I moved forward - created an entire new computer - including CPU, video, music and so - as an emulator only... No burned fingers...

Hmmm,
Are you being serious or just joking? I would be super impressed if you've created an emulator. Qemu and Bochs are using a Cirrus emulated vga bios[^].
Do you have code I can look at?

Totally serious - originally I created a c64 emulator, and then moved on an turned it into a 'dream' computer...
It took me about 4 years - on/off... Now I'm at the point to cleaning it up and releasing to pulic domain...
At the end I was thinking to actually create it using FPGA...
A few more years probably...

Luckily, it can transmit that data back to Earth far faster than Hubble. And where can I order one of those SSDs?

Quote: Two high-profile stories in US newspapers this year have prompted the media to ask whether the illegal sale of human organs in the US is more common than previously thought. In the first case, a New York City resident was arrested for trying to orchestrate the sale of a human kidney to an undercover FBI agent for US$160,000. The second story was of an Israeli man who flew to New York to donate his kidney in exchange for $20,000.
Unless you have a secret life in the 1% you aren't telling us about, you will never never be able to afford it.

I did not see costs...
Quote: When the telescope was named Webb in 2002, it had a budget forecast of $1 billion to $3.5 billion for launch as early as 2010. When 2010 arrived, the launch date had moved to 2014, and estimated costs for the telescope had risen to $5.1 billion. After reviews found both the budget and the schedule to be unrealistic, in 2011, NASA reset the program with a much higher budget not to exceed $8 billion and an October 2018 launch date.

Obviously, it didn't make 2018. I don't think you, Kent, or I can afford that SSD.

Deepfakes are getting better at mimicking real people. Soon that's going to be a problem for everyone. If you outlaw deepfakes, only fakes will be deep

Uh oh, I've been found out. I guess a 20 year career as a "developer/programmer" or whatever it is people on this site do wasn't all bad. Anytime you can get companies to pay you for pretending to be something that long is living the dream. As far as I'm concerned C# is a musical note, java is coffee, rust is whats eating away at my car, and python? well thats just snake oil.

Developers need to be cautious about whom they trust on GitHub because it's easy to establish fake credibility on the platform, security vendor warns. By getting them to use GitHub?

This. And every external component that goes in production must be vetted, and it also has to be included in the software tree - no automatic updates with every build.
Then I am now working in the same field as The Codewitch so it's not as I'll ever have the issue of over-abundance of GitHub resources. I already have to bribe, cajole, coerce and beat out the vendors for their own sample codes.

If you use unfettered code, you take a risk. It's not an attack; it is abusing stupidity and they have my full support.

We surveyed more than 2,000 developers about whether GitHub Copilot helped them be more productive and improved their coding. Then, we matched this qualitative feedback and subjective perception with quantitative data around objective usage measurements and productivity.
