Oh my. So in addition to "Masks required" and "Proof of vaccination required", we would see buildings with "No pacemakers" signs.

It could analyze a photo of the Martian surface in just five seconds. NASA scientists need 40 minutes. Then they came for the Martian crater finders, and I did nothing because I didn't know Martian crater finder was a job people had

The SCO vs. IBM lawsuit that was once seen as an existential threat to Linux became a bad legal joke. Now the suit may finally be put to rest. Well, some of it anyway. I thought it would outlive us all

APIs have also become a fast-growing threat vector and a nexus of what research group Forrester calls “API insecurity.” Assuming you trust Forrester

Windows 11 is coming later this year, and Microsoft has confirmed that only eligible devices would get the new operating system via Windows Update. "Can", but not necessarily "should"

I have a Dejà vòu
M.D.V. 
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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Vaguely different focus than the other two "Upgrading to Win 11" articles from yesterday.
But yeah, slow news year means I'm getting repetitive in my old age.
More repetitive, I guess.

I didn't mean it like that.
I meant it more like Windows 11 being rolled out like windows 10. If you want it or not (for the ones that don't know how to disable it) and on "your own" risk (although 98% of the problems are going to come due to Microsoft's untested crap)

Pairing is how we build confidence that we’re building something actually great, not just something that makes sense to me when I’m under-caffeinated. How foolish they used to be?

I learn that people can't communicate clearly.
I also learn that for many questions, they answer "I don't know." Why does rxjs call it SwitchMap? Answer: "I don't know."
It's scary when someone uses some function and doesn't know why the developers named it that.

Security and stability are both much better on newer PCs, says Microsoft. "Because I said so"
It works for parents everywhere, so why not corporations?

Didn't MS brag about how Windows 95 or something around that era was almost bulletproof?

Then have a Windows 11 Geriatric Edition, for those of us with "ancient" systems. Use at your own risk.

I suppose that working together with some hardware vendors had nothing to do with that...
Surely nobody ever asked "what's the best way to increase the sales of our new flag ship projects?"

Way back in 2013, I started mammoth.js, a library that converts Word documents into HTML. It's not a large project - roughly 3,000 lines - nor is it particularly exciting. Never underestimate the power of a side project

Forget about carbs and macros, the mystery meat that makes arguably America’s best-loved cuisine so delicious is slowly bringing you closer to death. I died twenty years ago

Hmm. Last I recall, each cigarette took 5-20 minutes off your life. Does that mean that eating sausages is more dangerous than smoking?

Smoked sausages, now I'm really hungry, and after I consume some, a lot closer to death! It's worth it I tell ya!

And in other news each kale salad I'm prevented from throwing away untouched takes at least 3 months off my will to live.
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?

There has been a lot of consternation about Windows 11 and its support (or rather lack of support) for popular processors. Might be a good way to get away from Windows Update
