New Windows 10 builds are using Xbox's infrastructure for Windows games. I never understood why they didn't all this time

The tl;dr:ms said: We're getting hammered by sony and nintendo, so we might as well call it quits with the xbox.

I don't think they'll actually call it quits. They'll just open up more market possibilities for the x-box games.

I can't wait for his memoirs of his time at the top of ms to be released.
"Musings of Someone who Really didn't have a Clue" is bound to be an instant best-seller.

Once again; how about paying attention to your own company instead of clueless musings?

With this, Flutter now features support for Android App Bundles, Google’s latest technology for packaging Android apps more efficiently and for creating instant apps, too. In addition, the framework lays the groundwork for helping developers accept in-app payments and adds a number of new web-based tools, too. My heart is a-flutter

We’ve seen companies big and small build everything from AI-driven developer tools to AI-powered developer environments. But what if instead of having AI merely help developers write code, it did all the heavy lifting? So the AI posts requests for codez for you?
“and the AI takes care of the rest”
Could someone find my eyes? They've rolled out of their sockets.

Or we could just use libraries and frameworks.
Nah. That wouldn't work. I hate being passe'.

Docker images almost always bring known vulnerabilities alongside their great value But the vulnerabilities are contained, right?
"Snyk recently released its container vulnerability management solution to empower developers to fully own the security of their dockerized applications."
What.a.coincidence. :boggle:

Yes, because backing "freedom fighters" with materiel and weaponry in other countries has always worked out so well in the past, hasn't it.
I look forward to seeing Bill Gates weigh in on this.

The judge said in November: What has happened is unconscionable. It shocks the conscience. Indeed.
Unfortunately, the judge was talking about documents condemning fb being legally released to the public in the public's interest, not about what fb has been doing.
I shouldn't be surprised if he gets a swimming pool out of it.

Collectively, the employees described a workplace that is perpetually teetering on the brink of chaos. It is an environment where workers cope by telling dark jokes about committing suicide, then smoke weed during breaks to numb their emotions. It’s a place where employees can be fired for making just a few errors a week — and where those who remain live in fear of the former colleagues who return seeking vengeance. Just in case you want to feel better about your job
and/or your life decisions

Mark Wallace said: My apologies, but I cannot possibly go forward in developing and implementing process improvements for the company, given the input I have thus far received.
To facilitate my function of improving the effectiveness of the processes, I require accurate, detailed descriptions of how the current processes deliver, what they deliver, and what they do not deliver.
By necessity, these descriptions must be unblemished by any form of embellishment or emotional content.
That is: cut the drama queen crap, because I can't work with that; gimme facts. And that's pretty much exactly what I said to a contractee, a few years ago (you might, maybe if I give you loads and loads of clues, be able to guess which paragraph wasn't in the communique, at the time).
The article is emotionally charged pap, which will achieve nothing -- except maybe bring tears to the eyes of some of its readers (which means it's really in the wrong genre!)
Even if fb management were to be open to suggestions to change working practices (of their subbies, in this case), they ain't gonna pay a blind bit of attention to this "piece of journalism", because it's fruggin' useless, in terms of process management, which needs clear, clean, emotionless statements of conditions.
So they're obviously just trying to snark at fb, which means that nothing in the article can be trusted as truth.
... And I should know, because I'm a world-class expert on process management snark, so I know how it works!

Yeah, we went back and forth on whether to include it in the newsletter, but ended up going with it as we ended up feeling that it was a subset of the internet "conversation" as a whole.
see (to a greatly reduced extent): Soapbox.
And yes, a world-class snarkist indeed

Kent Sharkey wrote: we ended up feeling that it was a subset of the internet "conversation" as a whole. That's fair go, so it was a good call, given that it was given the right kind of consideration.
It could have been a lot snarkier AND a lot funnier, though. People who take "creative writing" courses all too often end up only being fit for Mills & Boon.
