At least the librarian won't need to tell anyone to keep quiet - "In space, no one can hear you scream."

So, basically, we've got a clever - if entirely redundant - shiny new replacement for micro-fiche and we need to send it to the moon because, er, well ... no, I'm a bit lost at this point.
Who's actually paying for this?

Vulnerabilities including the bug reportedly responsible for Equifax's data breach are still common elements of open-source systems used in the enterprise. Yeah, "Boo!" open source! Let's go back to proprietary programming languages and write everything ourselves.

At the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation in Brisbane, Australia, next week, roboticists from the University of Washington, in Seattle, will present RoboFly, a laser-powered insect-sized flapping wing robot that performs the first (very brief) untethered flight of a robot at such a small scale. Now the robots are coming for the jobs of the hard-working flies

Until now, requirements for architecture were left to the discretion of companies, developers and their target audiences, recent legal changes in the European Union and the United States have brought a new player to the table: regulations. Slap a "do not hack (please)" sticker on it?

Security researchers have found a security flaw in Electron, a software framework that has been used in the past half-decade for building a wealth of popular desktop applications. You mean everyone building on a JavaScript-based 'platform' could be a problem?

When the creators of Electron was asked if this is a widespread issue their reply was..."We're not positive".

Surely they could've put a better spin on it then that.

It's relatively easy these days to find critics of Skype, the popular online calling service that Microsoft acquired in 2011 for $8.5 billion. They let people use it?
|

There's some sort of weird bias going on since Skype was always sh*t.

That's true, but it's even shittier since Microshyte got ahold of it.

"JavaScript fatigue" is a well known concept (which also brought a lot of good) sired by the explosion of the JS community in the latest years but I would like to open a discussion about the rest of the software technologies as well. Or just 'X Fatigue article fatigue?'
