By the time we reach 2023, more than half of companies will have moved to a subscription-based model for their software products, a new report from Revenera claims. This newsletter will still be free, but invoiced on a quarterly basis

They should read: Heechee Saga by Frederik Pohl[^]

Thanks to the rise of hybrid workplaces and data-driven businesses, a question that is getting a lot of attention is whether tools for monitoring the workplace’s productivity are either necessary or effective. "The beatings will continue until morale improves"

Tell the bosses proposing these measures that they need to flagellate themselves for many hours a day and many months before the proposal will be considered. The employees get to specify the tools of flagellation.

If you can't trust the people you hire, you doin' it wrong
Unpaid overtime, learning new frameworks as they are released.. and you paying a "manager" more, just to "monitor" what I do?

A hamster in Germany is redefining "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" author Burton Malkiel's belief that a blindfolded monkey throwing darts at a stock ticker list in the newspaper could do just as good as a human investment professional. Is it taking clients?

GitHub Copilot, described as an "AI pair programmer," debuted this year with a splash, amazing developers with its ability to supply chunks of code when a user is typing in Visual Studio Code and even generate whole applications solely through typed commands. Then they came for the other AI and I did nothing, as I was waiting for the AI-AI cage match

Almost 90% of employees would take a pay cut to use the platform they prefer, while 62% of them will choose Apple when they can, Jamf-sponsored survey claims. PC/GEOS or GTEO!

Their survey was done with people working marketing etc., not with people working in tech.

To reduce the amount of using directives boilerplate in .NET C# project templates, namespaces are implicitly included by utilizing the global using feature introduced in C# 10. It's all fun and games until you have the third File object

Rust is often touted as a competitive language to C++, providing memory-safe functionality at compile-time, but without the use of a garbage collector as in other languages like Java or Go, thus enabling runtime determinism, low latency, and high throughput, as in C++. And does it ever sleep?

It's not even the first time this month Beijing's done so, let alone the first time ever, yet word of the reiterated crackdown sent coin prices tumbling, which may have been the ultimate goal. If you enjoy something, do it more than once

It sounds as though the four space tourists on SpaceX’s historic Inspiration4 flight last week had a bit of a smelly mishap. You know it's bad when the...stuff...hits the rocket engine

Quote: had a bit of a smelly mishap.
The solution is simple - put on the space suits, open that fancy 180 degree dome, vent everything into the vacuum of space, repressurize.
And hope that the frozen turds don't collide with something important!

It probably wouldn't get rid of the biggest turd...

Roger-That Houston.
Yep, that's exactly what I said. We've been damaged in a collision in the rearward portion of the ship.
No.. Literally, not figuratively.
Yes. That's what I said - the sh1t has hit the fan.

Inspired by the way trees like maples disperse their seeds using little more than a stiff breeze, researchers developed a range of tiny flying microchips, the smallest one hardly bigger than a grain of sand. It's not COVID, I'm just allergic to surveillance chips
More a glider than a flyer, but at that size they could probably stay in the air for a while.

The dystopian possibilities are endless.
What's the betting that this has already been done.
I wonder if one could design a device to detect this sort of thing (fruit fly and mosquito disambiguation a prerequisite, of course).
