Microsoft has you covered - I heard there's going to be a variant of Clippy that looks like a marsupial, and has a floppy disk peeking out of a pouch.

An early draft of the document calls on governments, companies and citizens to make the web accessible to all. And it requires your feedback. "More what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules."

I open my all-seeing eye.
It sees that the "contract" will end up being so full of intentionally confusing garbage and intentionally polysemantic statements that it will be completely useless.

What I want to talk about is something I see in a lot of code that drives me up the wall: identifiers that are too damn long. Right, back to single character variable names!

I agree with him, but I still prefer a long variable name over one where its meaning might be ambiguous.

The guy is right, but that comment "back to single character" is wrong.
I see from the code produced by my colleagues that it is too complicated for them to find good names.

On the C++ team we’ve heard loud and clear from users that build times are a pain point. Blink and you're linked!
Assuming your blinking is still pretty slow

Quote: Forty-six percent of executives see AI as an important initiative over the coming years.
...
This is where the opportunity is for data analytics and AI proponents -- education, training, and simply focusing on helping business leaders work outside of their comfort zones.
Talk about utopian drivel. AI will come to the pointy hairs only by way of being taught to output data in Excel format.

A decade-and-a-half from when it emerged and held the title of the most destructive computer virus of all time, MyDoom still persists. If it ain't fixed, keep using it

Quote: "The main reason for the high and consistent volume of MyDoom malware is that once infected, MyDoom will work aggressively to find other email addresses on the victim's system to send itself on to," Alex Hinchliffe, threat intelligence analyst at Unit 42 told ZDNet.

But are we talking about MyDooM I, MyDooM II, Ultimate MyDoom, Final MyDooM, MyDoom 3, or the new one?
Not that it matters.
Just give me the shogun and enough ammo, and I'll deal with it.

Earth had a close encounter Thursday morning when Asteroid 2019 OK sped by at 1:22 GMT, at a speed of nearly 55,000 miles (88,500 kilometers) per hour. "Missed me, missed me, now you've got to kiss me"
