Hmm. I think the financial damage would be the least of our worries. A vast amount of first-world civilization depends upon a functioning Internet. Those communications are used for resource management. I suspect a sudden failure of those communications would trigger a massive cascade of failures in the majority of systems that maintain and operate our society. We might last for an outage of hours or even days, but I think too much longer than that and we would see significant casualties.

Linux maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman has sent in a pull request for Linux 5.13 aimed at dealing with grief caused by the antics of some students at the University of Minnesota. Someone's not getting invited to the Linux developers' holiday party

Are you trying to learn to code? Or perhaps you're an educator or a student, or you know someone who us? Sometimes it's intimidating when you consider all the things to install and run to get started. Come to the Dark Side - we have LINQ

As Apple CEO Tim Cook prepared to leave the stand on Friday afternoon on the 15th and final day of courtroom testimony, Gonzalez Rogers took nearly 10 minutes — the longest singular line of questioning she's put to a witness in the trial — to grill Cook about both the business model of the App Store and the very nature of its relationship with developers. Maybe she just wanted to cook Tim?

Sad how companies must now offer courses that should have been required freshman college courses for, well, probably everyone, regardless of their to-be-declared major.

2021 is a big year for Windows. Even without Windows 10X, Microsoft has a lot of plans for the Windows platform thanks to Sun Valley and its renewed interest in bringing OS innovation to market. "These go to eleven."
