The low-code and no-code movement is part of an increasing democratization of programming -- borne of necessity -- extreme necessity. All the way up to "quality of tool from a cereal box" level

In a well-run shop, the tools stay shiny. The gummy and rusted tools I've seen in my life are usually the result of some idjit leaving them outside unused, rusting.

A team of theoretical physicists working with Microsoft today published an amazing pre-print research paper describing the universe as a self-learning system of evolutionary laws. Would someone mind hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del?

Then they ran out of mushrooms

Amazon has updated its Alexa voice assistant after it "challenged" a 10-year-old girl to touch a coin to the prongs of a half-inserted plug. The robot uprising has begun

Alexa came installed on my new laptop. It and McAfee survived less than a day.

My inner negativist says Alexa is so connected to her web history that stupid viral TikToks prompted this. I would prefer robot overlords.

At least Alexa didn't say to eat a Tide Pod... or drink bleach, like we should all do

Microsoft has confirmed a new issue impacting devices running Windows 11, version 21H2, where apps using Win32 APIs to render colors on some high dynamic range (HDR) displays may not work as expected. It's not a blue screen of death, it's periwinkle

Linux and open-source software will be hotter than ever, but the real changes will be in how they're secured. Everyone else can have the year off

Don’t you find it a little unsettling when you encounter a typo in code? Only use single character variable names?
