Six of the SpaceX software team members who helped “develop and deploy software that flew Dragon,” aka the Crew Dragon capsule used to launch the astronauts, held a Reddit “Ask Me Anything” session on June 6. Is "ability to deal with would-be Bond villains" on the list?
Or: "Ability to deal with meddling MI-6 agents"?

Requiring human interaction thwarts automated analysis used by good guys. Hoist with their own checkbox
I really don't know why I find this so funny. Definitely speaks ill of my character.

Looking at how the spam / scam is getting "professionalized".
I think that they will find a lot of people willing to have a job bypassing the "human interaction" securities.

One release channel isn't enough. Microsoft just rearranged the Windows Insider Program, but the company missed an opportunity to help mainstream customers who are unwittingly signing up as beta testers with each new release. Is it, "stop putting the bugs in"? I'm not sure they've thought of that.

In my decades of experience, I've learned that it really does start at the top. President Brad Smith is completely detached from running the company. Upper management takes their cues from him and it trickles on down. Smith lectures employees on business practices, but not on the importance of quality. Most remarkably, he appears to not even like Microsoft's products. I remain baffled as to why he is Microsoft's president.

C++20 is coming. As of this writing, the new revision of the language isn't a thing yet, but by the time you are reading this, it may be published. We do not speak of them.

Over the weekend, Microsoft acknowledged a print spooler issue that was caused by last week's Patch Tuesday updates. It might be causing you to be unable to print, and that could even include software printers, such as printing to PDF. I wonder what this fix breaks?
KB4567512. Do you think they started counting those with negative numbers, or just that it's rolled over a few times?

Scientists hunting dark matter have stumbled across something else, with “unexpected events” recorded that could demand a rethink of modern physics. They found "something". Good, good. Who do I make the cheque out to again?

IOW, it is most likely to be contamination by Tritium, but we'll go with "axions", because that sounds much sexier.

Uber has open-sourced Piranha, their tool for automated clean up of stale code caused by feature flags that are no longer required. Use it or lose it

I think HoldMyBeer would probably be a better name for an automated code clean up tool.

My static analysis tool finds data that is never read, but deleting it may not be safe because there could be side effects where it is initialized or subsequently written. 🍺🍺🍺

indeed- refactoring code is definitely one of the best ways to break code
