The actuary, who began competing in 2018, claimed this year's title during an esports event in Las Vegas, which was streamed online and broadcast live on TV. Hopefully there were no performance-enhancing drugs involved
Just drugs on the part of anyone watching this on TV. What, there were no darts competitions going on then?

The company has published a new message in the official Windows documentation detailing the end of development for the legacy console mode, a special compatibility tool designed to run old command-line apps in Windows 10. PowerShell ought to be enough for everyone

I didn't even know it existed, and now it's going away...
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Adobe has abandoned its proposed $20 billion acquisition of product design software company Figma, as there was “no clear path to receive necessary regulatory approvals” from UK and EU watchdogs. They'll have to figure some other way to get it out of the market

In software development, “Technical Debt” often emerges as a foreboding specter, casting a long shadow over codebases and development teams alike. Yet, herein lies a provocative truth: technical debt is not a tangible entity lurking within lines of code. Matter of fact it's all debt
|
|
|
|
|
No, technical debt isn't tangible, but it definitely impacts budgets. Kind of like dark matter isn't tangible, but it impacts galaxy evolution.

If it were up to Amazon founder and Blue Origin CEO Jeff Bezos, we'll all be living inside massive cylindrical space stations one day, floating through the distant corners of our solar system while longingly staring back at the Pale Blue Dot we once called home.

This is what happens when dumb people pretend they are smart. Where is all the raw material coming from to build and power these spaceships? Worse is this nonsense:
Quote: "If we had a trillion humans, we would have, at any given time, 1,000 Mozarts and 1,000 Einsteins." We have 8 billion humans. Where are the 8 Mozarts and 8 Einsteins? (No, Taylor Swift is not a "Mozart".)
Even if Earth could support, say, 100 billion humans, do we all want to live in the equivalent of New York City? (Fresh water raises its hand...)

So, Bezos is now pushing O'Neill Cylinders. These were first proposed by Gerard K. O'Neill in his 1976 book "The High Frontier: Human Colonies in Space."
Bezos can't even get to orbit.

Yeah, I vaguely recall hearing that he took a course with O’Neill at college. I guess it stuck with him.

Kent, I recommend staying away from "Futurism" as a source of articles. They're 100% garbage.
