Two patches pulled altogether; another is known to cause crashes but should be used anyway. At least this time, it's not "Blame Canada", but "Blame Japan"
It's a new era.
Wait, is this the third era they talked about in that other news item?

The "third era of IT" article?
If that's the one you mean, it's missing a "sh", somewhere.
But you do have to wonder what kind of uber-spaghetti code it is that causes a change to a calendar that's only used in one country to result in crashes. I mean, who outside of Japan even loads the Japanese calendar?
The other one, though, I have to admit that I like it -- anything that stops me receiving e-mail for a while is very welcome.

Hopefully Visual Studio 2017 will be next to actually be fixed.

don't hold your breath, they're already releasing 'news' of vs2019... just as with vs2013 and vs2015 vs2017 will soon be abandoned incomplete.
Rapid release cycle: eventually bugs will be superseded away (new bugs notwithstanding).
It's also why UWP (or whatever they will call it tomorrow) is loosing, both the platform and it's tools (and yes, even it's name too) for it keep changing: how's anyone meant to code stable [beyond simpleton] apps for that?

Digital transformation has reached a 'tipping point', report claims. Is that the 'pupa' stage, or 'anaphase'?

Jeeze, just give 'em Excel, and let 'em get on with it. That's all they really want.

I think IT has a whole has reached a tipping point. I know lots of people who are either tipping a few too many, or some that would like to receive tips (myself included) from the users I serve.

From the article, with hidden text shown: The system alerted a Google AI, which went through its database of advertisers' products to find something that might be useful, even though it was eight times more expensive than the most effective remedy, then texted Spencer’s doctor, who approved its proposed course of action and agreed his cut of the profits.
No room for abuse there, is there?

A top tech exec thinks we need to slow down the internet a bit. That way, no one can catch up

The way I read it, what he really means is that we have to get rid of facebook and twitter. I just wonder if he himself realises that that is actually what he really means.

Scam calls are rising from about 3.7 percent of all calls just last year to nearly 30 percent of calls in 2018. By 2019, the number will be closer to 46 percent. But really - you HAVE won a cruise!

This will have a huge effect on my lifestyle.

I've experienced an increase of scam calls, but also a massive decrease in non-scam calls.
|
|
|
|
|
I can handle scammers but spammers
|
|

I'm honestly not sure the last time I had an incoming call that wasn't spam or a wrong number. (Maybe when I bought a car???) Or an out going one that wasn't a work related conference call.
And with ubiquitous caller ID on mobile phones these days, I'm surprised enough people are picking up on unknown callers to make it worthwhile. Some people have positions where they can't let voice mail screen incoming calls for them; but surely those people are a small minority these days.

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?

A new study suggests employees nationwide are most concerned about their salary, underscoring a trend we’ve seen developing for some time. And bears

Perfectly on point. I always tell people who are afraid of spiders to divert that timorous energy in the direction of lions, because spiders won't rip 'em to shreds and eat 'em.
If you're going to be afraid of something, make sure it's worth being afraid of -- because if it ain't, you're a wuss, and the hideously phrased and ungrammatical "salary, job loss" ain't a lion or a bear.

Yes, but I don't encounter lions or bears in my living room.

Maybe, but I rarely let my bosses in to my living room, either.
They usually run straight up the stairs (which is why I'm glad I installed a fire escape for the bedroom).

I dared my bosses to pay me so much that I'm priced out of the market and can't get a job anywhere else. So far they have backed down from that challenge. They think I'm only about the money which couldn't be further from the truth. I'm all about the amount of money.
