I've seen no difference in Windows, but my Android phone is definitely slower after several updates the last two months.

It's probably because of the new, built-in bitcoin miner.
Actually, I say that as a joke, but it honestly wouldn't surprise me if it were true.

Imagine we’ve been handed a task and we’re free to choose the programming language. Don't be a {foo} programmer, be a good programmer

What nonsense. If you don't use a language, you haven't learned it. This obsession with knowing lots of computer languages seems to be a form of a hoarding disorder.

0. Ignore it, and hope it will go away.
1. Get grumpy about it, and refuse to do anything at all.
2. Randomly close things, freeze windows, and switch between programs, in the hope of confusing the naughties.
3. Stick your fingers in your ears.

Are you describing the way Microsoft takes care of the users reports about their updates?

Now that you mention it, it's sorta multifunctional.
They must use object-oriented processes.

Yes, "accidentally".

A classic game helps to solve a big problem with AI as the technology makes more decisions about our lives. Did it ask for an explanation why they picked Frogger?
I never could get into that game.

Me neither.
And I have to say that I relish few things less than a blow-by-blow of why the "player" went left-forward-right-etc.
Maybe it's not the epitome of drudgery and boredom, but it must be in the top ten.

Every company on the market is looking for the best talent. Companies are waiting when “the talent” will appear from nowhere as if there were some secret talent factory. The ideal candidate will have all necessary technical skills, will be a good “culture fit” and will perform well with little or no supervision. "Great men are forged in fire. It is the privilege of lesser men to light the flame."

With developers, you never know who'll be absolutely perfect for the job -- and, like the guy says, looking at a CV won't really tell you a lot.
Which is why I absolutely refuse to allow HR departments to "vet" applicants -- If I can't be sure until I've spent some time (possibly months) with the candidates (and sometimes not even then), you can bet your @rse that HR has absolutely no bleeding clue at all.
Look for and find the strengths in the people you've got, and build on that, before looking for "superstars", who are usually more trouble than they're worth.
Good article. Very good. Force-feed it to anyone involved in hiring.

Microsoft refused to patch issue so security researcher released exploit code online. People who like people don't let them use IE anymore
But, "they wouldn't fix it, so I exploited it" seems more than a little "blackmaily"

I'd say that it qualifies as industrial espionage -- not to mention that it is specifically aimed at causing injury to the public at large.
I'm getting really sick of these "researcher" types, arrogantly and/or thoughtlessly causing more harm than (or, at the very least, "tooling up") the hackers.
They should be arrested and tried for their crimes. Precedent needs to be set.

Microsoft has confirmed to TechCrunch that a certain “limited” number of people who use web email services managed by Microsoft — which cover services like @msn.com and @hotmail.com — had their accounts compromised. "Gentlemen do not read each other's mail."

Technically, "limited" means "not infinite".
I feel they need to be a tad more specific.

Unfortunately, I'm on the front lines of this initiative, and it ain't all roses and honey. For instance, we couldn't use a commercial cloud service because none of them support a high enough level of security. This means the AF has to setup its own "cloud". What do you imagine you get when you have people that don't know what they're doing or why they're doing it setting this kind of thing up?
You get chaos and connectivity issues. That's what you get.
And instead of stopping a patentedly bad idea in its tracks, everyone says, "Well, all we can do is go along, and wait for it to fail", all because some general somewhere has a massive erection for "the cloud" because some sales nazi sold him a bill of goods on some technology that is NOT fit for DoD consumption.
Yes. I'm bitter and annoyed.

Sounds very similar to when I was working on the video surveillance system for the MX Missile Train. Chaos, connectivity issues, etc. And pretty much everyone directly under gov't contract told us civilian contractors "we're working on it until Congress kills it."
