I've had the misfortune to work under so-called managers who should have been assigned to clean toilets as their primary job.

Certain aspects of my job resemble that activity.

Side A of the coin:
physician Irene Sand: "The expert who concentrates on a limited field is useful, but if he loses sight of the interdependence of things he becomes a man who knows more and more about less and less, until he knows everything about nothing."
Side B of the coin:
physician Irene Sand: "Of course we do not prefer the other extreme, the superficial person who every day knows less and less about more and more, until he knows nothing about everything."
Can't we get back at the healthy common sense?

C# 11 is nearing completion. This post covers features that are new in 17.3 or were not covered in our April update on Visual Studio 17.2 and our February update on Visual Studio 17.1. Can I get past the "This one goes to 11" yet?

Meh. I sometimes had entire days that were unsullied by work of any kind.

Everything has its downside...
A co-worker of mine has been long in remote due to health condition and he said something like:
"At least before, when I already had an appointment the next one was at least 15, mostly 30 minutes after the end of the previous one, because the people didn't know if you had to walk from one point to another. Since I am in Home Office the suckers now set the online meetings with one minute break or two if I am lucky... I can't even go pee in that time."

.NET MAUI, which evolves Xamarin.Forms by adding desktop app support, has arrived in .NET 6 and Visual Studio 2022, but what's coming up? Maybe head over to Kauai next?
I hear it's where the Hawaiians go to avoid the tourists.

Attackers guessed the password of a dormant account and were able to apply their own MFA to it - providing access to the victim's network. Because multi-factor will save us from the hackers...
Yet another reminder to nuke those dormant accounts
Apologies for picking this story about it; that headline is horrid. I felt like it was lifted from BuzzFeed or something.

The "sneaky exploit" is to know the username and password?

The Irish Council of Civil Liberties’ senior fellow, Johnny Ryan, has launched a US class action lawsuit against Oracle over claims that the tech giant is unduly tracking and monitoring people. The other three billion are feeling a little left out
"Oracle’s dossiers about people include names, home addresses, emails, purchases online and in the real world, physical movements in the real world, income, interests and political views, and a detailed account of online activity."

They're not called Oracle for nothing...

NASA has released two more images made from data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope, and they reveal incredible detail about the largest planet in the Solar System. "Keep your eye on Jupiter, such beauty in the sky"

Oh No! It's the evil anti-Matter Jupiter!

Microsoft's AI code-suggestion tool GitHub Copilot is showing itself to be so capable that educators may have to rethink how they teach computer science. Now, explain the code for your grade

I hope so, because it would reduce the number of "Do my assignment for me" posts in Quick Answers.
EDIT: I'm so naive. They'd only be replaced by "Explain this code for me" posts.

I've noticed some tricky scenario where everyone is right, yet people still argue. Because someone is wrong on the internet!

James Brown loves building weird displays. Like animatronic skulls, or mechanical bit-flipping cellular automatons. Or, in this case, an entire computer inside a mock Lego brick. You really don't want to step on these in the dark

The cuts affect about 60 employees of Accenture, a firm that oversees teams of Facebook moderators and other contractors. The algorithm is known as "One-potato, two-potato..."
