A couple years back I gave a talk on researching software history, using “linked list interview questions” as an example topic. *answer
Or a possible answer, anyway.

Maybe because it is the only thing they know the answer for?

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?

Microsoft is adding a dedicated OEMDRIVERS folder to Windows 10 that will be used to store third-party drivers. Probably best not to delete that one

Ugh. You are probably very right here.

I pray I'm wrong... But history doesn't make me confident in that prayer.

One thing that I have always been hoping for as a XAML developer is deeper connectivity between the XAML and the View-Model. Why write the code when you can click things to get it written?

The release of Project Reunion 0.5 is the starting point for your ability to build and ship Windows apps at a much faster pace without waiting for the Windows OS to update with new features. "Come together, right now, over me"
Seemed like just a few weeks back they had the preview. I'm glad they had the chance to fix any bugs people found.

|
I suspect they are now recruiting the mugs testers new users to find the bugs for them...

Better rules need to be urgently drafted to keep control of the AI systems that are already making decisions about our jobs, says the TUC. And by "not everyone", they mean, "no one outside of management"

In the latest software supply chain attack, the official PHP Git repository was hacked and the code base tampered with. "Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singin' Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my backdoor"

Tools research is still light-years ahead of what’s being deployed. It is not unusual at all to read a 20 year-old paper with a tool empirically shown to make programmers 4x faster at a task, and for the underlying idea to still be locked in academia.

I used to work at a grocery store in my younger years and never took a break, let alone a lunch break. Either they need to stop whining or maybe I need to go sue my previous employer.

As Project Reunion - Microsoft's latest scheme to tempt developers back to Windows - lumbers closer to the finish line, the company has admitted it made a whoopsie in the deprecation of the Pivot control. Lesson learned - wait until it's been out for a few years before cancelling
You need to make sure people are using it in critical software.

Windows enthusiast and reverse engineer Albacore has been looking at the innards of Windows 95 and has discovered a hereto unknown Easter Egg in the IE4 Internet Mail app. Please forgive me if I don't try this on out
All my CDs of Win95 are probably coasters at the moment

The best easter egg was the Excel 2000 racing game. Oil slick.

The space agency announced this week that new telescope observations have ruled out any chance of Apophis smacking Earth in 2068. NASA says we're going to die in 101 years!
This is the part of the movie where the hero(es) let down their guard for an inevitable attack. Best to hit Apophis while it's not looking at us.
And notice they didn't mention comets! PANIC!!!!
