Despite previously claiming the DogWalk vulnerability did not constitute a security issue, Microsoft has now released a patch to stop attackers from actively exploiting the vulnerability. And take your dog for a walk. They're a good doggo and deserve it. And a treat.

C# 11 release date is just around the corner, and we will show what's new and preview some of the features that can be used for .NET 7. Oh, thank heaven for version 7/11
Yeah, yeah. "This one goes to 11". I think I used it too recently.
And sorry for leaning on the blasphemous commercial blurb.

Security researchers found several vulnerabilities that allowed them to take remote control of internet-connected devices that control door locks. This is why I never lock my doors
"The caveat in their research is that malicious hackers would need to get into the building’s network first, in order to target the access control systems." So, to get someone inside, they just need to get someone inside. Mission accomplished!

I'll stick with a good old fashioned key based deadbolt combined with a different key based door lock.

Scientists have proposed a new theory for why certain kinds of mental effort feel so draining. Sorry, no blurb. Going for a nap.

Quote: After the tasting, the radish and cookie groups, along with a control group who didn’t eat anything, were given a difficult puzzle: they were asked to trace a geometric figure without lifting their pen from paper, or crossing over any lines twice. Unbeknownst to them, the puzzles were unsolvable, and the researchers measured how long it would take the groups to give up. The radish group gave up more quickly than the chocolate group—potentially, the scientists argued, because they had already depleted mental energy in forgoing the temptation to eat cookies.
Apparently I'm overestimating the average intelligence of the participants or the researchers underestimated it. This result is the opposite of what I'd've expected; which is that the brain-fried people would start dragging the pen around failing to trace it, while those who were still alert would just quickly examine the graph see at least 3 nodes with odd numbers of lines and realize it was futile almost immediately.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Immersive experiences, AI automation and new data platforms are among the innovations topping Gartner's 2022 Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies. It's Gartner, so you know it's 100% accurate +/- 120%, 22 times out of 20

I have heard about only a small handful of these 25, and for most of those I have heard of, they are so vague that I wouldn't be able to explain the concept to a twelve year old so that he would understand. Most of the 25 concepts are likely to die out without ever affecting me and my work at all.
Admittedly, my daily life is not very hype oriented. I find it more important to develop usable software than to subscribe to every new hype offered in the software development marketplace.

Hmm, I'm supposed to trust their blockchain when they can't count?

It seems that when you quietly ask company leaders to tell the truth about how they're going digital, they beat their chests and weep. It's when cars (and other items) turn into robots, right?
Or is it just their hands doing that?

Weird... when they speak about it publicly and / or to their employees they don't spare any crappy bullsh1t buzzword bingo their assistants have found in the internet putting it all together in the speech.

This new model will make extensions easier to write and more reliable along with additional benefits such as being able to install these extensions without restarting the IDE. Is it just me, or do they change the extensibility model more often than they update icons?
