Seriously? Is this meant as Joke Of The Year?
As long as we ignore desktop users, and limit the survey to software developers - sure!
A survey among truck drivers show that the number of vehicles running on diesel far outnumber those running on regular gasoline, right?

The system takes 28 minutes to boot up but it can multitask. I'm pretty sure 'runs' isn't the right word

"Nanofrazor" cuts tiny single with first 25 seconds of “Rocking Around the Christmas Tree” 33 or 45?
or 78, for that full retro sound?

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

The latest version of Stardock's WindowBlinds 11 allows you to make your PC look as if it's running Windows 95. In case you need something to start you up

Quote: "Arguably the most incredibly dumb feature of Start11 is the ability to change the Windows 10 start menu to one that looks almost identical to Windows 11's."
Fixed. Also, only top and bottom positions available, so it can't fully mimic Win 95.

The conventional wisdom that’s been handed down around software design is more about following a set of rules and best practices than reducing complexity. One day, John Frum will fix all our code
Not a new article, but new to me.

He points out the difference between a novice programmer and an experienced programmer. The novice will follow the "rules" without thinking about whether or not they're applicable.

He also says, rephrasing a book about plain writing:
Quote: Rewriting is the essence of programming.
So true, but many fail to do it once the code works. Rewriting will probably break something, and the thought of having to debug it again is oh so painful.

Explain to me why I thought of Clutch Cargo[^] when I read the thread title.

This year, 2022 marks the 60th anniversary of that fateful day in 1962 when a 24-year-old Donald Knuth started writing “The Art of Computer Programming.” "I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree."
Or even a hash.

Well, I watched a few minutes of the lecture.
Then I went out and looked at the first 3 pages of Volume 1.
About the same as I've done for the last 20 years or so.
And somehow I still don't have vast knowledge of algorithms!!
I supposed I just need some more work with HTML, JavaScript & CSS and I'll understand the things that Knuth talks about.

You should rather study IBM 360 assembler code. That would give you a better background for understanding his code samples.

The C++ 2023 standard won't have an asynchronous algorithm feature called senders and receivers. It will instead remain perpendicular

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?

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.
