Stack Overflow's latest developer survey shows that most developers are working remotely and favor a flexible working environment where they can use their favorite technologies. And snacks.

Some developers have been telling us that they want to use sound to help them understand what’s happening in their code. Sounds like a bug to me
Now your code can compete with the cicadas (but more often than every seven years)

Does anyone else find that the Microsoft login page is hosed up?
Currently, it only allows you to use credentials from another site (MS, Facebook, or Google). There is no place to actually specify credentials.

The standard will launch in 2025 with 512 GB/s speeds. And eight times harder to find for sale
|
|
|
|

Will it be eight times faster, or eight times as fast?
The former means 9 times as fast.

...the impossible takes slightly longer.

From a pedantic point of view, consider language as sort of a close relative to mathematics, you are correct.
But the way we use the language does not necessarily follow math rules. If you ask the man in the street, say "Car A drives 30 mph. Car B drives two times faster. How fast does car B drive?" I am quite certain that less than one in a hundred will answer "90 mph".
Math arguments are not always applicable to natural language. "8 times faster" is interpreted similar to "8 times as fast".
(And I am quite sure that you were not really in doubt about the intended meaning. You just found an opportunity to point out what you consider to be somebody else's mistake. Here I'll give you another opportunity: I could care less!)

Exactly. If I had cared less, as I say I could, I wouldn't have responded.

NASA tried three times during the month of April to complete a critical fueling test of its large Space Launch System rocket. And three times, due to about half a dozen technical problems, the space agency failed. They forgot the next number?
