IttyProToddy said: DevOps is an approach that entered the modern enterprise lexicon in recent years, but for Nicole Forsgren most managers, it's more than just an empty buzzword.
That's the only fact about DevOps that really matters.

The problem being that DevOps is whatever a company says it is. I've read it defined as anything from developers actually running operations to developers working with operations, which pretty much describes all companies.
I think the former is a disaster in waiting, but do think there is value in having someone separate from IT who maintains the actual operations, be it the server farm, build servers and so forth. This simplifies things for IT and developers.

And sadly, I think the "official" definition is the former. I'm sure it's great for the bottom line, but as you say, disaster in waiting.

The search for good cybersecurity talent is a struggle facing companies across the industry — a problem that is only likely to get worse over the next few years. Where?

It takes a coupe of weeks for the average dev to get up to speed enough to work productively on cyber security, so I don't see what all the fuss and panic is about.

At Open Source Technology Summit (OSTS) 2019, Josh Triplett, a Principal Engineer at Intel gave an insight into what Intel is contributing to bring the most loved language, Rust to full parity with C. And Python is the new Pascal, VB is the new MUMPS, and Perl is still Perl

Heh, MUMPS. I've actually got a cert for that around here somewhere.

You were certified as insane for being willing to use MUMPS? /trollface
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?

Luckily, the training was online, from home, with General Hospital playing on the other screen. I figured GH was appropriate, considering the main use of the language.

Hurrah for SOAP. People still find a use for it.

Cupertino was developing a peer-to-peer walking talkie feature for the iPhone that would allow users to text each other without having a cellular connection. That's a 10-21
Whatever happened to push to talk? It seemed all the rage back in the day.

The real reason they cancelled it is that too many fanbois complained that it would make them look cheap, and building a system into it to charge three times the price of text messages would have been too much work.

Kent, Kent, Kent. If you're going to try and sound like a southern Ohioan (like yours truly here), you need up your game with the proper vocabulary and syntax:
"If it ain't busted like it's supposed ta be, why ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) with it?"

Just because you've got a device without a manual doesn't mean you need to throw it away. There are plenty of places on the Internet that can help you find its instructions. Because I had to find one over the weekend, and this will save me time, next time.
Sadly, the WiFi on the Sony Clie 50 only seems to be good for syncing data. Thought I might have a new old tool.

It's amazing some of the manuals you can find. Sometimes they're a PDF containing a scan of a fax of some hand-scrawled notes, but if they tell you what you need to know, who cares?
My favorite is probably the Signetics 25120[^] data sheet, whose origin predates the Internet. Yes, children, there was life and tech before the Internet. Now go out and play and let grandpa take his nap.

Microsoft warns the users of Windows 10, version 1703 Enterprise and Education editions to take action since this Windows 10 version will reach end of life on October 9, 2019. "Windows 10 is the last version of Windows"
Last(ish), but 1903 is the latest last version

I think we must be on windows 50-odd by now, mustn't we?

Here’s a good reason to turn that frown upside down: Optimistic people live as much as 15% longer than pessimists, according to a new study spanning thousands of people and 3 decades. "Ah, well; who wants to live forever?"
Which must be read in the original Brian Blessed voice. (As everything should)
