But I already have everything I need for azure development.
Nada.
Niets.
Niente.
没有.
Nothing.

Yup, that's everything I need and want for Azure as well. What a coincidence.

The botched rollout of last fall's Windows 10 feature upgrade means the upcoming release of its successor could cause trouble for users not ready to update their computers again so soon. It's Continuous Delivery of patches!

And they seem to be improperly controlled and delivered via a very slow (and yet unsteady) means.
So the best description for them is "out-of-control donkey patches".

Oh, now I have an idea for a best-selling new paradigm:
"From Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery to Continuous Failure".
That's the future.
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Future? It's happening right now!  Continuously!

A new computer program that spots when information in a quantum computer is escaping to unwanted states will give users of this promising technology the ability to check its reliability without any technical knowledge for the first time. That's what happens if you don't use a water-proof box for your cat

The article says: Taking advantage of the behaviour of quantum systems, such as existing in multiple different states at the same time, this radical form of computing is designed to process data in all of those states simultaneously, lending it a huge advantage over conventional computing.
The trouble is that no-one has yet been able to give me a good explanation of why it's an advantage.
Maybe it's true, and maybe it's not --- oh, bugger, I'm quantumming my thinking patterns, again!
But the tl;dr is that someone has brilliantly come up with a conventional program that will check every yes/no/dunno quantum state to ensure that it's correct (because half the time they're incorrect, which means that the whole thing is bollocks, but let's not go there, for now).
A corollary effect of this is that quantum "programs" will run slower than conventional programs -- but there's still no guarantee that all the bad states will be caught, so although it's slower, you can't trust its results.
It's safe to say that it needs work.
Whether or not it's worth working on is another matter. I would be nice if it were, but I have serious reservations.

that will be interesting...
if (pointer)
{
delete pointer;
pointer = NULL;
}
getting in the if with a exiting / living state of the pointer and then trying to delete the non existing / dead version of the quantum pointer...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Companies are turning to artificial intelligence to plug the gaps. Add AI to the mix and that could go to 100%
|
|
|
|

Yes, because low importance stuff like security is best left to the most ineffective "brains" on the planet.
Guys who've spent half their lives learning are best placed sweeping the floors around the AI servers.

Blast released 10 times more energy than the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 "Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades"
And meteors over populated areas.
Or really big ones.
And nukes. Almost forgot about them.

According to the APIHNA World Dictionary (the only dictionary you can trust), the definition of "a near miss" is "a hit".

Eight out of the top ten vulnerabilities exploited by cybercriminals as part of phishing, exploit kits, or remote access trojan (RAT) attacks during 2018 targeted Microsoft's software products, continuing a trend started in 2017. "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you."

Nonsense.
How, for example, can phishing be targeting "Microsoft's software products"?
I wasn't aware that ms owned e-mail and all e-mail clients/web interfaces.
ms is cr@p, these days, that's a fact, but bullfacts don't do a lot for the credibility of those who use them.

ZDNet only publishes scare stories -- and I agree that the idea of google owning users' sandboxes is pretty bloody scary.

The company today revealed Stadia, the evolution of its efforts to make digital, on-demand video games reliable and viable. "Games people play in the middle of the night"
"Stadia will be able to stream games in 4K, 60FPS." Assuming you have fiber?
