Good to know Iceland has no internet.
Perhaps Chris will eat some Hákarl and be out-of-commission.

At a previous company I worked for we had 360 reviews i.e. where your peers / direct reports anonymously reviewed your progress along with your manager. This gave a 360 degree appraisal (those beneath, alongside and above you).
I remember getting critical feedback from some of my peers, but as the whole thing was anonymous, I didn't know who had said those things (although I had very strong suspicions).
This created a very bad working environment where you could annually bad mouth a co-worker, and your manager would take this into your review meeting and ask you for comment.
So glad I no longer work there. One of the worst company cultures I have ever had the misfortune to experience.

Per year? That seems a bit excessive.

Google researchers demonstrated that a neural network could be tricked into performing free computations for an attacker. That AI is going to be so miffed when it finds out.

If it really was AI, it would give the wrong answers.

Microsoft's latest Windows 10 'Redstone 5' test build adds lots of new Notepad features For those living in the stone age...
|
|
|
|
|
I am living in the stone age, really don't need any new feature in good old Notepad. Bad news.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh gee, nothing is changing for you. Notepad is not a DOS program.
|

|
|
Thanks, I know the difference between DOS and Windows

I still prefer vi for doing miracle text editing.

For some tasks is the best tool you can still find.
If they twist Notepad in Windows 10 they are not going to improve it. They are going to mess it.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Disagree.
The good news would be "Linux/Unix developers decide to adopt 54 year old ISO standard for how to code line endings".

What's wrong with notepad? It's the quickest always available tool to edit and inspect configuration files.

First, it lacks the OS functionality of emacs.
On the other hand: It does have decent editor functionality.

Other new Notepad additions with this build, according to Microsoft:

Did they add the ability to format text?

I thought maybe they had enabled AutoSave/Recover. I use Notepad windows as scratch areas when developing queries, debugging, refactoring, etc. I absolutely hate it when win10 decides to restart even when I have several unsaved notepad windows open! It's happened more than a few times now.
