Oh wait, that's the 20 questions a software engineer WILL ask when joining a new team.

Engineers at UC Riverside have unveiled an air-powered computer memory that can be used to control soft robots. That wasn't me 'tooting', that was the robot

The more we can reduce waste in software development, the better off everyone will be. Always put variables in the blue bin after you're done with them (after rinsing, of course)

Ummm....when I look at time wasted, it comes down pretty much to one thing: understanding the drivel that the other developer wrote, didn't comment (with useful comments) and realizing the whole stinking pile needs to be rewritten.
That's usually the case on the back-end. On the front-end, I would add, understanding why some package was used and how its being used, only to discover that it's being used for some one-off function that could have been implemented in a couple lines of JavaScript, or worse, because someone thought it was a good idea and they just multiplied the complexity of the project 100-fold completely unnecessarily. NgRx[^] comes to mind.

While we are excited for the next generation of Windows with Windows 11, we are also focused on supporting the more than 1.3 billion monthly active devices on Windows 10. The last version of the last OS?

As this Windows 10 release is targeted for the second half of 2021, Home and Pro editions of version 21H2 will receive 18 months of servicing, and Enterprise and Education editions will have 30 months of servicing. In addition, we will also launch the next version of the Windows 10 Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) based on version 21H2 at the same time, and it will have five years of servicing as announced in February.
So the upcoming LTSC will be in until sometime around October 2026; give or take what month it's actually released in.
While Windows 11 marks an exciting milestone for the future of Windows, we will continue to support Windows 10 through October 14, 2025.
Wait a minute... 
On second thought it's no more of a cluster![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) than anything else in their W11 messaging so far. 
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?

I love embedded IoT development and when a colleague asked if I’d be interested in working on cloud-enabling an Altair 8800 emulator running on Azure Sphere then I seized the opportunity. Just in case you have an old one lying around

I kind of drooled when it came out but ultimately decided it would be too much of a pain. I waited and eventually bought an Apple ][ Plus.

That was a great choice for a first machine! (I had a clone, but same difference)

Major tech companies have been under increasing scrutiny in recent years, though Microsoft has seemingly walked between the raindrops compared to competitors such as Google and Apple. "History is written by the victors"

Only because it hasn't had so much attention doesn't mean that they did less...

I think that’s where they were going: that they were in the rain with the others, but somehow didn’t get noticed (this time)

If you’ve been programming for any length of time, you’ll likely run across apps or other projects that need major work and revisions to keep going "Nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

Facebook took the wraps off of BlenderBot 2.0, which it says is the first chatbot that can build long-term memory while searching the internet for up-to-date information. Here's one AI that's *definitely* going to want to get rid of all of us

Next up is getting the scientific instruments back out of safe mode. Backups do work?
|
|
|

mmm... legitime question:
should it not be redundant instead of backup hardware?
Or does "redundant" imply simultaneity and "backup" imply replacement?

Good question. I often see them used interchangeably, but I suspect your idea is correct. Redundant would be two (or more) running at the same time (like they did on the Shuttle), and backup is the spare tire you bring up as needed.
