Wouldn't it be the Express Edition, then?

Sharing news articles with friends and followers on social media can prompt people to think they know more about the articles’ topics than they actually do I am confident this is a news item
And as everyone that knows me, knows I'm the most confident person in every room (OK, that's a joke for like 3 people that might see this)

They only know it through the journalist's eyes, which have to be faded in light of Michael Crichton's observation:
Quote: “Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”
Also true of many articles about economics.

Ah, thank you so much. I've been trying to remember the name of that effect for months now (off and on).

Uncle Bob argues that you should focus on hiring good programmers who are able to think beyond just one language. Don't hire a {foo} developer, hire a developer (that can learn {foo})

Interviewer: May I ask about your name ...
Candidate: Sure, "Slate" is not an uncommon last name.
Interviewer: Yes, but, "Blank" is ... not that common a first name.
Candidate: I thought it was appropriate in this context.
Interviewer: And ... this context ... is ?
Candidate: Well, the letter I got from you said: "code agnostic critical thinking skills," so, I thought the name was kind of a good fit.
Interviewer: I think your creativity shows great promise, and, I'm going to move you forward to interview with the team lead, Ms. Tabula Rasa.
Candidate: Wonderful, I'm so down with Hindus, 'bro.
Interviewer: Ms. Rasa is from Pakistan.
Candidate: Wonderful, I'm so down with Muslims, 'bro.

The grainy image of a “super-Jupiter” is a sign of what’s to come as the telescope’s exoplanet observations ramp up. If you look really closely, you won't see Bob waving

Get off that e-bike and get typing! Dance, monkey, dance!
(For the throttle, there might be a cut-off button? I know I have one on mine that disables the throttle. No idea why though.)

Quanta magazine article: a world seven times heavier than Jupiter that orbits a star nearly 400 light-years away.

You're doing pretty well, for someone who is at least 800 years old...

Ransomware groups want to make as much money as possible - that means they're going after more varied targets. They did want to replace Windows
I was going to go with "Jeux sans fronteires", but perhaps that's too obtuse?

In draft proposals published this week, European regulators are planning to force phone manufacturers to supply at least 15 different parts to professional repairers for five years after a device first goes on sale. Consumers will also get guaranteed access to replacement batteries, displays, chargers, back covers, and even SIM / memory card trays for five years. My flip-phone says thank you

A game designer has sparked controversy after submitting an image created by an AI text-to-image generator to a state art competition and taking home first prize. Then they came for the artists and I did nothing as I needed something for my wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
It's a pretty neat picture (IMO)

|

Quote: One user said, “We’re watching the death of artistry unfold right before our eyes,” while another bemoaned that artwork was now “slop produced as cheaply and quickly as possible to be consumed in bursts of a few microseconds as it glides by on the infinite feed.”
LOL. How anthrocentric. I also think it's pretty good. If AI can do this, another AI should be able to generate an endless supply of those joke submissions that get accepted by woke journals. The goal should be for an entire issue to contain nothing but such articles.

Do they even come with desktops anymore?

Do our missile launch systems still use 8" floppy's?
Hmmm[^]
Quote: The US Air Force is currently looking at a replacement for SACCS, not least because it takes a long time to train newer engineers on how to use the older tech.
Oh dear. I wonder if they ever did. Maybe they switched to 3.5" disks? 
[edit]
I should have read the article more carefully:
Quote: Apparently, the switch happened back in June [2019], according to Lt. Col. Jason Rossi, commander of the Air Force’s 595th Strategic Communications Squadron.

They switched when the lobbyist for the 8" disk manufacturers finally died of extreme old age.

WORM devices have the advantage that they are write-once, which means that they are useful for recording evidence - any tampering is immediately evident. This, I assume, is one of the reasons why they have not switched before this.
