 That was my alternate, but I didn't think the kids would get it  (of course, they probably didn't get the flip over part either)

Microsoft has been revamping Windows to make it more attractive to developers. There was a point when it wasn't?

Bullsh1t... devs usually don't give a crap about icons.

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

Well, before WSL2, it was really nothing to write home about.

Or, how the guy who heads Visual Studio pronounces it:
DEV-e-lepors, DEV-e-lepors, DEV-e-lepors!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

The authors assert that by measuring developer productivity using a multidimensional framework, SPACE, we can more accurately measure productivity and make better decisions, and capture insight into the many layers of organizational, team and developer productivity. Give your developers SPACE
I hear it's the final frontier

My last manager didn't believe in measuring, but maximizing. He'd bring us coffee at our desks.
Of course he measured; in stuff achieved.

Microsoft has pulled the Windows 10 10 KB5000802 and KB5000808 cumulative updates afters users began reporting Blue Screen of Death crashes when printing to network printers. I guess no one can send them a complaint letter then

The research claimed to have found evidence of an elusive subatomic particle Microsoft suggested could help the development of more powerful computers. I guess they opened the box?

NEVER open the box! The quantum leaks out! Similar to smoke escaping from electric circuits, but more 'quantum-ish'.

Every day, more than 5,000 private keys, database connection strings, certificates, and passwords are leaked to GitHub repositories, putting applications at risk. "Listen, do you want to know a secret?"

Most of the articles I post here involves code techniques that I wrote for my job. I'm very careful to remove the job-specific code/data before I post it.

China wants a long-term presence on the Moon in the 2030s. As long as they're careful with their nuclear waste, they should be safe?

The disaster only happened because it was Friday the 13th of September in the last year of the Millennium (1999). That particular combination will not re-occur until Friday the 13th of September, 5999, so they should be safe for almost 4,000 years.

That's a tv series well worth bringing back to life.
Battlestar Galactica managed it very well, so I imagine Space 1999 should be able to.

Well they would need to update it to Space 2019, so they could avoid the plague year.

A few features seem ripped straight from Android, like the circular icon background for everything and a media player in the quick settings.
Pressing the "Everything button" (Chrome OS's Caps Lock replacement) + V will bring up the new clipboard, which will save your last five copied icons.You can right-click on a word to bring up "Quick Answers," which will list a definition, translation, or unit conversion powered by the Google Assistant.
Ok, so it's not our QA. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not...
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?

The onus is increasingly falling on developers, who have a greater reliance on emerging technologies, a study by Checkmarx finds. "I've giv'n her all she's got captain, an' I canna give her no more."

"Speed" here refers to time to market. I hoped so, because the effective use of computing resources (CPU, memory, disk space) is rarely emphasized these days.
