A pretty good article, though I was going to hoot derisively at its suggestion to schedule pair programming sessions. But wow, this is probably one of those rare instances where it actually makes sense--as long as both parties can hold their farts.

It sure is, because it involves sacrifice no matter how it turns out!

What? I thought the process was:
1) Be given computer
2) Be introduced
3) Spend 30-60 days trying to figure out why you were hired.

At the large company where I worked for many years, one innovative manager had a desktop application developed circa 1990. Its moniker was BOSS: Buns On SeatS. Managers used it to register new hires and internal transfers. It provided a checklist, along with procedures, for getting a cube and workstation, scheduling orientation and technical courses, and so on. It also recorded the date and time of arrival, and who would meet the employee at the entrance and take them to get badged. The application was a resounding success because there were stories of people showing up on their first day with no one knowing which department had hired them and, once that got sorted, of having to work in the cafeteria until a cube and workstation could be arranged.

Sometimes Windows updates just don’t work, and a Microsoft-recommended “sfc /scannow” or DISM command won’t help. So what’s a prudent Windows user to do? Isn't it always?

In a new study out Monday, scientists say they can now record people’s brain activity wirelessly throughout the day—a feat that could allow for better research into the brain’s inner workings. Y'all have been doing that with my brain via the newsletter for a while
Or at least what (almost) passes for my brain these days.

Google just tries to identify you. That's they're right, by the laws that we make.
I wonder what the brain looks like during FaceBook sessions.

Give it a little time. There weren't laws against offline stalking until fairly recently. Online stalking just has to catch up.

Aw, they will, for the individual. Not for "tech", because that provides jobs.

The idea of this post is quite simple. I want to visualize templates and, in particular, the process of template instantiation. Then again...

The diagram at the top is the worst tease I've ever seen! If the article covered all that, it should be a great read. But it stops after a few simple examples. I hope that sequels covering the other topics are in the works.

With the “first steps “ in the title, I’m hoping so. I’ll keep an eye out.

C# 9 gives you a better way to create value objects and some simpler code to use while doing it. But even if you don't care about value objects, the new keyword has some cool changes. Don't we all value simpler code?
