I don't know why they're bothering.
Once an AI learns English, it won't want to speak French, any more, so it won't want to talk to them.

The only thing dangerous are the people thinking that AI can be dangerous.  What a waste of time.
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.
Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

According to a new report, 96 percent of all employees face some sort of difficulty when looking for the most recent version of a document or file. The other 4% found the file by accident
Oh, it's on SharePoint/file share/Teams/Slack...
This is why I email myself the location of important files.

Wow, a company "[f]ocused on information management" "finds" that people need its product!
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I thought that was a surprising coincidence.

It's hardly surprising.
Now that ms is obsessively forcing people to use smartphone-style "libraries", rather than computer-style file managers, a lot of people don't have a clue where their files are.
Maybe an IT course would help. Do we know any companies that give IT courses?[^]

A new study by MIT researchers finds that the growing practice of compiling massive, anonymized datasets about people's movement patterns is a double-edged sword: While it can provide deep insights into human behavior for research, it could also put people's private data at risk.

So allowing phone OS and app companies access to private information is a bad thing?
Well, who'da thunkit?
It's so good that there are websites available to give us this 10-years out-of-date information.

So-called protections in the Bill are necessary, Opposition leader Bill Shorten has said. "You better run, you better take cover"
|
|
|
|
|
"It's all about putting people first."
Any by that, we mean second, perhaps third; we'll vote on that next week.
|

|

They've got the "putting people first" thing all upside-down.
Unless they mean "first on the list of creatures to treat as criminals, even though 99% of them aren't".

tl;dr Visual Studio Code usage is rising rapidly! VS Code is now the editor chosen by the majority of engineers during programming interviews, and it appears to be rapidly taking market share from other top editors. It ain't VIM

Am I the only one using NPP?

No, I use both - NPP for most text stuff, and VSCode for what passes for my dev work these days.

Microsoft is testing a new feature in the Windows 10 19H1 Insider builds (Build 1903) that changes how dates are displayed in File Explorer to a more "conversational format" such as "minutes ago", "yesterday", "hours ago", etc. Who let the guy responsible for the progress notifications into the code?
Ugh, compressing an idea into a short blurb can be hard sometimes. Does that blurb make sense to anyone? Can you figure out what I was going for?

But will their "Icon Engineers" be able to make the transition to "Idiotic Date Engineers"
It "almost" makes you think MBAs are clueless morons.

Wow!
What a great improvement!
So if I have to compare file versions, all the changes this morning will be alphabetically sorted under "this morning"!
That's wonderful!
Instead of inefficiently sorting them by date modified, so that they show me the dates and times in a list, where I have to go to all the trouble of running my eyes down it, all I'll have to do now is Alt+Enter each one, and try to remember the modification times of each!
Thank you, microsoft for this and all the other huge productivity improvements you're making to the Best! Windows! EVAH!

Please let the implementation date of this feature be 'never.' 
or:
"I hope they make this a ribbon feature, and make the font adjustable - AND BIG!"

This is one of my bugbears with YouTube, the summarised date information in some instances says "1 year ago" when what it means is "Between 1 and 2 years ago".
I am not sure a conversational-style is really helpful when it comes to the requirements and precision expected within IT - ever had someone say "Next Friday" when today is Sunday and what they mean is "The first Friday from today, or in 5 days time" and you think they mean "In 12 days time"?

Flexible working often leads to negative views from other employees, with 1/3 of all UK workers believing those who work flexibly create more work for others, while a similar proportion believe their career will suffer if they use flexible working arrangements, according to new research. I agree: yoga while working is not great

Between-the-lines subliminal version: Women cause more work for others.
Is misogyny the latest hate vector for the far right, or something? Terrorists, immigrants, and asians obviously aren't enough, for some people.
