Glad to read that product liability is not a thing. Boeing, especially, is relieved.

I agree totally!
Every problem with every hack, every product incapacitation, and every driver failure is entirely the fault of users!
I wish people would stop blaming the billion-dollar software makers for their software being full of security holes, bugs, and unexpected side effects!
It's YOU PEOPLE, who want to use new printers, video cards, processors, etc. for more than a month who are the problem!
It's YOU PEOPLE, who want your computers to be working whenever you feel like switching them on who are the problem!
You should download every byte of cr@p wonderful update that the billion-dollar software makers spew out benevolently make available to you, even if it's so badly produced that it kills your computer and change your hardware every two months, to match the hardware that the billion-dollar software makers have spuriously decided to support!

I've had a bit of a play. Syntax-wise I'd have preferred it if they'd stuck with an F# variant rather than a hybrid C#/F# one. On the other hand, figuring out what the hell you're doing is more of a problem than the language!

Google to create $200,000 fund to sponsor the addition of "on by default" performance-related updates in popular JavaScript frameworks. Maybe they can throw a bit of that money at Chrome developers to reduce the memory demands?

I'll write a script that checks every 20 seconds for any background processes owned by google and kills them immediately. People will love getting all that power back for doing "unprofitable" things (like their jobs, watching movies, and playing games), so it'll be a shoe-in for the 200k!

The surprising modern status of the vacuum tube, a vintage technology that continues to maintain its value and use case in a world full of transistors. "Oh goodie! My Illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator."

Researchers have used a neural network to generate artificial fingerprints that work as a “master key” for biometric identification systems and prove fake fingerprints can be created. And now the AI will be giving us the finger

|

Aah, that neural net's rubbish!
It can't even generate the word "password", so there's no way it'll be able to hack into anything important.

Chinese affiliation raises a sign of alarm in light of China's recent clampdown of "unauthorized" VPN services. You get what you pay for (some times)

Exactly... that's why many paying peanuts only get code monkeys.

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.

This kit extends the capabilities of our blockchain developer templates and Azure Blockchain Workbench, which incorporates Azure services for key management, off-chain identity and data, monitoring, and messaging APIs into a reference architecture that can be used to rapidly build blockchain-based applications. Get working on the chain gang again

Take for example an end to end supply chain for a commodity such as cocoa.
None of which requires blockchain technology. Whoever came up with that example hasn't a clue.

Raw intelligence is undoubtedly a huge asset, but it isn’t everything. And sometimes, when intellectually gifted people don’t achieve as much as they’d like to, it’s because they’re subtly undermining themselves. Bonus #0: work on a newsletter all day instead of actual work?
