The company is being paid $843 million to a build a rocket to "deorbit" the space station. They're going to use the Tesla self-driving code?

Then NASA had better put an emergency vehicle running it's lights on a barge at the target point. 
Actually, deorbiting the ISS is a perfect use case for the cargo variant of Starship. Starship is big enough that once disassembled, each module could fit in Starship's cargo area. Let's bring it down and study the long-term effects on the various materials.

Pretty smart... I'm behind though. Why are we wanting to deorbit a space station? Can't we do something with it?

I hope not... if they do, instead of landing in the ocean it would hit a big city

Microsoft pulled the June Windows 11 KB5039302 update after finding that it causes some devices to restart repeatedly. Who could have...who could have...who could have...

A restart loop was perhaps the most feared scenario in the products I worked on. Plus ça change...

In the age of GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Google Gemini and all the rest, one of the most-used AI coding assistants is still the venerable IntelliCode feature of Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE, whose six-year-old tech now seems positively ancient. If it works, don't AI it

This threw my head off a bit. Intellisense vs Intellicode.
The latter is sort of the former after reworking it when they did AI it.
Had to go poking a little because I knew Intellisense has been kicking way longer than 6 years.

Yeah, Intelli{foo} was the new Active{foo} or Direct{foo} for a while with Microsoft.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has published research looking into 172 key open-source projects and whether they are susceptible to memory flaws. But that's OK - they have plenty of eyes looking at them

1, didn't realise was a thing. Apparently been in places since 2022 on desktop
2, are they not already optimising the first section as if page 1 results, so I do not get how returning to pagination they can make improvements. Or are people actually sharing links with page2 or more as a thing to be worth the effort
