I would say I'm dating myself by mentioning that, but dating ones self is weird. What if I turned myself down one night because I just didn't feel like going out? I could always ask a chatbot I guess.

Writing prose and writing code have a lot in common, but perhaps the biggest similarity is that neither writers nor programmers can get things done on time. "It's always something"

I usually get my programming done on time, it's just not the time everyone else wishes it could be.

"We've heard from many, many developers, who've frequently requested a PTY-like mechanism in Windows," said Microsoft exec Rich Turner in a recent blog post announcing a Windows Pseudo Console (ConPTY) coming to Windows 10. I thought the existing console was pretty pseudo-useful myself

Over a century before Allen and Gates wrote their BASIC interpreter, Ada Lovelace wrote and published a computer program. She, too, wrote a program for a computer that had only been described to her. But her program, unlike the Microsoft BASIC interpreter, was never run, because the computer she was targeting was never built. It didn't compile as she forgot a semi-colon on line 15, and misspelled a header filename
And there was no compiler yet

One thing that has worked for 100% of the companies I have worked with in the past is to offer various bonuses based on company performance and so on, talk about how they are usually 2% to 5% of your salary, then every year give out no bonus at all because the company isn't performing well enough, and talking to your coworkers they remember a time back in the 90s when the got about £20.

Security researchers have discovered a new exploitation technique that they say can bypass the kernel protection measures present in the Windows operating systems. As the tables turn, so does my stomach
"Furthermore, since the concept of page tables is also used by Apple and the Linux project, macOS and Linux are, in theory, also vulnerable to this technique, albeit the researchers have not verified such attacks, as of yet."
