It looks like Microsoft could finally bring Chromium-powered Edge, the revamped browser with dark mode and a set of exciting features to Linux. Because there aren't any web browsers for Linux?

... and they either come with Chrome pre-installed, or already have a tool to download Chrome.
I'm really not seeing the point of this.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Because Linux needs yet another skin over Chromium!

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have built a neural network they claim can solve the three-body problem much faster than a conventional computer, giving astronomers a leg up in understanding phenomena such as the behavior of star clusters as they collapse or the formation of black hole systems. OK, smarty-pants, do four now
I guess they'll have to rename that Liu Cixin book now (it's pretty good, IMO)

Microsoft rewrote a low-level Windows component in Rust. Calls the experience "generally positive." And people think the existing Windows codebase is rusty

Do I need a new sig now?

I am certain MS will digest Rust, and, soon, come up with a rebranded initiative named "Fungus."

That's too wide a divergence in the name, I suggest verdigris.

Quote: verdigris (n.)c. 1300, vertegrez, from Old French verte grez (13c.), verte de Grece (late 12c.), literally "green of Greece," from obsolete French verd, from Latin viridis (see verdure). The reason for it being called that is not known. In other languages, "green of Spain" (German grünspan, Danish spanskgrönt, Dutch spaansch-groen), from Medieval Latin viride Hispanum. Current spelling in English is from 1789. In chemistry, confined to a basic copper acetate; popularly applied to the green encrustation on copper or brass exposed to the air. [^]

Yup. You get 1 fake internet point for guessing which part of that I was thinking of.

Somewhere along the Agile transformation companies hit roadblocks, start cutting corners, and they start just going through the motions. What they end up with is a fake Agile approach. They say they are going Agile, but they are not. I'm agile - I never plan ahea

Microsoft has hinted that cross-platform development framework React Native is a key solution to the problem of writing applications that span both Windows and mobile. If only they had an in-house solution for cross platform
Maybe that dot-something or other, or Tamarind (or something like that).

My reactions, in order...
- Sad, because I am a .NET lover
- Curious, show me your favourite cross platform tooling Microsoft, I want to learn it too!
- Are fracking kidding me? JavaScript? Really?
