Microsoft is modernizing its Office icons as part of a broader focus on design for its various Office apps. Finally they're fixing my #1 problem with Office

Unbelievable. Really unbelievable that they can be proud of, and waste so much time on, such garbage.
The words "bunch", "pricks". "oF", and "useless" come to mind, but not in that order.

The "League of Useless Pricks" takes offense.
Scary part; there's another bunch doing the same thing to Visual Studio. They boasted about their new "lighter blue" design last week or the week before. It's almost as though Microsoft is being run by people who don't actually use their products.

Design is not the issue with the Office apps. Personally, I find Word to be unusable. I despise how it forces you into doing things its way because I can't stand its way. Every time I use it I am reminded why many people who deal with massive documents do not use Word. When my wife worked in a law office she told me Word was nowhere to be found there.

Out of curiosity, did your wife find any common sense there?

I still have a WordPerfect keyboard stencil somewhere with all those lovely hot-key combos. Right next to the hardcover copy of the manual for AutoCad r10 or so.

Poorly secured certificate lets hackers impersonate any website on the Internet. Sounds a little odd to me

Poorly object-orientated security certificates, if you ask me.

If there’s one archaeological find that would turn the world on its head it would be the discovery of the lost city of Atlantis. Many have looked for the remains of the mythical locale, but nobody has come close to actually finding it, and researchers claiming to have found it in the past have all ultimately been proven wrong. I'm sure they just need a 'small investment' to confirm their findings

From the article: the location was chosen based on Plato’s writings as well as other text "Other texts"?
AIRI, the only texts that actually mention Atlantis are Greek -- y'know, the Greeks who had bugger all to do with Spain until thousands of years after Atlantis disappeared.
And concrete? Concrete was invented by the Romans, who had a ready and plentiful source of the chemicals required for it. Concrete older than the Roman empire doesn't exist.
In point of fact, if it weren't for much, much older texts (like the Frisian Linda-something) which describe weather conditions consistent with a really bleeding huge volcanic incident, I'd be tempted to disregard the whole Atlantis thing -- but on the far side of Spain?
How much is the Spanish tourist board paying him?

A survey of Rust users finds difficulty and frustration with the language’s highly touted features for memory safety and correctness Maybe they just need some WD-40 between the ears?
or sleep?

In other industry news, the problems certain users have with Rust have been addresses with a workaround.
A spokesman said that the workaround involved "studying the bloody language before making a pissing mess with it".
Bloody kiddies. If they can't code during their breaks between tweets, they blame the language.

“Rust’s big claim to fame is a mix of speed and memory safety. Rust code compiles to machine-native instructions, and the syntax and idioms around memory management—lifetimes and borrowing—make it difficult for memory-unsafe code to compile at all. But users still have trouble understanding those metaphors.”
Pony is similar in this area, possibly even more difficult. But with Pony it’s data race-unsafe code that won’t compile.
But, as they say, you don't get something for nothing.

Rust also prevents data races by default. That's one of the major benefits of its ownership model.

By 2022 more IP traffic will be created on global networks than in the entire 32 year life of the internet to date. Another shocking prediction for you

And the biggest part of it will be occupied by totally useless IoT Bullsh1t.

If you get only one bean per day, and you keep them all, then BY any given day, you've got more beans than you ever had on any previous day.
But even if you take that gaffe away, the statement is cr@p. Why 2022? why not "today", "Thursday week", "next year", or any other time?
Is there some intensive, incredibly accurate research program in place, which can precicely calculate the times in the future when things will happen"
Of course not. There's a dick sitting at a word processor, who's got bugger all to say, so he just makes sh1t up.
2022 sounds cool! I'll say 2022!
Here's a real prediction of the future: Talentless, click-baiting, "Internet-author" idiots will annoy me just as much in 2022 as they do now.
