The limits around only 1 file in a project being able to have top level statements is full of enough gotchas and bad practice encouragement that will stunt the growth of newbie developers that I think moving the feature from the REPL to regular source files was a major mistake.
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?

A new feature rolling out to Windows 10 will make it easier for users to access the available driver and optional updates. Go forward by going back
Maybe they could just go back to Win7 totally?

Yes please.
Or maybe do a win 11 with the best of both? I know I know, keep dreaming

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Yeah, moon walking.
As they go back to W7, they can as well bring back classic menu in Office.

Botnet is hard to detect and with no centralized control server, harder to take down. I thought the 'S' stood for secure?
Although I guess this botnet is pretty secure...

Researchers have recently demonstrated a method of creating a 3D printed copy of a key with the design of the key obtained by listening to the sounds made when the key is slipped into a lock. Beware of burglars with a recording studio
At least they're not calling it an AI

"The natives are restless"
-side eye- Not overly crazy about this idea, personally. Also not sure why I feel that way. It could be the usual answer (I'm an idiot)

hmmpf, not sure how useful it will be. Also the article is replete with grammar mistakes. Made it hard to read.

Sorry for mistakes. I'm definitely not a native speaker.
In the article, I mention you won't use native integers often, they are intended to be used for interop and low level development.

Probably is, because it wants to replace my kitchen sink.

We’re quickly learning more about time crystals, strange phases of matter that appear to break time-translation symmetry – something that was thought impossible until recently Did they keep on ticking, ticking, ticking, into the future?
I mean - they're real and not just some physics theorist's acid dream?
Or a plot point from a Marvel movie?

"Elitist" is just a smear term used by those who think that everyone deserves a trophy. The article sadly confirmed this rush to judgment.
When Wired first started to publish, I subscribed (hard copy). Sic transit gloria. Another one, for you UK folks, is The Economist. In the mid 90s, I told an American colleague that "The Economist is to Time as Time is to People." It's now nothing but a mouthpiece for establishment thinking, received wisdom, and similar claptrap.

Programmers gets worries not because they think that user creating small DBs will render them unemployed. They gets worries, because they know that after this small user creation outgrows original limitations of "no-code" tools or original creator moves on, it will end up on the programmer laps with unreasonable expectations - "if John Dow w/o any background did that much for virtually no time, you surely can do just a bit extra without much effort also...". And since everyone and their uncle seems to be able to do it, they surely do try. At our company the surveys found out that there are over 4,000 MS Access databases, that original owner is not available to support and now IT is responsible for.
