I still have fond memories of assembler and Simula on a PDP-10. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

I feel I missed out by not getting to use these ancient (sorry!) systems. My computing evolution was from home computers to PCs (ZX81 -> BBC Micro -> BBC Master -> Atari ST -> PC) and I never got to touch big corporate minicomputer stuff like Vax, PDP before it, or similar.
The nearest I got to that sort of stuff (albeit a later generation) was a Sequent multiprocessor machine that ran the Cosy text conferencing system at an ISP I worked for (although even there I didn't sysadmin the Sequent, just used and occasionally administered the Cosy system).

Now the term anti-VAX takes an entire new meaning

Trials of a four-day week in Iceland were an "overwhelming success" and led to many workers moving to shorter hours, researchers have said. "Everybody's working for the weekend"

Forget snark; I'd rather worth four, ten hour days than five, eight hour days. What are eight hour days anyway? Sounds like bad sci-fi.
|
|
|
|

I could certainly see that working for a lot of people, especially if it helps you avoid a nasty commute from the 8-hour folk.

The Audacity Privacy notice was updated on July 2 to include new data collection provisions. The new owners break down the two main types of data they collect including data for analytics and for legal enforcement. Sounds a little odd

The YouTube channel SomeOrdinaryGamers covered this and is pretty good. He gives some common sense advice.
Just FYI (NSFW) Is Audacity Spying On You...?[^]

It's just a mix up.

We live in a world where progress is king - complete tasks, meet goals, commit more, deploy frequently, ship faster. But what happens when something is lurking in the codebase that’s holding you back? aka code you wrote two weeks ago
|

C# 10 doesn’t have an official release date yet, although it will probably be released in November along with the .NET 6. Assuming you like new stuff, of course
!!
Looks like a bunch of new ways to write less code.

They can't even get the battery charging right. These fools can go elephant themselves.
Ask James May how much he loves his! 
Spoiler:
Leaving the thing plugged in does not prevent the Lead Acid battery from going flat. When it's flat, your door handles won't extend and you can't get in. You have to dismantle the car to get to the battery to recharge it to get back inside the car, to use the (completely full) main battery.
Elephanting idiots.. Monorail, monorail, monorail!

I woulda thought they'd a learnt from their earlier crash when the sun blinded the cameras and the passenger died crashing into a truck. But stupid is as stupid does.

Is Rust the answer?

Could be, rust never sleeps.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

A few days ago, GitHub released a new tool for developers called CoPilot. The AI are coming to copy your code
(or rather other people's code into yours)

If you have a vast Lego collection of bricks in a bucket, you could probably do with some inspiration and help sorting out the pile. I can make little people, and a wall!
