A Microsoft employee tweeted a photo of the Notepad tabs before quickly deleting it. Oops. If they keep this up, they might just make it useful
instead of convenient

So Microsoft's Notepad may get 1% of the features of Notepad++? 
And what high school student did they give that project to - given that it looks like shyte on that screenshot?

Acquisitions that reduce competition NEVER benefit consumers!

Password manager says breach it disclosed in August was much worse than thought. So, they're the last place you want to save your passwords?

When the initial reports on this breach were released, I let everyone in my company know they needed to immediately change their passwords everywhere if they used LastPass.

 For any grief that may have caused them, they should be grateful now. This is class-action, shut down the company bad for them. As the saying goes, they had one job...

I prefer 2FA authenticator app over services like this.
But reading this: LastPass Review 2022: is it safe and reliable?[^] it suggests that even if a hacker got the source code, which they did, and user data, which they have twice now, they still don't have access to the user passwords.
FWIW, I'm no fan, nor supporting LassPass, only stating known facts.
But, the class action lawsuit could be the end of the company.

Microsoft has published its plans for Entity Framework (EF) Core 8, its .NET ORM (Object-relational mapping) library, including a proposal for pre-compiling queries, better support for “database first” models, full support for JSON columns, and a new experimental SQL Server provider for .NET, codenamed “Woodstar.” Because it's all about the data

I believe the conventional idea of "writing a program" is headed for extinction, and indeed, for all but very specialized applications, most software, as we know it, will be replaced by AI systems that are trained rather than programmed. "The report of my death was an exaggeration"
It's been ending since it started, hasn't it? (at least back to 4GL, but I suspect the machine fiddlers hated those new high-level languages like Assembly and C)

If this turns out to be the case, writing a program will simply be replaced by writing a specification that needs to be nearly complete and unambiguous. So, in natural language rather than computer language, but not all that different from now, though sadly suited maybe more to lawyer types than to today's software developers.

 A long time ago there was a CodeProject regular who boasted about his "Plain English" programming system. Perhaps he sold his software to Fixie.ai

Nelek has a good point ...  However, this is quite well done from the perspective of a newbie in Rust (with chronic lack of time, like me  ), as it is very minimalistic yet quite informative, even including Windows installation info . Looks like an interesting track to follow, thus bookmarked, thanks ...

The FBI said that cybercriminals are buying ads to impersonate legitimate brands, like cryptocurrency exchanges. Ads are often placed at the top of search results but with “minimum distinction” between the ads and the search results, the feds say, which can look identical to the brands that the cybercriminals are impersonating. Just don't block the nice ones, please
