A study found that Java developers backtracked every 6 minutes, meaning they reverted their code to a previous state "Oh, I believe in yesterday"
I've been debating including this one for a few weeks now (so it's not technically new). Apologies if it offends.

Because they are Java programmers.

A team of scientists from Tel-Aviv University have successfully given a robot the ability to hear sounds through the use of a dead locust’s ear. All I hear are crickets
OK, not directly related to our focus (other than the robotics angle), just sad for that locust that has to have a hearing aid now.

Sounds like the dead locust IS the hearing aid now.

These speakers can transcribe and translate meetings automatically They tell you when you're playing bad music?
I may not be able to get them.

And then send a copy of the transcription to the tech giant overlord so they can parse it and help you shop for something you didn't know you needed.

Here I was expecting that I could set up 4 or so speakers and depending on who's speaking, the sound would come out of a different speaker, to give you positional reference to each speaker.
Sadly disappointed. However I think that would be a cool, and probably useful, real "meeting room of the future" thing.

The big news is that Flutter 2, as the release is called, has been expanded to become a portable framework rather than just a mobile framework, which means it can now be used to create slick, feature-filled web-based applications. "Won't you fly high, free bird"
And they didn't break compatibility?!

Google is slowly phasing out third-party tracking cookies, and today, it’s making it clear that it won’t just replace them with something equally invasive despite the impact the change will have on Google’s lucrative advertising business. Do no evil (for a while)

As a developer you make repetitive changes to your code all the time. In many cases you don’t even realize that you are doing a repetitive task or that Visual Studio IntelliCode suggestions can help you. It looks like you're trying to edit some code, would you like us to repeat that change blindly throughout your codebase?

Perseverance is running on none other than a PowerPC 750, a single-core, 233MHz processor with just 6 million transistors that’s most famous for powering the original “Bondi blue” iMac from 1998. Can I get it in Blueberry?
Although I guess for Mars it would be either the Tangerine or Strawberry ones.

Quote: To make the system even more durable, the PowerPC 750 chip in Perseverance is a little different than the one in the old iMacs. It’s technically a RAD750 chip, a special variant that’s hardened against radiation and costs upwards of $200,000.
Yeah, I'll take one! just put it on my tab.

If it works, then don't fix it.

Can you still buy them?
P.S. PowerPC 750 chips I mean, not Perseverance rovers.

All the universe is a neural network, and all the humans merely nodes "I always thought something was fundamentally wrong with the universe"

Presumably the result of the computation[^] will be either "What do you get when you multiply six by seven?", "How many Vogons does it take to change a lightbulb?", or "How many roads must a man walk down?".

And it knows itself that it's wrong, too.
Could it be that the universe is a mentally ill AI?

Microsoft says that Windows Server 2022 will come with security improvements and will bring Secured-core to the Windows Server platform. Why new security features? Did something happen?

Does this mean I can control when it reboots?
Or, wonder of wonder, does it mean it can use all its cool new virtualisation features to do patches without the need for rebooting?
Nah... that would be too clever by half.
