Sophisticated hackers and crooks are developing more tools to target Linux-based systems used by government and big business. With great popularity comes great attack volume
Or something like that

I am curious about... what are going to be the answers of the "Linux has no virus / no malware" guys.

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?

We’d like an easy way to judge open-source programs. It can be done. But easily? That’s another matter. When it comes to open source, you can’t rely on star power. 10/10 Would blurb about again

Nvidia Corp. is nearing a deal to acquire SoftBank Group Corp.’s chipmaker Arm Ltd., according to people familiar with the matter, an acquisition that would extend its reach into mobile devices. "Aux armes, citoyens"

Makes nVidia bigger than Intel, and with Apple's recent announcement that they're switching to ARM chips in their computers, it injects a bunch of cash into their bank account.

Only true if you had an alternative to avoid the second deception. But the vast majority of users pissed off or fvcked up by Microsoft have no real alternative because they have no idea about computers and can't use (Linux) or afford them (Apple).

I was really tempted to use that version, but I figured I’d be nice for a change.

In software, we spend a lot of time working in the analytic "thinking space", a place where we are taking things apart and trying to figure out how they work. Once upon a time, there were three little data reports...
And according to my manager, none of them are "just right"

That's what code comments are for, which no one reads.

I would read them except they are pretty much verboten where I work - the one advantage, amid all the disadvantages, being that you have to develop some fairly good Sherlock Holmes debugging skills.

Even worse, before you can debug it, you have to figure out what it's even trying to do!

I know, most of my work is spent reading code and essentially solving puzzles.

The announcement signals a shift back to the community after the development of enterprise products. Because nothing says, "Pro" like a bunch of services loosely bolted together
And nothing says "Pro" like:
"For example, a Pro can create an Applet that in the evening queries both their Google Calendar and Slack before deciding to turn on their Philips Hue lights and play their favorite Spotify playlist."

Starting with Windows Insiders preview build 20211, WSL 2 will be offering a new feature: wsl --mount. It's the Year of (opening) Linux (files)

I thought the security update was only breaking WSL2...

Apple Inc. has developed masks that the company is beginning to distribute to corporate and retail employees to limit the spread of Covid-19. Because you've been masking it wrong

They cost $100. Straps are another $50 each.

It took another Vice President and seven team members to create a T-Shirt to commemorate the mask!🤣

In this blog post, let’s look at another very interesting feature of C# 9.0 that is called target-typed new expressions. More on the new new, for those that don't knew (sorry, wanted it to rhyme)

Quote: When reading the code, you need to look at the types of the properties AddFriendCommand and Friends to know what the two new expressions in the code snippet above are actually creating. But that’s only true if you do not read the code in a tool like Visual Studio, but in a simple text editor or on a blog like this one. If you look at the code in Visual Studio, you can hover any target-typed new expression with your mouse to see which constructor it calls. In the screenshot below I hovered the second new expression in Visual Studio and you can see in the tooltip that it actually creates an ObservableCollection<friend>.
Huber is a good writer.
Type inference on the left (var) now joins inference on the right (new(#####)): I feel dyslexic !

I'll give this article credit for actually showing a case where this isn't just a case of moving the type name from right to left but actually allows you to omit the type when you couldn't before.
myObject.Friend = new Friend("Bob");
myObject.Friend = new("Bob");
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?
