It'll be a crazy day when body parts come in different models. I can just see the kids of the future 300 years from now at Christmas... "But mom, so and so got the UltraGrip 3000 cybernetic hand and this one is only a 2000."

As Microsoft pushes more and more platforms, databases, and tools to its public cloud, the roles in enterprise IT could change quickly. Someone's going to get rained on. Guess who?

For years, the prospect of an online world that extends beyond computers, phones, and tablets and into wearables, thermostats, and other devices has generated plenty of excitement and activity. But now, some of the brightest tech minds are expressing some doubts about the potential impact on everything from security and privacy to human dignity and social inequality. Because we're so good at securing Things

I just don't see the point. What I have works fine.

A talk from Bob Beck from OpenBSD about why they forked OpenSSL.
Slide deck[^] and video of the presentation.[^]. Slide 7 is epically cringeworthy and hasn't been stressed anywhere I've seen, the OpenSSL malloc is an Exploit Mitigation Technique Countermeasure never actually releases anything, has a major attack vulnerability, and does it's WTFs in a way that defeats static analysis tools like Coverity and Valgrind from realizing that anyeverything is fubarred.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

Today, .NET framework has a messy dependency graph because every time something new comes along (for e.g. Task) that needs to be "core" it has to be pushed to into a lower assembly. "Now, go do that voodoo, that you do, so well"
Read the implementation post (dated the 19th) as well. I went back and forth about which one to post, but this one explains the rationale better.

Well, Microsoft just got pushed outside my circle then. Amazon is my favorite site / company on the web.
Of course, that doesn't mean I'll stop using Microsoft Windows or developing in C# or not reading the MSDN magazine or ...
But I don't use MS-Office, okay? I use OpenOffice. I'm strong, okay? Okay? Microsoft can't push me around. Probably. Mostly. Unless they reall want to.

In just one day over several cups of coffee in a tiny office in Imperial's Blackett Physics Laboratory, three physicists worked out a relatively simple way to physically prove a theory first devised by scientists Breit and Wheeler in 1934. "It's a kind of magic, one shaft of light that shows the way"

I guess when your thought box includes binary black hole pairs orbiting each other at speeds over 50% C then yes - that is "relatively" simple.

"It's no light matter to have lit the path to that which matters," he said lightly.
"It matters not what you can do for your light, but what your light can do for you," JFK paraphrased.
"1000 points of light," President Bush (the first) said matter-of-factly.

The article annoyed me. They kept quoting scientists who say they've proven the theory, but they have actually proven anything. Rather, they've proposed a hypothesis and an experiment to prove the hypothesis. Turns out the initial experiments have all failed!

"Every game is composed of two parts, an outer game and an inner game. The outer game is played against an external opponent to overcome external obstacles, and to reach an external goal... [The inner game] takes place in the mind of the player, and it is played against such obstacles as lapses in concentration, nervousness, self-doubt, and self-condemnation." Go with the flow
