And tht's only counting the companies that are known of paying...
I do wonder... how many of those companies are every year in the calculations?

Platform engineering is the latest buzzword in IT operations. And like all other buzzwords, it’s in danger of becoming meaningless—in danger of meaning whatever some company with a “platform engineering” product wants to sell. Meet the new silver bullet, same as the old silver bullet

Smartwatches might be good for tracking steps and heart rates, but they can also offer hackers a wealth of personal information to exploit, according to a new Charles Darwin University (CDU) study. tldr; Yup
Today I learned that somehow a Charles Darwin University evolved (in Australia of course. It's probably venomous.)

If it is online, it will get hacked. Period

The signal, recorded in 1977, was at first suspected to be an alien transmission. It was Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with a lead pipe

Everybody remembers Colonel Mustard, but who remembers any of the other characters?
The difficult we do right away...

Mrs White, Miss Peacock, uhm, Professor Plum. Miss Scarlet.
I do forget the blue guy (Oh, wait, that was Miss Peacock? Or was she Mrs.?), and if there are any others...

"Oh, wait, that was Miss Peacock? Or was she Mrs.?"
After and before the events in question, respectively.
It's never explicitly mentioned that he was a Mr. Peacock but we can make a case thusly.
Mr Green was a bit of descriptive metaphor as nickname. Peacocks have the big green eye at the ends of their feathers.
Mr Green was known to keep an eye on things. This is likely what shortened his time and shuffled him from the mortal coil.
At the funeral, Professor Plum leaned into Miss Peacock and asked if he could say a word. She said "of course!"
So he stood up and said "plethora" and sat back down.
Miss Peacock leaned over to him and whispered, "thanks, that means a lot".

And there I was thinking it was Professor Plum in the kitchen with the badly-shielded microwave.

UK government believes its proposed "right to switch off" will bring crucial economic and productivity benefits to the country, while also improving the well-being of workers. Less work is good work?
|

Less work might not be good work,
but work during work hours and then have spare time... is a different question.
First thing I do when I say "enough for today" is to switch off my work smartphone, even before switching off my laptop

We’ve added some fantastic new features and enhancements to Visual Studio 2022 v17.11 that will help you find and resolve bugs faster and easier than ever before. Not as many references to AI as I would have expected
"Auto-decompile" sounds helpful. Rude, but helpful.

That sounds pretty implied AI for me

A website linked to National Public Data’s massive breach was storing passwords for its back-end database in a file that anyone could’ve accessed. Maybe requiring a license to program isn't such a bad idea after all
Or maybe at least leave their personal phone number in the database.

Blocking Alphabet Inc.’s Google the way sites have blocked some of its AI competitors would also hamper a site’s ability to be discovered online. "So you have chosen...death."
I'm sure regulators will be all "OK, fine and dandy" with that.

And how does it know how I like my apps arranged?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Oh boy! Can't wait to be told how I like my apps arranged.

Start working on the feature at the beginning of the day. If you don't finish by the end of the day, delete it all and start over the next day. When in doubt, rewrite
