Note that I was actually agreeing with you, it is already time that companies start to get REAL responsibility on their products, start-ups as well as big companies...
As I said in other message a couple of days... everyone is "human" and can have errors, there really are things that can today look secure / safe and then in a time there was something problematic or you base your product in something else and then that is what has the bug... that's something I would say "sh*t happens".
But if the error is obvious and comes due to incompetence, sloppy implementation or similars... they should get such a fine that they would never think again on shipping anything without testing, Q&A and pre-release validation, namely in % of the revenues and not in absolute value this way it would hurt the same, no matter the size of the company.

Microsoft released Project Reunion 0.5 Preview, a set of developer components and tools that unifies access to existing Win32 and UWP APIs under a single API layer, decoupled from the operating system. The absolutely, positively, perfectly complete, final API for Windows UI (until the next one)
And just like other reunions, it's a bunch of stuff that used to know how to communicate, now just forced into one area together.

Quote: Today I am thrilled to introduce our second Enhance feature: Super Resolution. The term “Super Resolution” refers to the process of improving the quality of a photo by boosting its apparent resolution. Enlarging a photo often produces blurry details, but Super Resolution has an ace up its sleeve — an advanced machine learning model trained on millions of photos. Backed by this vast training set, Super Resolution can intelligently enlarge photos while maintaining clean edges and preserving important details.

Is there any new software/algorithm that has not been trained with machine learning on a galactic size sample set ?
Could be worse: they could have named it "turbo resolution."

We’ve made many great improvements to C++ IntelliSense over the course of the Visual Studio 2019 release. Maybe this will get them off of vi?
Or to upgrade from VS 2013?

They will need to pry vi(m) from my cold, dead hands.
But in their defense, there is always VsVim[^]

Latest Flexera survey finds slow adoption of cloud cost management strategies. In an era of multi-cloud, these means a lot to keep track. And much of the rest is tracked and wasted.
I know, I know - efficiencies and happiness all around. Cloud is the way to joy, or something.

Quote: Latest Flexera survey finds slow adoption of cloud cost management strategies. In an era of multi-cloud, these means a lot to keep track.
Up to one-third of cloud computing spending is not tracked and wasted
Which means... 2/3 of the whole is still being tracked and wasted. And that is still a damned huge lot.

No worry... they are probably sorry and have promised not to do it again...
Seriously... everyone can have errors, but if something like this comes due to idiocy (and it looks like so), companies should held accountant / face real consequences

Ottens was a talented and influential engineer at Philips, where he also helped develop consumer compact discs. Did they try turning him over to play the other side? (RIP)

Do you have something to play them (that still works)?
