To understand the inner details of octopus lives, researchers dived for about a month at a reef off the coast of Eilat, Israel, and tracked 13 octopuses for a total of 120 hours using several cameras. The team followed the octopuses for 13 hunts, during which they observed groups of between two and 10 fish working with each octopus.
These hunting groups typically included several species of reef fish, such as grouper and goatfish. The octopuses did not appear to lead the groups, but they did punch at fish to enforce social order — most often at blacktip groupers.
“The ones that get more punched are the main exploiters of the group. These are the ambush predators, the ones that don’t move, don’t look for prey,” Sampaio said.

There are all sorts of unusual animal behaviors.
There is a fish and shrimp that live together. One on one and they react together as one.
I have seen three shows now with instances of different primates making and using medicine.
Primates that plan ahead by harvesting nuts, then preparing them, then going back later to harvest.
Ravens that steal from other ravens are more suspicious of other ravens than those that don't steal.
Polar bears actively hunting baby whales.
Unusual partnerships in the primate kingdom between different individuals which have no obvious beneficial outcome and as such can be best described as friendship.
Toucans hunting and eating bats.
Pelicans eating other birds. Groups actively doing this behavior rather than a one off.
There is a vulture species that eats primarily bones.
Let us say gender fluid albatrosses raising their young in cooperation.

To add to the discussion: Ravens are surprisingly intelligent. They can solve complex problems.
