Microsoft cemented a major legal victory today, as a federal appeals court declined to hear the government’s appeal in a landmark cloud computing case. May or may not be good news IYHO (we report, you decide)

So, the reprisals will be that there'll be no more US funding for IRA ter'r'rists, then?

A type system is sound if it ensures what it’s designers intended it to ensure. This is much like programming: a program is correct if it does what it is supposed to do. Obscure edge-case is obscure

They're academicians, so their concept of a computer is some abstraction so abstracted that it no longer has any practical value except to get government grants to replace all the illegal ivory in their tower.

That's much more sound thinking, sounded out in fewer words than those with unsound concepts in their empty vessels (which make more sound) managed to expound in many more.

The CEO and co-founder of Vivaldi, Jon von Tetzchner, called out Microsoft in a blog post today, saying that it's too hard for users to change their default browser on Windows 10. Put a stake in it?
|
|

|

Two points to take into consideration:
0: Vivaldi is actually pretty cool (although I use three other, cooler, browsers)
1. Microsoft has turned into an @rsehole academy.
OK, I'll side with the cool guys, just like I did when microsoft was cool*, and IBM wasn't.
* Dear God, how long ago was that?

Anyone who can't change the browser in Windows 10 should probably not be using a computer. Seriously, it's not hard.

"Organisms created with synthetic DNA pave way for entirely new life forms" [^]Quote: Now, the first living organisms to thrive with an expanded genetic code have been made by researchers in work that paves the way for the creation and exploitation of entirely new life forms.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

2016 was the year that DevOps became part of IT organizations’ everyday language. And by "mainstream" they mean, "stuff your manager keeps reading about"
|
|
|
|
|
And worse, stuff your manager keeps directing you to do, complete with committees, compliance departments, new and stupid security policies, dept re-orgs that break everything that was working smoothly and doesn't fix anything that wasn't working. DevOps became part of IT organizations' everyday language, like "toilet paper", "water cooler", and the PHB.

CEO: You mean, we can fire the entire testing and IT department and just let engineers declare things done and release them? I'm in!
Months later
CEO: Why isn't my computer working? Or our web site? Hey, where's my paycheck?
