The US bested Pakistan in a nail-biting match at the T20 Cricket World Cup on Thursday, thanks in part to the athleticism of a lead engineer at Oracle. You see what happens when you pay for the support contract?

Fewer and fewer pages are being printed at home and in the office, posing something of a challenge for HP and its rivals. Breaking news: COVID causes not printing!
Maybe the vaccine will make people print more?
And of course the fact that HP knows just how much people are printing has nothing to do with their ink (and toner) cartridges phoning home.

Must be time to raise their subscription prices. /s (but not really /s, as it is probably in the works) 
No more HP for me!!!! Ever again!!!!

Soon, the list of Microsoft apps that can get to newer versions via Windows Update will expand with a new entry: Visual Studio. So you'll have yet another reason to fear Windows Update

Just wait until some CEO decides to use it to force update old versions to new...

Microsoft has been quietly publishing quite a few guides on its official website lately. So you can learn how to do something you didn't want to do in the first place

But you can then use a simple PIN as a password!!! Come on now!!! Who wouldn't want that???

Six numbers beats any 12 character password with special characters and various case!

Microsoft wants you to stop using the UWP Mail app and switch to the new Outlook as soon as possible, but there’s a catch – the new Outlook doesn’t work offline properly. Like it did in Outlook 97? (and every version since - except the current, of course)

Don't worry - AI will soon have the problem corrected.

Researchers are ringing the alarm bells, warning that companies like OpenAI and Google are rapidly running out of human-written training data for their AI models. But if we continue to get dumber, won't they appear smarter in comparison?

Sprints promise to accelerate development, but often do the opposite. Check out this alternative approach to building software. Try a stroll instead

We’re excited to share more detailed plans around Microsoft’s collaboration with OpenAI on their official .NET library. All the AI they want you to have, now in a handy C# package

Following massive customer pushback after it announced the new AI-powered Recall for Copilot+ PCs last month, Microsoft says it will update the feature to be more secure and require customers to opt in to enable it. Just a little bit of complaining is all it takes to do what they should have done in the first place
Of course "in the first place" should have been not bothering to create the feature, but what are you going to do?

With PoC code available and active Internet scans, speed is of the essence. Good thing no one relies on that language anymore
Just 40% of the internet or something like that

According to the article, this bug only affects PHP on Windows, so I suspect the real fraction is rather lower. It also seems to require certain East Asian locales to be active.

Getting an AI to distinguish red from orange was a major challenge. Bow before your cube-ratcheting overlord!

Hurl is a language created for one purpose: to explore a language based around exception handling as the only control flow. Here is an exception to the idea that we could always use one more language

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Reading the language's description certainly made me hurl!

I actually like that catch into syntax.

If it has a depravity keyword, catching into that could be fun!

What sets CompCert C apart from any other production compiler, is that it is formally verified, using machine-assisted mathematical proofs, to be exempt from miscompilation issues. "A proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof. And when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven."
Bless you, Jean Chrétien. For your proven wisdom.
