Does it also give an OCD rating (based on how meticulous you are with formatting and naming.)

Because there was such massive user demand for this.
What if, instead, Microsoft fired most of its designers and used that money to hire more, qualified, QA engineers?

Yes he did. Worse, he's doubling down on the insanity. I could live with a few bugs, but the specific decisions being forced on users is repulsive. I run Windows 10 Professional, mainly for the one feature I need - some semblance of control over the update/reboot process. I can understand wanting to encourage users to update the OS with security patches, I cannot understand forcing them to update their OS for features (like new icons). Further, forcing reboots of Pro installations is simply criminal.

They keep going on and on and on about how animation and blur are the flagship features that form the backbone of their Great New UE.
Animation is a resource hog, and blur is extremely bad for the eyes and the occipital lobes, so their "Great New UE" will be laggy performance, optician bills, and brain damage.

That is rather revolting news to read. Especially the part about the OS people working with the Surface people. That means their user interface is going to get even worse than it is now. The last one I liked was W7 and it has been horrendous in every release after that.

I really dislike Microsoft's direction the last 15 years or so. Every 3 years they come out with a new half assed framework, only to ditch it and replace it with the next half assed framework.
The reasoning being that old equates to bad, and new is good. Wrong! Good is good, and bad is bad, and more often than not in the case of Microsoft new is bad.
I wish they would fix the 20+ year old bugs in GDI+, invest a bit in Win Forms so it's up to date with multi-monitor setups. They should never have released WPF and UWP.
The couple of things I do appreciate out of MS are SQL Server and ASP.NET MVC. They just work and they didn't unnecessarily over complicate the tech.

It’s a prediction you’d expect to hear from a doomsday prepper. But a scientist at the US space agency claims aliens could have actually visited Earth at some point. The truth is somewhere out there
Again, I'm guessing the important word in that title is, "could"

The absence of proof of alien life makes that extremely unlikely.

Good Lord!
Professor Silvano P. Colombano must be an absolute genius!
I mean, give him only ten years, and he might even catch up with Sci-Fi ideas from the 1950s!

He was talking about small aliens, and I remember a scene from TV where miniature aliens tried to land on earth. Looked like an invasion-fleet in close up, and then they get swallowed by a dog or something. He might have seen the same movie

That was by Douglas Adams, from Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

So NASA is taking their inspiration from the Hitch-Hiker's Guide?

Aluminium-ion batteries are a step closer to becoming a reality after a UNSW Sydney chemist found a way to make the science behind the technology work. Just posted so we can have another one of those aluminum/aluminium debates
Plus, new batteries could be good.

|
|
Dr. Kim said: We found a novel way to design rechargeable aluminium batteries by employing a redox-active macrocyclic compound as the active material
In other words, it's snot, and they discovered it because the lab assistant was picking his nose whilst preparing the experiment.

When they rupture, will they blow up any differently?

Considering how bright aluminium burns, I'd say they would blow much much better!

Following its alliance with Facebook around the Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX), Microsoft is open-sourcing the ONNX runtime engine for machine learning. Nothing clever to see here - this machine never learns
And that's ML.NET for "machine learning", not a .NET version of the ML programming language. That's SML.NET. /sigh
