While lambdas do not allow us to write anything we could not have written before their introduction, they greatly improve the ease with which we can write function objects and callbacks. In case you haven't moved on to Omicrons yet

Under the company's new invite-only Ad Verification program, Amazon is tracking what ads participants saw, where they saw them, and the time of day they were viewed. And they promise to not peek while you're entering passwords

I guess being in the top 10 of blocked trackers in MS-Edge isn't good enough for Amazon.

According to the company, Windows 10 and 11 customers might experience problems with apps that use ODBC connections (sqlsrv32.dll) to access databases. I guess ODBC is pretty new, so it's forgivable
It's probably older than many of the Windows developers.

According to a report on Tuesday, the company has considered building an app that combines shopping, messaging, web search, news, and other services. Maybe they could call it the MicroSoft Network?

Or an even killer version: the MicroSoft Bob Network!

All the AI they added in the last few versions, but especially 2022, really do speed up writing code. The most impressive to me is when it anticipates with something like 80% accuracy what I'm going to type next.

Besides firing most of Twitter's technical staff, new owner and CEO Elon Musk has dropped support for Twitter's open-source efforts. "Turn around, bright eyes"
Only because it was stuck in my head earlier today.

There is nothing in that article that says twitter is turning its back on open source.
Instead there is an angry previous employee who mutters something about "open source twitter employees have left".
That is a garbage article. The headline makes you think that Musk has "turned his back on open source" but please show me any quote from that article that has someone from twitter (not a disgruntled former employee spewing) saying that twitter has turned their back on open source.
Media & reporting is total garbage. They only manufacture news, never simply report it.
Also, check out the other articles from ZDNet (garbage-hole) that are along side that article:
Why I'm not deleting Twitter (yet)
How to delete your Twitter account and protect your data
Why Twitter will fail shortly
Ditching Twitter? How to get started with Mastodon
But I'm sure there is no bias at zdnet.

What else would you expect from Steven Vaughan-Nichols? He isn't a journalist, he's a technology critic, he writes opinions, his opinions. He made ZDNet irrelevant to me long ago.
