Just what I was thinking. Sad. Once upon a time, Microsoft would just have bought them!
I wonder if Grammarly will/could have a future selling wholesale services, i.e. to providers who would like to provide a 'better writing' service as a value add within their product. There is still room to compete with Microsoft and Google, I think.

Australian Dr Daniel Reardon ended up in hospital after inserting magnets in his nostrils while building a necklace that warns you when you touch your face Elephanting magnets: how do they work?
I guess sometimes astrophysics *is* rocket surgery

Putting magnets inside your nose is not even near being practical for the application he describes.

Shepherding An invisible property of a progamming language and its ecosystem that drives people into solving problems in ways that are natural for the programming language itself rather than ways that are considered "better" in some sense.

I've come across some of the arguments literally in respect to C++ - it's perfectly possible to write safe code in C++, but somehow even commonly used tools frequently still have memory safety issues.

In F# you can create mutable variable but it requires a lot of ceremony and you start thinking whether you could do things some other way. So yes, I guess that makes sense.

Shepherding: An invisible property of a programming language that helps (but does not necessarily prevent) novice programmers and experienced idiots from doing bad and ugly things.
Strong typing is a good example of successful shepherding, IMO.

Microsoft has patented a cryptocurrency mining system that leverages human activities, including brain waves and body heat, when performing online tasks such as using search engines, chatbots, and reading ads. Two insidercoins* to whoever can explain this to me
*Insidercoins have no commercial value or physical nature, only bragging rights.

And the coin is called a "Neo"?

It means either:
a. They've heard that some patent troll is about to patent something equally as vague and meaningless, that he could use to sue companies that do just about anything at all that involves body movement.
b. The department hasn't got a clue what they're doing, but a higher-up made an unconscious reference to something about using body movements, so they quickly cobbled together some old nonsense about computing and body movements, just to impress that higher up.
c. All your motion are belong to us.
Personally, I'd rather it were a, but it's probably b. If it were google, it'd be c.

Visual Studio gives C++ developers a productivity boost, plus better debugging for Blazor WebAssembly offline apps. Still no help with the belly-button variety

Of course, this means that until you've completed writing line 253, lines 18-64, 93-98, 115-139, 176-183, and 221-230 will be full of squiggly lines.
