They had a fairly hefty legacy codebase and didn’t want to overtax the folks working on it. “We know our codebase has X lines of code, so how many developers comprise an ideally staffed team?” Two gills? A rod and a half? A (metric) mina?

This article is intended to educate you on the options for converting your app’s installation into a Windows app package. You mean I can't just recompile it?

Microsoft PowerShell is becoming a haven for malicious code, with a 95.4 per cent rise in malware instances, according to Symantec. If you lock them out of using BAT files, what do you expect them to do?

The Inquirer: MICROSOFT POWERSHELL is becoming a haven for malicious code, with a 95.4 per cent rise in malware instances, according to Symantec
Within the first sentence the title of this article is proven to be click-bait by recasting a trending rise into a total instance.
Further reading shows that the author likely doesn't know what Powershell is or what it does.
I'm a bit disappointed: what business did this drek have in my morning news?
Still nothing but love, Kent.

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?

IT managers in UK organizations believe their senior leaders are intentionally holding back the adoption of new technologies, as they fear that could endanger their position within the company. Those still running Visual Studio 2003 already know this

...or they worry that new technologies introduce unnecessary complexity, may be untested, may be ephemeral trends that will fade away leaving them with unloved legacy, or, maybe, provide no real improvement to profitability or any return on the investment needed to upgrade?
(or is that just me being cynical about consultants who love to push the bleeding edge?)

Researchers have developed a way to use commercial inkjet printers and readily available ink to print hidden images that are only visible when illuminated with appropriately polarized waves in the terahertz region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Oh, I have my TeraHertz frequency polarized light right here, let me look

I believe my bedroom lamp is within the terahertz range. And I always have my RayBans at hand.

I think they hid a few images in that CAPTCHA to open it - I was starting to worry that I was a bot there for a bit.
