GitHub is the home of a strong open source community, including hundreds of Microsoft projects
Hmm, there's over 1.1 million GitHub projects (reference[^]) and only several hundred Microsoft projects.
Should give Soma pause.

True. I think 'the pause' is one of the main reasons they seem to be bolting everything they can to GitHub, trying to get more attention.

The Future of Life Institute wants humanity to tread lightly while on the road to really smart, and not so cuddly, robots. That's good. If the AI actually reads the letter.

I asked Cortana - she says there's nothing to worry about so that's good enough for me.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, that's a load off my mind.
I wonder about Siri though.

Recently, an exploit has been uncovered in Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) - which covers roughly 60% of Android's install base, according to the Android Developer dashboard - and Google is saying that they will not patch the flaw. Security for thee, but not for me

There is mounting evidence to suggest that developers get lazy… a lot. But is it fair to accuse developers of laziness when they’re only trying to streamline processes? Nothing strategic about me
|

Well... If lazy is to try to find the easiest way to do something... then yes, I am lazy.
On the other hand... seeing the % of "urgent gimme codez, plzz"

The world's most popular OS exits 'mainstream' support Jan. 13, marks midpoint of 10-year support lifetime. Windows 7 middle-aged? Guess it will be getting a sports car soon.

Next week thus marks the halfway point of Windows 7's decade-long support stretch, which ends Jan. 14, 2020.
Woohoo, another 5 years before I even have to start thinking about switch OS's. Maybe by then, Microsoft will have gotten the fiasco of W8 fixed (is that supposed to be W10?) or the Linux world will have finally developed a usable desktop and .NET will be fully available on it with a decent IDE (but that's the more improbable path, IMO.)

Energous is one of a handful of companies hoping to change that. It claims its technology can charge your phone and wearable from up to 15 feet away, no wires required. Side effects may include whole body burns, appearance of second heads, and glowing children.

Microsoft might be close to releasing the preview version of Windows 10 for phones as the Insider app is now available in the Windows Phone store. Sure, run your phone on an alpha version of the OS. What's the worst that will happen?

Today, we’re excited to release the alpha version of Rust 1.0, a systems programming language with a focus on safety, performance and concurrency. Look at that: it's rusted almost all the way through

New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0
There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

Yeah, but I've used that song for the last couple of posts about Rust, so I decided to skip it this time.

Gotcha, didn't go back very far but should have figured you'd be on top of it.
