In April, Microsoft will issue a cumulative update for Windows 11 version 22H2 that adds a few minor new features. But you don’t need to wait: you can download the preview version of this update now. Try them before everyone else finds the bugs!

The company is launching AlloyDB Omni, a downloadable edition of AlloyDB that its users can install on premises, at the edge or on their laptops. If you don't, you know what they'll do to it (I jest, they'll probably do that anyway)
I wonder if there's some other "PostgreSQL-compatible database" out there available for download... ???

Kudos to them.

The enormous network, which the company describes as "a secure, long-range, low-power" network connects billions of devices across the US. Now developers can order a complementary test kit to validate current coverage for their projects. It's a sidewalk sale

Quote: If you are skeptical about the existence of 10x developers or the usefulness of the concept, it stands to reason that you would be 10 times more skeptical about the notion of 10x development teams. As a result, it’s important to frame the “10x development team” as a vision and strategy for continuous improvement that can be enabled by the practice of DPE. DPE will not by itself create a 10x team.
After reading that crime against the English language, I'm no longer skeptical about the idea of a 10x development team. Skepticism requires a believing there is a non-zero chance that it's not pure organic fertilizer.
