Academics: Only 82 of the 629 commercial cyber-security reports (13%) published in the last decade discuss a threat to civil society, with the rest focusing on cybercrime, nation-state hackers, economic espionage. No one likes an ugly hack

ZDNet is perpetuating the grossly overblown allegation that the Russians interfered in the US last election in any significant way? Well, there's another source that I'll know to fade in the future.

The tradition of running the legendary game Doom on various gadgets and appliances that were not originally designed for gaming is long, but this one takes the cake. But how did the test turn out?
Should we be buying cigars?

Developers using Visual Studio Codespaces will need to move to GitHub Codespaces but there's no way to migrate existing projects from one service to the other. Hey, hey. You, you. Get off of their cloud(spaces)

Can't they integrate it in the Office 365?
Or the trend is only to spy the external people, not the internal?

If you’re one of the people who are about to spend the weekend going further down the rabbit hole of ‘90s tunes that make you forget the last two decades ever happened, we’ve got just the ingredient to help you fully immerse yourself. Many llamas were kicked to bring us this information
I think I may have seen the theme for today.

When Elon Musk and SpaceX proposed building an ISP comprised of satellites in low earth orbit, it seemed like a project straight out of sci-fi. Download your data and get a tan at the same time

For years, the focus of C++ has been on performance. We are increasingly hearing calls from customers and security researchers that C++ should have stronger safety guarantees in the language. Putting the training wheels back on the bike

Microsoft today said that it will finally end support for Adobe Flash Player in its web browsers by January 2021, confirming a coordinated announcement made together with Apple, Adobe, Facebook, Google, and Mozilla in July 2017. Apparently it won't save the universe

They'd be better off killing support for Windows in their browsers.

Quote: Earlier this summer, the Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Lab in Tennessee set about crunching data on more than 40,000 genes from 17,000 genetic samples in an effort to better understand Covid-19. Summit is the second-fastest computer in the world, but the process — which involved analyzing 2.5 billion genetic combinations — still took more than a week. [^]Quote: When Summit was done, researchers analyzed the results. It was, in the words of Dr. Daniel Jacobson, lead researcher and chief scientist for computational systems biology at Oak Ridge, a “eureka moment.” The computer had revealed a new theory about how Covid-19 impacts the body: the bradykinin hypothesis. The hypothesis provides a model that explains many aspects of Covid-19, including some of its most bizarre symptoms. It also suggests 10-plus potential treatments, many of which are already FDA approved. Jacobson’s group published their results in a paper in the journal eLife in early July.
