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?

A majority of organizations understand the importance of modern security in cloud native deployments, but few seem to be following through on that. Everyone wants to be secure, but no one wants to do anything to get there

Security costs money. So, no, no security.

Astronomers have discovered unusual signals coming from the direction of the Milky Way's center. The radio waves fit no currently understood pattern of variable radio source and could suggest a new class of stellar object. "I hear the talking of the DJ. Can't understand just what does he say?"

A systematic review of research into the dark side of social media use has identified 46 harmful effects, ranging from physical and mental health problems to negative impacts on job and academic performance, as well as security and privacy issues. There's a non-dark side?

I think Benjamin Franklin said there are only 3 things certain in life. Death, taxes and social media trolls...
Of course he also flew a kite with a metal object attached during a lightening storm so all sayings are suspect. I can only imagine the people that walked by telling him his new umbrella didn't work.

If your role is solely focussed on activities that low code software can perform you are at risk of being caught in a pinch point. Be lower than the code?

When Copilot writes your code, will you care whether it’s good or bad? It can't be as bad as code randomly copied from the internet, can it? (Oh, wait.)

In the article it reads:
And a third time: do we care? If we have a rigorous way to express what we want a program to do, we may never need to look at the underlying C or C++.
This is where I tend to land. Generated code must be robust, and the input specifications used to generate the code must be sufficiently expressive and complete, but it's not a requirement that the generated code be manually readable or maintainable, any more than assembly language need be these days.
The input specification is what must be readable and maintainable. This is no different than using any other compiler toolchain.
However, there's an argument to be made for certain types of generated code, like parsing code, where the code must be hand modifiable in some cases, for example, when doing natural language parsing.
Code synthesis/Program synthesis can make this easier, but it's very difficult to implement.

There are a lot of new features in the release, which only fully come together near the end. Can you smell what Redmond is cooking?
