Which is nowadays exactly what happens. Windows re-enables the updater.

Fake news alert!
The true version would be:
Windows 10 now uses machine learning to ensure that updates start installing a minute before you need to use your PC.

So close, yet so far. One tiny change, s/start/finish/ and it would be as close to perfect as an automatic default could be. As long as I can continue to override it to reboot when I click yes, there're more important things to grouse about.
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?

As a software developer, you want nothing more than to build and deliver great products and features to your customers. But you also know software development isn’t always easy since making changes is a guarantee that bugs will be introduced. Except for the ones that really bug *me*, of course
Yes, mostly an advertisement, but with some good points for discussion

Although most businesses have security protocols in place for sharing information from the intranet, employees do not seem to know the guidelines. There's a company protocol for that?

In this article, I will discuss two features proposed for C# 8. The first one is the Ranges and the second one is Recursive Patterns, both of which belong to the category of Code Simplification. In case you want to play with the deer and/or antelope

Making code more difficult to read by adding arbitrary symbols is NOT "simplification".

Early last year, YouTube received a design refresh with Google's own Polymer library which enabled "quicker feature development" for the platform. Now, a Mozilla executive is claiming that Google has made YouTube slower on Edge and Firefox by using this framework. So that's why I've been having to wait for my cat videos!

One of those "no sh*t Sherlock" moments.
(And in an odd irony, Polymer doesn't use Go. Maybe SpaceX could gather all JS frameworks and launch them into the sun.)

I think SpaceX will have to wait for their Falcon Heavy[^] - the sheer mass of JavaScript frameworks is starting to cause gravity to increase I think.

The pursuit of thinner, lighter laptops, a trend driven by Apple, means we have screwed ourselves out of performance. They look at me funny when I set up the mini in the coffee shop though
|

Slightly misleading since few laptops use desktop CPUs and GPUs. Heat has always been a problem, along with flaky batteries, lack of expandability, crappy touchpads and breaking in expensive ways.
My kids used to ask why I never bought a laptop for myself and now that they've had the "joy", they've seen the light and have either switched or will be switching to desktops when their current laptops pine for the fjords. (Except my youngest, who uses her laptop for relatively trivial things.)

Cybercriminals are delving into the past to launch attacks based on some very old vulnerabilities according to the latest report from Kaspersky Lab, and they're using Linux to do it. Linux is the new Windows?
I didn't feel like a "The Year of Linux DDoS" item.
Then again, I guess I just did.
Bother.

What Go Cloud then gives these developers is a set of open generic cloud APIs for accessing blog storage, MySQL databases and runtime configuration, as well as an HTTP server with built-in logging, tracing and health checking. Go go gadget cloud?
|
|
|
|
|
Google wants lots of things.
I'm tempted to be more sarcastic, but given the choice of Node.js or Go, I'll take Go. (Okay, I won't take either since cloud development bores me, but I'd rather punt the project to someone using Go, since I won't have to vomit if I have to get involved. Remember, I C++.)

I would jump on it in a sec. Google just needs to make sure Android (Android Studio), iOS (XCode) and all major browsers support it out of the box.

This bug occurs because Bluetooth-capable devices do not sufficiently validate encryption parameters used during "secure" Bluetooth connections. More precisely, pairing devices do not sufficiently validate elliptic curve parameters used to generate public keys during a Diffie-Hellman key exchange. Good job, Harald

Scientists have created the most dense, solid-state memory in history that could soon exceed the capabilities of current hard drives by 1,000 times. New technique leads to the densest solid-state memory ever created. Don't worry: file sizes will expand to fill those too
