as far as it does not explote... 
M.D.V. 
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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Remember: There’s a reason we gave the %localappdata%\lxss\ folder ‘hidden’ & ‘system’ attributes
Remember, we hosed up Linux with file metadata (e.g. permissions, owner, timestamps, etc.) stored in its extended attributes by putting that stuff in an obscure, hidden, system folder and we can't/won't fix it now.

Earlier this week, a post written by programmer and teacher Bill Sourour went viral. It's called "Code I’m Still Ashamed Of." I was once asked, {sob} to write a system in ... Access {cry, cry, sob}
Actually I did - and actually still like - Access. I just blanked on real horror stories. I've been so sheltered.

Oracle plans to add Dyn’s DNS solution to its bigger cloud computing platform, which already sells/provides a variety of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) products and competes against companies like Amazon’s AWS. Because they wanted people to stop hacking on Java?

Microsoft says it's doubling down on quantum computing after nabbing four top scientists who will work with a Microsoft hardware veteran to turn research into reality. Coming soon: Visual Studio Quantum Edition

Only ms could make quantum computing so slow that we'd yearn for the days of the 386.

Did they get Scott Bakula? Is this a quantum leap for them?

Every time you write code or introduce third-party services, you are introducing the possibility of failure into your system. Would someone tell that to my boss?
I still do get paid though, right?
|

What a brilliant intro; only those who don't work never fail, so yes; everywhere where someone works, we are introducing the possibility of failure.
And yes, it pays to not have dependencies, so the "not invented here" idea will not go away quickly.

If you can't read my code, try converting it here[^]

But when you introduce a new system, you introduce new variables, new failure points, and new problems.
But at least then it's my own cozy warm corner of hell, rather than the one my predecessor left me with, which is after all why I'm introducing a new system. 
However, I am, unconvinced - I think it's fundamental human nature, beginning with the act of procreation, which definitely qualifies for introducing new variables, failure points and problems!

The focus of this version was to stabilize current features while adding the most wanted ones that were missing. Good news for all you UWP developers
Try not to all rush the downloads at once.

Why do programmers sometimes feel like they are doing the same thing every day, day in and day out, for years on end? It's actually my fault. Sorry about that.

What you need to do is make programming exciting again.
Amen. And when I experience the rut of work (I refrained from verb-ing it, as that would result in "and when I'm rutting at work...") I come up with crazy ideas and write articles for Code Project!

In other words, what we think might be the effects of mysterious forces such as dark energy and dark matter in the Universe, could actually be the influence of alien intelligence - or maybe even aliens themselves. "Pass the dutchie on the left hand side"

...and back to the sentient laws of physics. To be fair Celts and Native Americans postulated that some time ago - and their imaginary was much more colorful. Reboots these days...
