There’s something thrilling about reviving old code, bringing it back to life so it can see the light of another era. "Sometimes dead is better."

Microsoft's new Windows 11 has a ton of security-based features baked into it like Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0), Virtualization-based Security (VBS), and more, which - much to the annoyance of certain users - have lead to some strict system requirements. So kind of them to make hackers lives easier

 Talk about going down a rabbit hole.
"When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others; same thing when you are stupid."
Ignorant - An individual without knowledge, but is willing to learn.
Stupid - An individual without knowledge and is incapable of learning.
Idiot - An individual without knowledge and allows social media to do the thinking for them.

MIT Technology Review (5 free articles a month): [^] Quote: Sometime in mid-2019, a police contractor in the Chinese city of Kuitun tapped a college student from the University of Washington on the shoulder as she walked through a crowd.
The student, Vera Zhou, didn’t notice at first because she was listening to music through her earbuds.
When she turned around and saw the black uniform, the blood drained from her face. The police officer took her to a nearby People’s Convenience Police Station—one of more than 7,700 such surveillance hubs that now dot the region.
On a monitor, she saw her face surrounded by a yellow square. On other screens she saw pedestrians, their faces surrounded by green squares. Beside the video still of her face, her personal data appeared in a black text box. It said that she was Hui, a member of a Chinese Muslim group that makes up around 1 million of the population of 15 million Muslims in Northwest China. The alarm had gone off because she had walked beyond the parameters of the policing grid of her neighborhood confinement. As a former detainee in a re-education camp, she was not officially permitted to travel to other areas of town without explicit permission. The yellow square around her face on the screen indicated that she had once again been deemed a “pre-criminal” by the digital enclosure system that held Muslims in place. She ended up jailed for months with other Muslim women, all deemed guilty of cyber “pre-crimes” such as having WhatsApp on their phone.
In the fall of 2019, Vera returned to Seattle. Just a few months later, across town, Amazon—the world’s wealthiest technology company—received a shipment of 1,500 heat-mapping camera systems from the Chinese surveillance company Dahua, the very same company that provides the “smart camp” systems that Vera Zhou experienced in Xinjiang.
If a company I worked for used a surveillance camera at facility entrances to scan for unusual fever only (screen for Covid, face-recog for valid employee status), I could accept that, but, how could I know what else that system was being used for ?
Cue sound of cold shudders.

Philip K. Dick's Minority Report come to life!
This is one of the reasons I would never visit the PRC these days. It's bad enough for the locals, but being trapped the way this student was is beyond horrible.
Amazon's building may be covered by security cameras, but the difference is that the company rent-a-cops can do no worse than throw me out of the building; they cannot lock me up for months on end.
I would be much more worried if I heard that the Seattle Police Department had ordered the cameras.

What I mean by developer experience is the sum total of how developers interface with their tools, end-to-end, day-in and day-out. ': q!' ought to be enough for everyone?
Not sure where the vi theme came from today. Probably the WSL story.

Sad but true... I can't install some software at work, because none of the 3 life cycle manager was willing to "mentor" our department.

Google decided to create a space where the best projects related to Google technologies can be highlighted in one place—introducing the Dev Library, a curated archive of projects and articles built specifically using Google technologies. If only there was a search engine to help you find those code samples

They should give it a calculator mode, and allow you to flip the app 180 degrees. 58008!
That would give it a resurgence!

Don't fix what ain't broke.
For the avoidance of doubt: No I am not against change! But I am against change for change's sake. There seems to be no benefit, need or usefulness to elephant around with the absolute, basic simplicity of Notepad.

Eventually I learned that I wasn't the best programmer and that I will never be the best programmer. I also learned how to be nice. Always say 'please' at the end of your SELECT statements
And never DROP tables, just put them down nicely
