The irony is lost on few, as a Chinese threat actor used eight MITRE techniques to breach MITRE itself — including exploiting the Ivanti bugs that attackers have been swarming on for months. They forgot to read their own reports

You can plan, strategize, chunk, fold, spindle, and mutilate a project for countless person-hours, and you still won’t know the difficulties that lay ahead in actually writing the code. Because we suck at defining projects

I'm pretty good with my estimations and have worked with people who are also pretty good at it. The biggest problem is bosses/management don't want to hear the actual estimate.
Long before Agile and Scrum, Novell adopted the mantra that all projects take two weeks. I was in one meeting where everyone on our team was asked how long it would take to finish--mind you it was just our team--and everyone said "two weeks". I said "five months." I got laid off six weeks later. The project took exactly five months to finish (and still didn't ship for another six months after that.)

Dr. Charles Buhler, a NASA engineer and the co-founder of Exodus Propulsion Technologies, has revealed that his company’s propellantless propulsion drive, which appears to defy the known laws of physics, has produced enough thrust to counteract Earth’s gravity. He'd show it, but uh, it flew away!

Until he puts it on a rocket that launches from the planet into orbit, I'm not going to hold my breath. We do know there is an anomalous force applied to probes doing gravity slings. They tend to come out faster than expected. However, this isn't the same amount of thrust that is needed to get off the ground.

Sounds pretty cool.
There's been some big news covered (here I think) about the advances people are making in materials science especially as concerns "localized magnetism" because I can't think of what they actually called it.
You guys realize what it almost definitely means?

Often when reading about the language you'll find all sorts of "performance tips and tricks" or "do this instead because it's more efficient". The not-likely final word
