Linux users are more knowledgeable regarding computer maintenance than Windows users, right? Maybe. If only they had some sort of service that updated their machines when it was least convenient

Last year, back in March, Microsoft announced that all of its events until July 2021 would be held digitally, and that allowed the company to change things up a bit. It ended up splitting its Ignite 2020 conference into two, and the second part of the event is coming up soon. Hopefully it fits in your travel budget

Be careful about what you’re oversharing online, because it makes it easier for (unethical) hackers to target you. Him, not me. I wouldn't hack you even if you sent me your account numbers and mother's maiden name

LinkedIn, the professional social network Microsoft purchased back in 2016 is reportedly getting ready to enter the market of freelancer platforms currently dominated by Upwork and Fiverr. You mean people use it for something other than finding out when your friends are looking for work?
Any of course by recruiters.

A new survey from AppDynamics reveals that the COVID-19 pandemic continues to put growing pressure on those responsible for digital transformation projects. The other 11% are managers?
OK, mean I know - they feel pressure too - probably more than individual contributors. It's just they get to shovel it downwards more readily.

Employees; working under a manager who's responsible for targets. I ain't even doing overtime. Not my problem if the sales-people overpromise.
What pressure?

New tech reports reveal the top-paying .NET skills and most in-demand programming languages in the Microsoft-centric developer landscape. I'm a little shocked it wasn't NetCOBOL
Although the actual answer is about as frightening for some.

Quote: the No. 1 in-demand programming language for 2021 in that landscape is Visual Basic, not C#
Not sure where they are getting that from. When I look on job boards it's all C#, very little VB.
Not that it matters much, but still.

I can only assume this was an attempt to create the worst of all possible language rankings. 
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?

Are you really making useful comments in the codebase? Let’s find out. # This is a comment about a comment on comments

some of my favorites:
// declare variables
// loop over array
// implementation of method
Yes, I can read the code to see *what* you are doing, I want to know *why*, but only if it's not obvious.
grrrrrrrr...

My favorite comments were a long series before a block of code, each with a name and date and each essentially saying "This code sucks so bad that it's impossible to change without breaking it." I arrogantly gave it a try and then added my name and a date.
I later asked the second-to-last person on the list, the only one left at the company. She laughed and agreed the whole module needed to be thrown away and rewritten.

There is a dot pattern of some sort on the wall claddings of the outside entrance to Victoria Underground Station in Terminus Place in London.
The station was rebuilt recently (circa 2019) and this particular entrance was built then.
I've only seen the pattern from the bus as it passes by and haven't yet had a chance to investigate it closely.
Anyone know what it is/says?
It's the rectangular building at 51.49572048125416, -0.14325264729479892[^]
