What good will it do to steal from the poor? The rich are the ones with the money!

IOW, don't get greedy.
Good gastronomical, as well as financial, advice.

For more than six years, Microsoft Research has been honored to develop the Soundscape research project, which was designed to deliver information about a person’s location and points of interest and has guided individuals to desired places and in unfamiliar spaces using augmented-reality and three-dimensional audio. Screeeee! click-click-click scrawk.
Time to open source it, it's gone that well?

Sure, there are plenty of benefits to knowing a coding language inside and out, but the field is evolving beyond the requirements for deep language expertise. It don't matter where the semi-colons go, just as long as the logic do flow

It's the thing the person leading the classroom based training uses to slap your desk with when he catches you watching cat tube instead of paying attention to his lessons on the latest special high intensity training ordained by senior management.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Where will Python be in 100 years? It's a question MIT-based AI researcher Lex Fridman posed to Python creator Guido van Rossum towards the end of a wide-ranging, three-hour interview. No one expects the future of python!

In the late 1970s, when the discussions were hot about what to put into Fortran 77 (and there were some really crazy proposals), one of the big gurus (Hoare?) remarked that "I don't know what programming languages will look like in year 2000, but I know they will be named 'Fortran'".

Enterprise software platform provider Mendix recently announced the results of its annual Low-Code Survey that demonstrates a shift in low-code application use. All hail Excel and Access!

Quote: 7 in 10 organizations now consider low-code a core part of their business
Said by the organizations themselves? Or by the provider / owner of the low code software?
If the first... we are doomed.
If the second... I think the people in the marketing department should attend basic school again.

I love how these "statistics" work. Here's how it goes.
Marketing intern: Let's tell people that 99.9% of businesses use this.
Marketing Boss: No, no. We don't go that high because then it is too obvious. You see we say 70% -- which is a majority -- and then each individual at all those businesses that don't actually use it (99.9%) think, "hmm... I guess we are in the lower 30% here".
It's a perfect Gaslight!! They use it everywhere nowadays!!
Marketing intern: You really are in the top 70% of all Marketing Bosses though, right?
Marketing Boss: As far as you know.

The real question is "what is low code?". Model based design has its advantages in many situations, so does autogenerated code based on domain specific languages and tools.
In certain scenarios enforced consistency is the most important feature of the design. When it's broken planes fall, self-driven cars accelerate towards a truck backside or a guard-rail, ships sink, power plants go boom...

A new attack method named COVID-bit uses electromagnetic waves to transmit data from air-gapped systems, which are isolated from the internet, over a distance of at least two meters (6.5 ft), where it's captured by a receiver. Bad news if your power supply is radioactive
"For a successful attack on such systems, a rogue insider or an opportunist intruder must first plant custom-made malware on the target computers through physical access to the air-gapped device or network." Why, oh why, do I insist on posting these?

Full-stack engineering sounds like a dream. In fact it’s a recipe for slower development, lower-quality software, soaring technical debt, and overstressed engineers. Jack of all trades, master of none
