Official details about Microsoft's supposed work on making Windows 10 'modern' and more modular in nature have been scant, but a flurry of documents and insider reports over the last year have given us some idea about where the company plans to take its OS, and how those plans might relate to the fabled Andromeda. Or maybe Windows Core is like .NET Core: designed to run on Linux?

The last paragraph:Quote: This would include devices running Core OS, which may lead one to wonder what specific benefits the Windows.Core platform might provide to developers in order to tempt them away from the universality of Windows.Universal.
I am led to wonder why the article does not attempt a hypothetical answer to this question.
The article does mention the long rumored Andromeda double-screen device: I've always wanted a PDA in that form-factor.

Among the 30 million users impacted, 14 million had their names, contact details and sensitive information such as their gender, relationship status and recent location check-ins exposed. The hackers might end up out of work if Facebook keeps just releasing the data like this.

Really? You sex is now "sensitive information"? And are these people aware that marriage and divorce records are public?
Also curious if the alarmists ever heard of a big book with most everyone's phone number and address in it.

Gender in itself is a "potential identifier" due to the large percentage with that trait. Similar to this would be "age".
However; when combined with other potential identifiers these can narrow results down: How many 45 year old male secretaries named Mike does Company A employee?

I would say that those are more examples of personal information than sensitive information. Sensitive information would include medical data, criminal history and political affiliations. Sensitive information is a subset of personal information. My email address and postal address are personal but not sensitive. Sensitive information, if revealed, can lead to discrimination and / or prejudice.

Agile development often runs aground in large-scale software environments and with digital, every software environment is growing in scale.Still, Agile may be doable. But I thought it solved all problems, *and* made coffee for the team?

Now, the drive to digital
What's with this word "digital?" Have I been living in an analog world and this is some newfangled thing? I guess I should turn my search engine knob to Google and twiddle the dials to search for this "digital" thing so I can learn about it on my vacuum tube analog monitor.

I am worried about people that really think their "lie / alternative reality" is the truth. These are the really dangerous ones.

Okay, so sniffing status for mating/bonding/dominance goes back 400 million years, and programmers are mammals ... even if fully geeked ... and, perhaps, vomeronasally challenged ... that still does not explain Agile: [^]

Over the past 18 months, Microsoft has been working towards building a digital identity system using blockchain and other distributed ledger technologies. With these identities aims to enhance personal privacy, security, and control. Is that where you use the same user id and password on multiple sites?
|
|
|
|
|
Researchers at Indiana University have confirmed that stringent password policies – aside from being really annoying – actually work. OK, password changed to 83tt3rP@ssw0rd. I'm so safe now.
|
|
|
|
|
That's so safe, I'm going to use it.
|
|
|
|
|
 We should get everyone to use it. We'll all be so secure!

If I'm correctly understanding what I read there, the benefit is only in that it's an outlier, and 83tt3rP@ssw0rd is only reused less than p4$$W0rd because most sites will let users get away with reusing something shorter. If these boneheads did manage to convince the web to switch to longer PWs, 83tt3rP@ssw0rd would become equally ubiquitous due to reuse.

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?
