Tesla’s “Smart Summon” feature, which lets cars navigate themselves in parking lots, isn’t even out of beta yet. But Tesla owners are already using it in some mind-bogglingly stupid ways, Electrek reports. "Wizard's First Rule: people are stupid"

I was going to launch my own new internet protocol called "hhttppss" but I didn't for fear of an anti-trust investigation against me. 
See! "Government Holds Back Innovation" is not an unreasonable headline!

Richard Stallman, a free software movement activist and programmer received an invitation from Microsoft which he accepted by sharing his views on a lot of things on September 4, 2019, at the Microsoft campus. Strangely, "Why can't you just die?" didn't make the list
I'm sure they'll follow all of them

A mixture of reasonable and crazy. Stallman's mellowing out in his old age. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft might build Edge for Linux because doing so could attract web developers. I'm sure they'll all jump at the opportunity
Especially the ones that spell 'Microsoft Windows' with a $ or 'doze'

Meanwhile we want them to help remove Edge browser from Windows

Quote: how users would expect to install Edge on Linux devices, such as through a native package manager or an installer.
If you heard a distant loud slapping noise a few days ago, it was the entire Edge team facepalming after one of their more clueless PMs insisted on including that question.

The Windows 10 WinRT API Pack allows your WPF or Winforms application to quickly and easily access Windows functionality like Geolocation, Windows AI, Machine Learning, Bluetooth and much more. There's a "Road and Track" version of Windows?
(That's an attempted car joke - my brain hasn't woken up yet. If it ever has.)

Microsoft really wants Windows 10 users to have a cloud account, so the offline-account option is harder to find. You want to log into "your" computer? Silly user.

To help with the complexity of the aspects we need to evaluate, we are increasing our investments in machine learning (ML) technologies. Machine learning helps us detect potential issues more quickly and helps us decide the best time to update each PC once a new version of Windows is available. That explains so much

When discussing C with C++ programmers I often notice a somewhat outdated view of C, usually a familiarity with a C dialect that lies somewhere between C89 and C99, because that’s essentially the “subset of C that’s supported by C++”. Your grandpa's C ain't your grandpa's C
"Also to be clear, the ‘Modern C’ I’m talking about here is not modern at all, but already two decades old."
