A pair of brain microchips could one day allow those in 'pseudocomas' to communicate whatever they want, a new breakthrough suggests. "Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind"
Still a few steps before Scalzi[^] can be considered prophetic.
"Then, came a slew of requests for his care, like "Mom head massage" and "I would like to listen to the album by Tool [a band] loud"." <- as if there is any other way to listen to them.

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?

At least it partially works. Be careful how you communicate without being affected

While the researchers have identified seven accounts associated with the hacking group — including one traced to another teenager in Brazil — they believe the teenager from England is the mastermind and is behind some of the major Lapsus$ hacks. Never trust the teenagers!

From ethical concerns, a desire for more money, and simple obnoxiousness, a handful of developers are ruining open-source for everyone. But at least everyone else can fix it, right?

Typosquatting and automatic tools are the weapons of choice. "Malicious npm packages", that's the reusable headline

In my opinion, this is the Achilles heel of open source. I don't incorporate OS into any of my projects *intentionally*. Are there not safe guards and what not to prevent random stuff from just getting pulled into your code base?

As a multi-paradigm general-purpose programming language, Kotlin provides a lot of the necessary toolkits we need to leverage FP in our day-to-day coding. Can I get this article delivered?
I admit that I posted this partly due to it being from Door Dash.

Stephen Wilhite worked on GIF, or Graphics Interchange Format, which is now used for reactions, messages, and jokes, while employed at CompuServe in the 1980s. It's pronounced "Wilhite". RIP.
Thanks for all the arguments.

Toe-MAE-Toe, Toe-MAH-Toe.
He waited way to late to make that claim.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

this is just silly. I click on these articles and it's a re-hash of the last 40 years. In all the time I have been writing code, and dealing with other peoples' code, I have never, ever seen self-documenting code. Maybe the title is just wrong?
Why do we need to generate documentation for code these days? To be honest, I thought it was the old "should I comment my code" debate.
The problem is that code documentation describes the "what" when the most important part is the "why". Help me as the developer behind you (since you left the company and got a big raise) get into your head with what you are thinking.
That's what I need to know.

Looking at a typical Windows system shows thousands of threads, with process numbers in the hundreds, even though the total CPU consumption is low, meaning most of these threads are doing nothing most of the time. This had me in stitches
