Cybersecurity researchers detail some of the security flaws that are most associated with attacks in recent times. One is years old. What? You have to do something to fix these?

What? Is there a fix?

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?

C#11 added the file scoped types feature: a new file modifier that can be applied to any type definition to restrict its usage to the current file. For your filing cabinet of ideas

About time. I've wanted file scoped classes and variables for a while now. They were a feature in CLU back in the early 80s and I found them very useful to ensure loose coupling of source files. In CLU this was the default.

PolySharp provides generated, source-only polyfills for C# language features, to easily use all runtime-agnostic features downlevel. Shims solve everything
I'm just a caveman, so I'm not entirely sure I understand, but it does look possibly useful?

"Elon Musk arrived at Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters Wednesday carrying an actual kitchen sink"
disclaimer: I don't own a Tesla, I don't use Meta, I hate Twitter, Line, Insta-whatever. I deplore the great dumbing down of interpersonal dialogue and literacy so-called social-media enable.
I consider these hyper-shenanigans best described by Shakespeare's "a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
Unthawed mastodon waits in the wings ? [^]
This Bloomberg article was redeemed, for me, by this:
Quote: One of the best examinations of the social dynamics of Twitter is an early 2020 blogpost by Venkatesh Rao entitled “The Internet of Beefs.” In the deadpan tone of an anthropologist, Rao describes a sort of feudal society where all interactions are reduced to either displays of solidarity or fights. “Anything that is not an expression of pure, unqualified support for whatever they are doing or saying is received as a mark of disrespect, and a provocation to conflict,” he says of Twitter’s unwritten social code (and, in his argument, that of pretty much the entire public internet).
The biggest stars on the platform—e.g., Musk himself—are those who have mastered the art of picking and indefinitely prolonging fights about, well, whatever. The beefing isn’t some unfortunate effect of online life, Rao argues. Increasingly, it’s the point.
Musk’s Twitter takeover, and the impending removal of the various policing measures the old management put in place, will likely let a thousand beefs bloom. That might be good for the site, as more users sign on for the spectacle. It might also be exhausting for some users, who want to steer clear of toxicity and misinformation. Those people may already be considering the switch to Mastadon.
But if Rao is right, migrating to a different online social platform won’t shelter us from those dynamics. Some things might just be inherent to a medium where conversation is a spectator sport.

Our 'code-as-wiki' approach falls far short of the standard set by Donald Knuth, but we hope he might see it as a step in the right direction. "You can always count on a murderer for fancy prose style"

Greg Joswiak said “obviously we’ll have to comply” with the EU’s new USB-C rules while criticizing them for e-waste implications and inconveniencing customers They would rather have everyone else switch to *their* connector

I have to wonder how much money Apple has made from charging cables and such by changing their interface with every new version of the iPhone.

Low-code and no-code means faster software development and deployment, as well as turning developers into facilitators. More half solutions to fix, and people realize that this stuff doesn't code itself?

Sinofsky is still blind to the fact that a 12.3 inch (Surface Pro) display needs a different type of interface from a 4 inch (smartphone) display. There were a lot of good changes in Windows 8, but appearances are literally everything.

To be fair 99% of Google is also unaware of that.
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?
