When developers lie awake at night, they’re likely not thinking that they didn’t turn around enough tickets that day, or write a certain number of lines of code. kLoC/fortnight?

Forget "simple". I don't even think it's possible in any quantitative sense. At best it would be qualitative, and much like trying to define pr0n: I'll know it when I see it.

For many years, I honestly believed that what this Potter Stewart said, was "I'll recognize it when I see it".
It is a pity that he didn't phrase it that way, considering the double meaning of "recognize".

Maybe the original quote did use recognize. I don't know.

"know" in this context also has a double meaning... :evil grin:

Microsoft, Linux Foundation-backed QIR has a chance to make QC source code portable across different systems Maybe make one quantum computer before you're worried about cross-compilation?

Or it will be a chicken-and-egg problem, because the cross-compiler will need to run on a quantum computer.

Climate models are usually run on supercomputers. But Amazon has donated cloud computing time to run a model—with a twist. Stack up all the empty Amazon delivery boxes to block the sun?

Shooting them into LEO would probably do a better job, as long as you can ignore the astronomers' complaints...

I thought all the smoke stacks from coal powered plants were already doing that? We clean that up, and now the sun is too bright?

Send the politicians up into space. Oh wait, that'll just add to the solar radiation, but certainly not the brightness.

What could possibly go wrong? When I was in high school, the Chicken Littles and World Improvers were warning that an ice age might be imminent. What if things head in that direction?

More than 50 executives sent a letter to Congressional leadership Wednesday urging the passage of billions worth of subsidies for the semiconductor industry. I just bought a bag last night and they weren't that expensive. I'd have thought CEOs could afford them.

So they are saying that our capitalist system isn't working, because the richest of our 'capitalists' aren't willing to invest it themselves?
|
|
|
|
|
Capitalism no longer exists except in black markets.
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I probably should have put a sarcasm tag on that. People paying higher taxes just so the rich can get richer without any financial danger to themselves is getting very old. I sure hope our representatives tell them to go stuff themselves, but I doubt they will.
|
|
|
|

Our representatives are part of the same in-group, so don't hold your breath. They go to Congress and emerge multi-millionaires from insider information, prescient trades, and consulting roles waiting for them when they retire or, as is hardly ever the case, lose a re-election bid.
Besides, few voters want capitalism. They want their own bail-outs, subsidies, protectionism, and think the government should and can kiss everything and make it better.

Microsoft is enabling Windows 11 users to include more pinned, and recommended items in their Start Menus with the latest Windows 11 Dev Channel test build. If they keep these improvements up, they might get back to Windows 10 in no time

|
I haven't been keeping up. Can you put the start bar on the right or left sides of the screen now in 11?
|
|
|
|

I've seen a Registry hack to get it to the side, but I don't think there's a legit way to do it (but I'm not using one of the Insider builds)
Mind you, it doesn't sound like a useful hack:

Wow! Windows 11 is really progressive! So state of the art, and empowering!
