Canonical has announced the release of Ubuntu 21.10 Impish Indri with plenty of big changes namely the Linux 5.13 kernel and GNOME 40. It's The Year of Lemurs!
I figure I post when there's a new Windows version, might as well hit the competition

In the prior versions of .NET, there wasn't a native way to break a collection into a set of smaller collections. Caution: API may contain nuts
Am I missing some subtle difference from paging? I guess that it's one call, no math?

Older technologists often complain that ageism is a huge factor in job interviews, preventing them from landing new positions despite their extensive experience and skills. "Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance."
Yeah, I probably use that one whenever I post about this topic. Sorry. (not sorry)

There are good youngs and bad youngs as well as there are good elder and bad elder professionals...
The best could be actually having a tandem to profit from the strength of each side of the coin.
The biggest problem is, that many recruiters / managers can't tell the difference and mostly fall for the crappy buzzword bingo.

In my aged experience, it's not age per se, but salary. I recently even had a recruiter yell at me for asking 'too much'. It became clear the client wanted high six five figures code monkeys.
Which brings up a second factor; they don't want someone criticizing their design, code or procedures with legitimate complaints.
Finally, some hiring managers believe you are going to try to take their job. It's psychological projection; they simply can't believe many, especially older, engineers have no desire to be in management (this situation is worse if the engineer ever was in management.)

If the client wanted to pay high six figures, then what could you possibly have been asking for that was too much?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

LOL, typo. I'd work as a code monkey for high six figures. I'd even throw my poop. I'd even code in BASIC.

Israel has submitted the largest amount of ransomware samples since the start of 2020, according to a study. That there's a lot of ransomware out there?

Did they find the template? It seems to have been something like this:
"As you can see, this email is coming from you. This means I've hacked your computer, and unless $300 bitcoin is deposited to XX-XXX-(a lot more numbers and such), I will share all your pron history, and erase your computer."

The first recipient of ransomware was the Duke of Wellington. His response? "Publish and be damned".

Israeli state operators may have developed some viruses, but they have only been applied against other state-level organisations (e.g. stuxnet, reputed to have been developed by Israel and the U.S., was only applied against the Iranian nuclear program).
Israel, has a large high-tech sector, As such, it is too vulnerable to retaliation in kind for it to spread viruses in the way certain Eastern European and Eastern Asian countries are reputed to do.

Here’s a re-implementation of the 65C02 in an FPGA, in a pin-compatible format that lets you upgrade those old computers and games to 100 MHz clock rate! "They've gone to plaid!"

Just when you started to hope that I have not seen this...
That's nothing new. I have been playing with stuff like that since 1989. In fact, my first PC actually was my old Atari ST with an adapter board that held both the original MC68000 ans a 80386, plus some adapter logic. An FPGA is simpler to use, since it can be reconfigured at any time to actually become any processor and adapter logic, all in one package. You can also test drive your own processor design or a variant of a processor that was never manufactured.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Somehow I was expecting a similar response I was expecting also a "pfff, I had it run a 1 Ghz watercooled and had Doom (2016) running on it"

Microsoft isn’t moving to block unsupported installations and might even continue supporting these “non-compatible” Windows 11 with critical updates during the operating system’s lifetime. We're not not not not going to not let you upgrade. Honest.
Sorry, I didn't keep track of the nots in that one. Not sure if it's not true or not.

Did you mean one of these?
"not not (not not)"
"not (not not not)"
"(not not) (not not)"
"(not not) not not"
"(not not not) not"
"not (not not) not"
Or one I missed?

Even though backing up data is seen as a “central IT function” by many IT professionals around the world, most fail to create regular backups. And you've checked you can restore from those backups (that you're not making)?
|

The saddest part is, that even when they are doing backups. Most of the companies make a simple FIFO system with max a couple of months... they will very probably fail against a patient hacker that just wait a time before really "attacking".

Microsoft has released a major Windows Sysinternals update that updates 17 different tools in the collection and even includes a new tool, Desktops, which lets you launch up to 4 virtual desktops. Because I'm a fan of their stuff

I wonder how many of them work properly..

Before Pong there was Computer Space, the first commercial video game. Played it. Loved it
Way better than Pong.
