They finished assimilating all the software, now they are looking for hardware.
Toss them a smartphone, they seem to be quite intolerant to them.

Yeah, too bad the app vendors haven't been keeping up with app compatibility with Win 10.
We've still got apps that won't work on 10, or work on 10 but only up to release 1511, or what have you. Then there's vendors who think it's still perfectly acceptable to install to a folder off the root of C: and can't handle spaces in filepaths correctly, ...
A lot of them can't even create a freakin' installer that works properly! For example, IBM has created "enterprise ready" applications, that need to be installed to thousands of machines, and created MSI installers for them that DO NOT SUPPORT SILENT UNATTENDED INSTALLS!

In ASP.NET Core 2.1, we brought SignalR into the ASP.NET Core family. Many of our users have asked what this means for the previous version of SignalR: ASP.NET SignalR. Spoiler - Not dead (yet)

Machines and automated software will be handling fully half of all workplace tasks within seven years, a new report from the World Economic Forum forecasts. We're already doing your newsletters

Quote: Machines and automated software will be handling fully half of all workplace tasks within seven years, a new report from the World Economic Forum forecasts. But the group said technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and precision medicine, could create more jobs than they threaten.
Yes, might handle half of current work but new work will be created, as in the past.
AGI might conceivably be a problem. But IMO that's a very long way off if at all.

In the nineties of the previous milennium they were already warning that half of the people would be replaced by robots in the "next five years".
They should learn some economy at Davos; people are still cheaper than machines for most tasks.

Nah, it's just that half of the "Half of all work will be by robots" articles will be written in five years.

Some merchants pay up to $2,000 for employees' secret services. A++ Would buy good review again

Amazon is mad that they aren't being paid directly.
More than once, I added a terrible review for a book to other terrible reviews. In one case, ALL the negative reviews were removed within a few weeks. In two others, Amazon tried to remove the negative reviews with bogus excuses, but there were too many (and, I'd guess that others did what I did--replace an in depth negative review that contained reasons why the book sucked with basically "This book sucks.")

The biggest bottlenecks are the brains of some project members

I really wanted not to say the absence of... the danger doesn't come from absence of intelligence, it comes from the illusion of intelligence.

"In short, the purpose of source code is to communicate the workings of a piece of software to the next programmer who comes along."
That's funny, I thought the purpose of source code was to create a computer program which solved a problem.
(To be fair, I think the guy's an idiot, pretending he's profound. "To prove my obvious point, with which nobody actually disagrees, here is a massive straw man, watch me push him over.")

There's two kinds of programmers. The first leans forward and immediately starts pounding the keys. The second leans back and thinks about how best to solve the problem.
I prefer the second.

I will agree that it is not a major bottleneck, but not that it is not a bottleneck. The faster you type the faster you can move onto the next part of the process.

C64 OS has one goal: make a Commodore 64 feel fast and useful in today’s modern world. Now I just have to figure out how to get it onto the tape drive

"useful"; always good to know immediately that a goal will fail.

Windows, Windows, Windows. Oh, and Linux had this problem too, and fixed it. So did Microsoft.

Linux's creator is stepping back from his Linux kernel work -- to work instead on his behavior toward other developers. The first step is admitting you have a problem
