Massachusetts launched a COVID tracking app, and uh, it was automatically installed?! Clearly the lesson here is to not make silently push-installed applications visible to the user.

A beautiful example of the press using a misleading headline for reporting scientific results. There's a huge difference between "study proves ageing process is unstoppable", and the actual conclusion of "study suggests evolutionary biology trumps everything and, so far, medical advances have been unable to beat these biological constraints".

This last year makes me wonder if newspapers shouldn't be banned from reporting on science.

No, not really, but it feels like an exponential process. If you excuse my pun.

ID.me's CEO says unemployment fraud is costing taxpayers $400 billion, but his own company is denying claims because of problems with its tech, users say. "What could go wrong?" Turns out, everything.

Sound a lot like the Canadian-produced "Affordable Care Act" software crashing the first day once it actually had a bunch of users.

I had to use ID.me. It's the worse big web site/service I've used. It seems to me to be a giant con to get money out of governments (who willingly pay precisely because it's such a failure.)

Well, it just obvious that ID.me's is yet another example of a two-faced CEO

Microsoft’s “next generation” of Windows event is taking place later this week, on June 24th at 11AM ET. Thanks to a big Windows 11 leak, we already have a good idea of what to expect from Microsoft’s event. Yes, but can they tell me which programs will break after I install it?

It took the programming community a couple of decades to appreciate Python. But since the early 2010’s, it has been booming — and eventually surpassing C, C#, Java and JavaScript in popularity. Definitely not written by a recruiter.

I can't complain about because I didn't use it so much, but only because something is popular it doesn't necessarily mean that is good.

Correlating the number of posts on a web site for solving programming problems is like measuring a man's popularity with women by how many of them kick him in the nuts when he makes advances.

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?
