Canonical today published the first part of a tutorial series designed to help Windows 7 users migrate to Ubuntu Linux after Microsoft's decade-old OS reached end of support this month and stopped receiving security and bug fixes. Let's get the people that can't/won't upgrade from one version of Windows...to an entirely new OS. OK, Sparky Springbok
Edit: fixed title. No need to fear the wwitches!

I know what you might think: “Not me. I’m not the kind of guy to burnout! I know how to manage my stress. I know how to manage challenges. I’m in the control of my life!”. "Some men just want to watch the world burn."

Methinks he's confusing burnout with just being pissed off.

Microsoft Blazor is an open source framework for creating web apps made up of web UI components using C# and HTML. Double-brested or single?

I thought they'd killed that -- or am I just having happy dreams, again?

In a way, they did. It requires .net core.

I haven't played with MIDI for years, and my keyboards are under a metaphorical kitchen sink, somewhere.
But how to get back into it?

The company’s current enterprise messaging tools are centered around its Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet services, but The Information says the new app would “bring together the functions of several standalone apps.” To replace all the other "unified messaging apps" they've attempted in the last few years
I'm guessing they've noticed Slack or something.
Let's see, what have I missed?
Hangouts
Helpouts
Google+
Allo
Spaces
Talk (Gchat)

That they will abandon when they get a decent user base.

More than half of companies that use cloud services have suffered from a data breach, according to a new report. Having data widespread, on external servers, with uncontrolled access management leads to risk? Whatnow?

Wow.
I never thought I'd see the day when I'd see a headline like that.

I barely remember any details from the interview that lead to my current job. What I remember, besides a question about the basics of JSON, was that my current boss asked me “What share of your time do you expect to be coding?” And they're the people-ist people I know

New?
It's about a decade old, isn't it? I remember briefly looking over the numbers when it won another purse -- it made a lot of sense, but it was still only numbers, which can be deceptive (and it's still only numbers, by the look of it). I suppose that the news is that it's just got another purse, so she doesn't have to work in a chip shop, for a while.
And it's not a paradox, it's a quandary.
That's like calling a pun a joke. Or funny. Or entertaining. Or even mildly amusing.

Sounds like one of the growing number of theories that can reproduce the easy cases of large scale structure and galaxies with normal amounts of dark matter; but falls flat on its face if asked to explain the steadily growing trickle of dwarf galaxies with abnormally high or low ratios between normal and dark matter.
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?

Well.. it turns out the theory is not that new!  (it was first uttered in 1930)

But Chrome's browser rivals are pushing hard to improve online privacy. In this case, by "the web" he means, "our profits"

a Google Chrome leader said: trying to make that change too soon could actually hurt the web by driving developers to mobile apps instead
Ridiculous.
The naivete of that statement is typical of liars and psychopaths, who will say anything at all to make people do what they want.Justin Schuh said: At our scale, it's not reasonable to move too fast, because it's too destructive
Oh, I think the web will weather it just fine.
Advertisers will still advertise on the web, they just won't all be paying google tons extra, on top of the advertising costs, for ineffective "targetting", so millions of small businesses will be richer, and be able to invest in better web-sites.cnet said: We'll pay subscription fees for some things -- some newspapers and streaming video sites, for example -- but it's not clear we'll pay for everything to avoid prying advertisers
Um, paying people to not do something to you would be what's known as a protection racket.

Mind you, that's not really any worse than google's current business model.

This is just FUD.
My response to the statement is, "So what? Given its current model it needs to be broken. Badly."
"They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers! Can I get an amen?"
