Do you mean in the sense that they're so determined to not write perfect code that they just let kittens walk on their keyboards, then fix the errors until it compiles?

Quote: Languages like Java and C++ are notorious for requiring lengthy code snippets. C tends to be much more concise. Languages like Python and Go are arguably somewhere in between.
This paragraph from that article is an indicator of its quality - i.e. 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

I just wanted to post exactly the same comment. I guess it's a case of those who can - do, and who can't - teach. Just wonder why would CP repost reference to this article.

Quote: But if you want to write concise code that is also readable, Python might be a better choice. Python tends to be a bit more verbose, but its indentation rules can help to keep code readable, even if it’s written without a lot of care.
And, then ... I threw up.

When we analyze the things that drive culture and look for ways we can support other organizations who are making changes of their own, we consistently find that IT has an outsized number of opportunities to positively impact employee sentiment and loyalty—both of which are critical parts of any organization’s cultural transformation. Breaking news: Microsoft study finds using Microsoft software productive!

Yes IT has a lot of opportunities, but sadly they ignore them and mostly bother more than they help

I did a little digging and while I couldn't find exact specs, they were comparing user satisfaction and system performance of W10 computers vs W7 computers and iPads. I'll ignore the iPads as less apple vs oranges as apples vs brussels sprouts  ; but my cynicism meter suspects that the w10 vs w7 PC stats mostly show 2019 vs 2014 PC performance and user satisfaction.
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 takeaway:
121% of office 365's Excel users are more likely to feel valued by their company.
Apparently, feelings are important; productivity and accuracy, not so much.

A vulnerability in millions of fully patched Android phones is being actively exploited by malware that's designed to drain the bank accounts of infected users, researchers said on Monday. My "two cans and a string" still secure
At least for hackers without sharp objects (hackers, and also snippers, clippers, and slicers)

Quote: Readers are once again reminded to be highly suspicious of Android apps available both in and outside of Google Play. People should also pay close attention to permissions requested by any app.
Yes, I agree. That's why I don't do any critical things using the smart phone.
But if they offer Apps in the store (and this is valid for all companies) they should take more responsibility for what it is published there.
I know it is not that easy and that there are users that only receive what they deserve, because they are just morons that try to be too smart.
But there biggest % of users are just John / Jane Does that only try to get through the day the best they can. They are not versed in technology but rely on it (and as the world is becoming, they have not many alternatives). So if you can't trust the official sites, then what?
I know it is a bit naive from me, but I wish big companies would start accepting a bit more responsibility and give users a bit more credit / respect users a bit more, at the end we are the ones that make them earn money (and this is valid in both forms, as customers and as product)

Be fair -- hiring people to test stuff properly before it's added to the store could cost google maybe as much as a thousandth of one of the hundreds of billions they make in profit.

Scientists have finally decoded the bizarre behaviors of brain cells — and recreated them in tiny computer chips. Oh good. There's hope for me after all.

Am I the only one seeing this a bit skeptical? I mean, I can accept this:
Quote: Neurons behave similar to electrical circuits within the body, but their behavior is less predictable — especially when it comes to parsing the relationship between their input and output electrical impulses.
...
“Until now neurons have been like black boxes, but we have managed to open the black box and peer inside,”
But the brain is not only electrical, there is a lot of chemistry too.
2 possibilities:
#1 - This is just BS and brings nothing forward
#2 - They really managed to do it. The potential danger of its misuse is frightening
