Microsoft announced today that a future Microsoft Edge update would permanently disable the Internet Explorer 11 desktop web browser on some Windows 10 systems in February. "This is the end, my only friend, the end"
And by "friend", I mean, "browser that caused me to swear more often than almost any other piece of software". But "friend" is shorter.

Since the last versions of Windows that didn't ship with Edge will be at full end of life in January I'm not surprised.

Without much fanfare or even a post in the official Windows Blog, Microsoft released a significant update for Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) in its Preview program. For those that like to phone it in

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/16/marc-benioff-says-newer-salesforce-employees-are-less-productive.html
Quote: How do we increase the productivity of our employees at salesforce? New employees (hired during the pandemic in 2021 & 2022) are especially facing much lower productivity. Is this a reflection of our office policy? Are we not building tribal knowledge with new employees without an office culture? Are our managers not directly addressing productivity with their teams? Are we not investing enough time into our new employees? Do managers focus enough time and energy on onboarding new employees & achieving productivity? is coming as a new employee to salesforce too overwhelming? Asking for a friend. (Im leaving this open ended to get the broadest level of response.)
The message prompted a variety of comments.
Some reacted with an emoji stating “THIS” alongside an up arrow. Others chose emojis that read “WFH” or “citation needed.” Dozens went with a standard emoji known as thinking face.
Caveat Emptor.

Maybe the problem is with the measurement, not the employee? 
I actually emailed ceo@salesforce.com with a more polite version of that question.

Quote: “I hope you will agree it is also disappointing that our private conversations here were almost immediately given to the public media,” he wrote. “I wonder how do we reinforce that Trust is our highest company value?...
Maybe make it public to begin with? That is, if you trust that you are doing the right thing for everyone.
edit: also, have they looked at the term 'market saturation'?

Collisions at CERN suggest the enigmatic antimatter particles can persevere in interstellar space. Especially if used in warp drives

Is this supposed to be "ground-breaking research"? Calculation of the length of the mean free path of particles in a gas is the kind of thing taught in undergraduate thermodynamics.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Given how anti-matter will react with the ground, it's definitely "ground breaking".

"What we often call laws of physics are really just consistent mathematical theories that seem to match some parts of nature," theoretical physicist Sankar Das Sarma writes in the beginning of a must-read new column in New Scientist column. These laws of physics are meant to describe our shared reality, even if they "evolve as our empirical knowledge of the universe improves."

There is a (much better and less hyperbolic) talk by Simon Peyton Jones on Verse here: Beyond Functional Programming: The Verse Programming Language (Simon Peyton Jones) - YouTube.
SPJ is well known for his other language, Haskell, and given the influence that has had, it may be worth paying attention to Verse. I doubt very much he shares the view that it will "soon topple C and C++".

In the middle of this article there's a statement
Younger generations are twice as likely as older generations to want companies to use emojis and GIFs in support conversations
I suspect this is because younger generations in the US don't know how to comprehend written English due to the huge deterioration of the primary education received in the US.

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?

A team led by the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) researchers recently developed an advanced wireless haptic interface system, called WeTac, worn on the hand, which has soft, ultrathin soft features, and collects personalized tactile sensation data to provide a vivid touch experience in the metaverse. I refuse to think about how this will be misused
Or I suppose "used for the reasons it was designed", but I don't want to think of those either.

But those ways you refuse to think about will be how the technology becomes profitable and then goes mainstream.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
