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?

After translating some of math’s complicated equations, researchers have created an AI system that they hope will answer even bigger questions. And then they came for the symbolic mathematicians and I did nothing, as ... really, who'll notice those folk gone?

Windows Defender already allows users to block Potentially Unwanted Apps or Potentially Unwanted Programs but the new v2004 update will allow users to prevent the installation of unwanted apps that come bundled with genuine app installers. *not including the May 2020 Update
It installed painlessly* here, and I couldn't tell you anything that's changed.
*as painlessly as a Windows update goes, anyway.

The ISOs were first spotted by Twitter user WZorNET and you need to have an active My Visual Studio Download subscription to download these files. For those who can't wait for Windows Update to mess with their machines

At least this way you are in control of "when" does the update mess with your system, who knows... it might even have some other advantages

That’s theoretically enough speed to download the contents of more than 50 100GB Ultra HD Blu-ray discs in a single second. When can I have it installed?

Mozilla-created programming language Rust could one day help Microsoft kill a large chunk of its worst security bugs. I think the news about "Windows Iron" explains their newfound interest in Rust

Is there that why MS got Chrome instead, because it doesn't rust?

I'd rather take my chances with a straight-edge or two than hexavalent-chromium though.
That stuff gives cyanide pause for thought, it's so toxic. Chrome with the electrons taken out will seriously ruin your family tree. I'd play with a fox that had rabies after the edge but before the poison.

After May 2020 Update, the next real feature update will debut in the first half of next year and it will be codenamed Windows 10 21H1 or Iron (Fe). Fingers crossed for new icons!

Quote: Unlike the current Start menu, the new layout offers a more unified background colour in both dark and light modes and app colour does not dominate the background colour.
Making it harder to distinguish between your apps is a good thing in who's demented mind? Whoever is in charge has lost the big picture. Thank God for Start10.

In 1992, I was asked to write a history of what I actually did by the ACM for their second “History Of Programming Languages” conference. A need to stay classy?

The primary thought process is to first stop thinking in terms of linear imperative programming. If you can free your mind from that, you begin to realize that the world is very object oriented. A cell converts CO2 to O2. A leaf is composed of cells. A tree has branches with leaves and roots. Roots pull in nutrition and water from the soil. The leaves fall and decay around the tree, adding nutrition back to the soil. A tree grows, is cut down, turned into firewood or planks to build a house. Etc.etc.etc.
The point being, you look at nature and you see processes that are contained within other processes, and processes that interact with other processes, and suddenly processes become the key thing, and the data is just ancillary to what the processes "transform." In fact, the data is what triggers the process, not the other way around.
Sometimes it helps not do have a college degree.

Don't tell a meetooer that you look upon her as an "object"!

The one weakness of OOP is that the objects do not behave independently, as they do in real life. A "new Object()" really should start a new thread running asynchronously with the caller. You can of course simulate that, but traditional OOP doesn't invite to it.
With the APL "workspace" concepts, you are like in a playpen: You can throw in a function now, a data structure then (since this is APL, "data structure" is an array, from 0 to n dimensions). And you can take out a function without affecting the others (except that they won't find the removed function when they need it). If you could start a function to run asynchronously, your idea of independent objects cooperating in a world-like playpen would have been much closer to reality. At least classical APL doesn't have that option.
I never programmed Smalltalk, but I have heard claimed that they provide both a workspace and objects executing asynchronously. But then again, I haven't heard anything about Smalltalk for umpteen years, so I consider it a dead language, even more so than APL.
