The rise in generative AI tools like ChatGPT has created a hot market for "prompt engineers." That prompts me to say a few words (none of which I can print here)

HI (Human Intelligence) prompt engineer pays far less and provides far more frustration.
I often write up an email that explains the issue or prompts a human for input but I get nothing in return.

In April, Microsoft will issue a cumulative update for Windows 11 version 22H2 that adds a few minor new features. But you don’t need to wait: you can download the preview version of this update now. Try them before everyone else finds the bugs!

The company is launching AlloyDB Omni, a downloadable edition of AlloyDB that its users can install on premises, at the edge or on their laptops. If you don't, you know what they'll do to it (I jest, they'll probably do that anyway)
I wonder if there's some other "PostgreSQL-compatible database" out there available for download... ???

Windows 7 still runs on more Steam PCs than every version of Linux combined. That should get everyone to upgrade!

What they were able to do is find a way to prove the Pythagorean Theorem using trigonometry without circular logic - something mathematicians have been trying to do for nearly 2,000 years. I guess someone should have asked them a while back

Kudos to them.

The enormous network, which the company describes as "a secure, long-range, low-power" network connects billions of devices across the US. Now developers can order a complementary test kit to validate current coverage for their projects. It's a sidewalk sale

Then they refold it into a broach and then a pterodactyl.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Quote: If you are skeptical about the existence of 10x developers or the usefulness of the concept, it stands to reason that you would be 10 times more skeptical about the notion of 10x development teams. As a result, it’s important to frame the “10x development team” as a vision and strategy for continuous improvement that can be enabled by the practice of DPE. DPE will not by itself create a 10x team.
After reading that crime against the English language, I'm no longer skeptical about the idea of a 10x development team. Skepticism requires a believing there is a non-zero chance that it's not pure organic fertilizer.
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?

Do they realize that they are easier to replace than some other jobs?
