Despite a number of new features brought to the table by Ubuntu 19.10, the headlining feature is this: it just feels really fast, even compared to Ubuntu 19.04. Breaking news: Optimizing code can work

WHy is Forbes posting computer articles? They're a financial magazine, and have no street cred where computer operating systems is concerned.

Because as much as they hate the fact, the pointy hairs who always looked down on us computer nerds can't escape technology.
The real question is why Kent posted the Forbes article instead of the source blog post[^] from Canonical.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing 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?

The real question why Ubuntu? Every Linux that can use GNOME (and I think it means all of them) can profit from the fixes and features...
(I would install Fedora 30 to get it, but I have no problem with my current GNOME)

Probably because Canonical has deeper pockets than 99% of the other groups doing Linux. The interesting question the article didn't answer was what the status is on backporting their work into the main GNOME repo is; since one of the items on Canonical's todo list is apparently also on the GNOME people's list with the observation (by Canonical) that "maybe we won't have to do this ourselves" they don't appear to be coordinating work tightly.

The link you provided lists 8 bugs of which 7 already merged - one open...
It seems that only 6 of the 7 merged made it into 3.34 and the seventh is in 3.35...

Microsoft has released the latest monthly update to its preview of Terminal, the Windows app for developers, with improvements to tabs. Because CMD shouldn't be enough for everyone

Was not power shell supposed to be the ultimative solution and the replacement of cmd?

Yup
In case of failure: fail, fail again.
Although, this terminal is little more than a wrapper around cmd, powershell, bash, and any other shell/console you have installed. I really don’t see much purpose for it.

So you only have a single terminal icon on your taskbar, not three?

The US government has awarded a giant $10 billion cloud contract to Microsoft, the Department of Defense has confirmed. Known as Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure (JEDI), the contract will provide the Pentagon with cloud services for basic storage and power all the way up to artificial intelligence processing, machine learning, and the ability to process mission-critical workloads. Apparently, it's The Cloud that gives a Jedi their power

I just wonder... is this JEDI going to be like Obi Wan? or like Anakim?

I would be worried too, but the Pentagon is far away from here... (I worried about local things already)

When you write C, you’re writing for the abstract machine, not the computer itself. 'Close' only works in horseshoes, hand grenades, and compilers?
