Russian hackers who broke into Microsoft's systems and spied on staff inboxes earlier this year also stole emails from its customers, the tech giant said on Thursday, around six months after it first disclosed the intrusion. That's Microsoft's job

They must have used Linux, otherwise MS would have immediately known about them.

Any hacker who reads my emails would probably die of boredom.

The decision to withhold Apple Intelligence from EU countries amounts to a “stunning open declaration” of anticompetitive behavior, according to the bloc’s vice-president and competition regulator Margrethe Vestager. They were looking forward to suing Apple for anti-competitive behavior for shipping Apple Intelligence

"We decided not to compete in this market."
"That is anti-competitive!"
"What?"

"If you don't compete in this market then who will WE compete against?"
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

The list of withheld new "features" is telling as two of them are aimed specifically at the Apple market as Android has had screenshare and mirroring for a while. This sounds more like Apple is throwing a fit instead.

DevOps, like many trendy technology terms, has gone from the peak of optimism to the depths of exhaustion. It's not dead, it's just busy in a Scrum meeting

Don't look now, but the era of low-code/no-code development may be passing us by faster than we ever dreamt it would. Have no fear. Someone will re-re-re-re-invent it shortly

Model based development is going forward quite excellently though.

Microsoft is making a big push to publicize its new .NET Aspire tech stack for streamlining the development of .NET cloud-native services. The 'embrace' phase of 'Embrace, Extend, Extinguish'

Does this apply to the "patched" versions of Windows I definitely never ever used?

While Google Translate is far from perfect, it's still a helpful way to gain information or engage in conversation. How many of the languages were invented by the AI?
I'm shocked they haven't had Cantonese until now.

You'd need 4 shift keys!?
I bet predictive AI would work really well on that. Enough that building it into the keyboard itself would be worthwhile. Kinda like the whole drag-spelling thing for SMS.

That's kind of how the JIS (Japanese) input works - at least from what I could tell watching a friend typing with it. It guesses at the Kanji variants as you're typing.

In the mid 1980s (before the proliferation of PCs) I was working in Asia.
I was shown a "long-form" Chinese keyboard for a CRT terminal.
It had a matrix of about 30 x 20 keys, each with (if I recall correctly) up to 16 characters, and a 4x4 array of shift keys.
Expert users were capable of more than single figures of characters-per-MINUTE.
(I believe its heritage was typesetting machines.)
They were just starting to develop constructive entry methods, where the character could be "assembled" from multiple keystrokes on a regular sized keyboard, and they had some of what we would now call predictive text to speed things up.

A programming language akin to BASIC (in being more like 'natural' language) might be really really strong for languages where the characters have that semantic difference based on context.
I say that not really knowing much about them.
For the insanity that was APL, it probably did have its strengths though and I can see where that contextual difference is basically a condensed form of syntax for things we do in code. Stuff like scoping and "var" and other things where in 'normal' languages the context is king and just maybe requires different syntaxes to get what you want.
Does anyone know if there are any programming languages which are explicitly non-English-language based?
(I asked but then googled it because I was that curious)
I found that amongst their other transgressions, AAPL aided the Chinese with their own BASIC. (1/2 joke)
调试输出("Hello, world!")
That last symbol means "raise the roof" and I won't hear otherwise. lol.
Wenyan sounds pretty interesting.
