Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality have always been wrong. A good photographer has always been able to capture the micro-reality they want you to see, even if it's not reality.

Aligning it with the business strategy and demonstrating its direct impact is the key! Ask, "Pretty please, with sugar on top"

Unless you have not been paying attention to Microsoft for the past 18 months, you know that the company has put in a ton of resources to develop its generative AI-based services. You can't spell 'paid' without 'AI'

Considering the historical distinction between coder and programmer. How about 'code monkey'?

Nah, that would be the code elephant. The code monkey gets paid in bananas.

code elephant? Or the coder?

In Visual Studio 2022 v17.11, you’ll discover several new features that address specific issues developers have reported. "Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full"

I was on a plane next to an auto qc/electronics (?) specialist once. He told me there are over something like 65 distinct processor units in a car - probably a lot more now with the in-vehicle entertainment systems in place. Effin crazy! A single window does not need its own dedicated processor.* I believe he said they all communicated with each other as well.
* - There is a case to be made for a simple processor controlling some windows, as modern cars have to slightly lower the windows when doors open if there is no top windowframe, which many cars now use. But 1 for each? And intercommunication? No.
He also said he was aware of a big name (Ford?) once ostracizing an engineer because they designed something like the the handle too well, so it would never break. They modified the design to one less rugged.

The Settings app has taken over, but Control Panels aren't going anywhere yet. The cancellation has been cancelled (for now)

I suppose they have seen how many things would get broken... and someone had a lucid moment and recommended to stop?

Couldn't be - they've pretty much proven there are no lucid people there.

That's why it was not an affirmation but a question

In a wide-ranging conversation with Verizon open-source officer Dirk Hohndel, 'plodding engineer' Linus Torvalds discussed where Linux is today and where it may go tomorrow. "All these words, I don't just say"
And I leave it to your mind to (possibly) fill in the next line.
Also, anyone shocked it's taking them longer than expected to Rustify the kernel?

The change was spotted in the latest Windows 10 preview builds from the Beta and Release Preview Channels. That'll get them to upgrade!

Microsoft has provided a workaround to temporarily fix a known issue that is blocking Linux from booting on dual-boot systems with Secure Boot enabled. Is it, "Don't do that"?
