To be fair VS Code does get frequent updates that are usually more than just cosmetic.

An amateur astronomer in Texas captured a rare sight earlier this week when an apparent meteor slammed into Jupiter’s thick upper atmosphere. "Where's the kaboom? There was supposed to be an earth-shattering kaboom!"

I find it highly worrying that it coincided with North Korean missile tests!

If they have missile technology that can hit Jupiter within a couple of hours of launch, we may as well give up now.

1st question - what is my ex-wife doing up by Jupiter?
2nd Question - How did she even get into space inthe first place? She wasn't exactly weightless down here...

Just because... I wanted to know how far away this was from the Big Red Spot, I ended up appreciating how big Jupiter really is.
Using good ole MS Paint:
1. The planet is approximately 420 pixels wide
2. The impact is approximately 250 pixels from the edge of the spot.
Using Wikipedia, I learned the radius of Jupiter is ~ 71,000km
I use my actual brain to calculate the diameter to be ~ 142,000 km head
I punched into MS Calc (25/42) * 142000 to guesstimate the impact was about 135,000 km away; or 85,000 miles away

To reduce exposure to phishing email scams, organizations are relying more on collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams and Slack for corporate communication. Because the hackers would never consider using chat, would they?
|
|
|
|
|
How is it supposed to "reduce exposure" to the scams?
All it could possibly do is reduce the number of genuine e-mails, so, as a percentage, it would increase exposure!

MongoDB had better get their act together, or they'll lose the top spot.
[edit] Am I alone in pronouncing it "SQL Lite"? I feel like I'm losing nerd points for it.

Does anyone have a detailed writeup of how this works?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

In Visual Studio 2019 version 16.3, the CSProj project system (C#/VB non-SDK style) introduces a new way of loading called Partial Load Mode (PLM). Does this mean that 'Visual Studio is busy' dialog is going away?

Yes - it's being replaced with the "Waiting for a background operation to complete" dialog.

Recent research from University of Florida shows that those who fall victim to phishing attacks are not necessarily idiots or fools or anything else you want to sling to remind the world you are more clever than they. "One, you lock the target. Two, you bait the line."
'A University of Florida study finds that people in a good mood were easier to trick. Alfred Ng, CNET: "Being in a bad mood can have its benefits. Like keeping you safe from hackers."'
Well, I feel safer now. grumble, grumble.

Some people will only believe it if it's a professional, pubished study...

I agree, and it's a point that had to be made (hence the upvote), but that doesn't make it any less "Duh!"

Microsoft recently reversed a decision not to patch a flaw in its Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client after realizing the same flaw could be used to target its Hyper-V virtualization software in Windows 10 and Azure. It's only a bug if it get the attention of a VP?
Especially an Azure VP?
