Just because... I wanted to know how far away this was from the Big Red Spot, I ended up appreciating how big Jupiter really is.
Using good ole MS Paint:
1. The planet is approximately 420 pixels wide
2. The impact is approximately 250 pixels from the edge of the spot.
Using Wikipedia, I learned the radius of Jupiter is ~ 71,000km
I use my actual brain to calculate the diameter to be ~ 142,000 km head
I punched into MS Calc (25/42) * 142000 to guesstimate the impact was about 135,000 km away; or 85,000 miles away

To reduce exposure to phishing email scams, organizations are relying more on collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams and Slack for corporate communication. Because the hackers would never consider using chat, would they?
|
|
|
|
|
How is it supposed to "reduce exposure" to the scams?
All it could possibly do is reduce the number of genuine e-mails, so, as a percentage, it would increase exposure!

MongoDB had better get their act together, or they'll lose the top spot.
[edit] Am I alone in pronouncing it "SQL Lite"? I feel like I'm losing nerd points for it.

Does anyone have a detailed writeup of how this works?
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?

In Visual Studio 2019 version 16.3, the CSProj project system (C#/VB non-SDK style) introduces a new way of loading called Partial Load Mode (PLM). Does this mean that 'Visual Studio is busy' dialog is going away?

Yes - it's being replaced with the "Waiting for a background operation to complete" dialog.

Recent research from University of Florida shows that those who fall victim to phishing attacks are not necessarily idiots or fools or anything else you want to sling to remind the world you are more clever than they. "One, you lock the target. Two, you bait the line."
'A University of Florida study finds that people in a good mood were easier to trick. Alfred Ng, CNET: "Being in a bad mood can have its benefits. Like keeping you safe from hackers."'
Well, I feel safer now. grumble, grumble.

According to one study, a plurality of IT executives say their companies prefer commercial software over open source. Reality check: duh

Some people will only believe it if it's a professional, pubished study...

I agree, and it's a point that had to be made (hence the upvote), but that doesn't make it any less "Duh!"

Microsoft recently reversed a decision not to patch a flaw in its Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client after realizing the same flaw could be used to target its Hyper-V virtualization software in Windows 10 and Azure. It's only a bug if it get the attention of a VP?
Especially an Azure VP?

It’s about two years ago that I announced .NET Standard 2.0. Since then we’ve been working hard to increase the set of .NET Standard-based libraries for .NET. As opposed to .NET Framework ,.NET Core, .NET Dry, .NET Menthol, and Cherry .NET

.Net Standard doesn't support WPF (because it can't and still maintain the "runs everywhere" status). This makes it absolutely useless.

I assume the roadblock is the WPF vector rendering engine which (assumption) is super-glued onto Win internals ?

NVIDIA has released public, freely available (MIT licensed) documentation of portions of its GPU hardware interface. This is a work in progress; not all interfaces have been published. Now the malware authors just need to send a pull request
Yeah, I know. Just the specs are posted. Kudos to them, but I'm betting it does make the work easier for the "security researchers"
