There has been some discussion on tech twitter lately on the subject of whether it is possible to be “successful” in the programming business without working long hours. Is that an 'either/or' decision?

According to a new report, Microsoft finalized the development of Windows 10 version 2004 in December 2019, but it looks like the public rollout won’t happen until the spring. They still need a bit of time to put some new bugs in though
Of course, not to be confused with Windows 2004.
And it's certainly not Windows 11 or Windows 2020!

Google's former global head of international relations claims he was pushed out of the company for trying to protect free expression and privacy in China. Maybe they thought his position was a popular software program, so they cancelled it?

If you don't respect the laws of other countries, you will never be able to persuade them to change those laws.
However, the upside is that the US might get a senator that google can't buy off.

One misstep from developers at Starbucks left exposed an API key that could be used by an attacker to access internal systems and manipulate the list of authorized users. In their defense, it was spelled, "Pinky"
|
|
|
|

To be fair, the kind of fanbois who would want to hack starbucks probably don't know how to spell API (unless they've given a slide-show presentation about them).

My first few thoughts were "well that can't be right? You would have to be on the internal network to access those, right?"

Piet is an esoteric programming language where the programs are encoded as images and resemble abstract paintings. I know a program when I see it?

If you click through to the dev's site[^], it's an interesting read about his designing/implementing it.
Mind you, the only reason I clicked through was to find if any public money had been involved, so I could bitch about it, so it spoiled my fun when I found out it was a hobby piece.

But it's Pieter Mondrian, not Piet!*[clutching at straws mode]
* I live near a small town called Drachten, and was delighted to find that the Dr8888 (Dutch/Frisian pronunciation "Drachten") museum had several Rinsema originals, because he lived there, and met up with lots of his dada peers (including Mondrian) there.
Not exactly what I was expecting in cattle country.

They have developed a Pedestrian Audio Warning System (PAWS) that seeks to alert headphone wearers of the threat posed by passing vehicles. Or... you know... you could just pay attention to your surroundings?
