Any developer can have a consistent editing experience for their favorite programming language on any tool – even if that tool isn’t VS Code. Insert Tab A into Slot B

Well, I guess the path to world conquest, one OS, one language, one framework, should begin with one code editor, to rule them all.

Actually, there are already implementations of this running under at least one other editor EMACs iirc, so not just one editor.

Google today announced Project Bloks, a new open hardware platform that allows developers, designers and educators to build physical programming experiences that can help kids (5+) learn to code. Young whiper-snappers! In my day blocks were just for hitting one another on the head

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

The Seattle Times reports that Teri Goldstein, of Sausalito, California, sued Microsoft after a failed Windows 10 upgrade left her system performing poorly, prone to crashing, and reportedly unusable for multiple days. Floodgates are opening?
That could be a nasty precedent, if it doesn't get appealed (which I'm sure it will)

Looks good on them - I hope there's another 1 million in line for the same.

Well, it certainly takes a lot of hutzpah to make such sweeping declarations about software engineering based on three months of bootcamp training and a short period of job experience. Programming != coding

They think that if they learn a programming language (such as JavaScript, Python or Ruby)
I love how he picked those three.
Programming is hard. It is an engineering discipline. Bootcamps cannot teach you this discipline in the short period of time they allot.
That should be the startup message on every Bootcamp coder's machine.

A team of researchers claim they've developed malware that can extract data from an isolated computer with no internet connection, camera or audio hardware—all by using sounds generated by the machine's processor and cooling fans. "The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind"

No doubt at a bit rate measured in seconds per bit rather than bits per second!

Indeed. The article itself claims a data-rate of some whopping 900 bits/hour

Researchers keep coming up with these, but I don't think Real Life Hackers would use these methods as they are so obtuse and slow, although they may be useful for something, what that something is remains a riddle, wrapped in mystery, inside an enigma.

If someone has to really collect data over the course of months or years that could be still useful.

If all you want to do is copy the Administrator's password, then 900 bits/hour would be adequate for any password I've ever used (15 characters == 120 bits).
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

If they get that close to my computer, they might as well just pick it up and walk out the house with it.

That is cool way for get data out of air-gapped PC, but what can be a target here? Their method requires so much access that the method itself is not necessary. So someone has to install the malware on that air-gapped PC (so direct access without audit) AND place listening device in the same room? That is pretty much compromised PC anyway.
Also good luck doing it on server rack with quite a few other cooling fans and blowing air conditioning

"no internet connection, camera or audio hardware"
Which means they have physical access and possibly administrative access, but then extract the data using a method which is extremely slow requires the receiver to be in close proximity.
