I agree. Bollocks. Love the OP's comment, though (about Reality). I use that all the time with my science-denier friends.

With this release, Intel wants to make it easy to update your drivers between the OEM-provided drivers and its generic ones, without losing the custom features the OEM driver provides. Because two bleeding-edges are better than one?
I barely ever want to install the OEM ones for fear my machine is going to go south.

Just wow. This definitely takes the brass pair award.

In this article, I will walk through how to call some simple C/C++ and Rust code from C# in a WebAssembly app. Why create a solution in one language, when you can use them all?
OK, the intent isn't likely to use them all. One demo is better than four. I guess.

W in T actual F?! It's like a dog walking on its hind legs. It's not elegant or useful, and it's a miracle that it can be done at all.

There are two phrases which came to my mind when this weird idea popped into my head. “Duck Typing” and “Rubber Ducking”. That’s two more duck based terms than many industries have, excluding perhaps zoos and veterinary practices. Really. What the duck?

He forgot the silent duck, which so befits management that commits to unrealistic schedules.

I remember two different "ducks" in my adult life
When I was in boot camp, our DI told us we were eating Duck. Cool I thought, the mess hall was making something nice. This was not so; as what was meant was, "We duck in, we eat, we duck out".
In software development, I suppose patches could be Programming Duck; in that we open a project, slap in or a fix a line of code, and recompile successfully in a few minutes.
The second reference was in the customer service industry. I do not recall the context but it went with the saying, "Why be a duck when you can soar like an eagle".
In software development, I guess this would analogous to doing the Programming Duck as a bandage to fix a symptom, and "soaring like an eagle" would be to go in and fix the underlying issue.

What makes a good design principle? One aspect that everyone seems to agree on is that a design principle shouldn’t be an obvious truism. "I don't believe in princerple, But, oh, I du in interest."

April 2020 marks 55 years since Intel co-founder Gordon Moore published 'Cramming more components onto integrated circuits', the paper that subsequently became known as the origin for his eponymous law. And I didn't get twice the gift density for it this year
Sorry, too tired to come up with a better one. I think it's time for my early-afternoon pre-late-afternoon nap.

We try to follow experts' cybersecurity and privacy recommendations but quite often many of us do so halfway or we give up. Lazy wins

Ah, struth. I've been without so long, all I have left is lazy.

But if not one, it *must* be the other! 
Everything is a dichotomy, after all. (I can't believe I spelled that kerrectly, on the first try!)

Thats a bold statement for something "unidentified".
I agree that your Chilli almost adheres the definition

Agile often puts processes over people, and it’s pushing women engineers into non-technical roles. Time to move on? Get in line

Agile is hardly alone in this. In some organizations, process is a religion, and it needn't be Agile.

Great article. I certainly agree that when it comes to engineering software the most important thing is what is between your legs.

UK spies will need to use artificial intelligence (AI) to counter a range of threats, an intelligence report says. I'd add an attemptedly-amusing blurb, but I think the Beeb already did
