Building desktop applications with C# and WPF is still a rich and active area of development, but if you're looking to the future of either a current project or a new endeavor, you need to evaluate what web development tools, languages, and frameworks are the right investment. Step 0: run away, screaming

According to WCJB, city manager “Joe Helfenberg confirmed that the director of information technology, Brian Hawkins, was fired” as a result of the attack. The buck stops there
"The city deemed the employee in question to have left city networks vulnerable to attack, but he was not the individual who downloaded the malicious attachment, the Times added."

So it was obviously his boss who downloaded the file.

It's also a 40% shot that it was the boss' PA; the one with the nice @rse.

A new study from Docebo suggests professionals across the world want to learn skills to help them at work… but the training just isn’t there. Rarely is the question asked: Are... is our developers learning?
I hope this one will go over well. Getting some popcorn to watch the comments!

From the article: 40 percent of older pros in the United Kingdom and 28 percent in the U.S. feel they “don’t have the skills needed to win a new job.” Well, they're idiots, then.
WTF is the Internet for, if you can't learn the stuff you need from it?

Samsung is currently struggling to get its next-generation handset, the Samsung Galaxy Fold, to market, and what makes it even more important is that the company sees the device as part of a bridge to a smartphone-less future. Especially when they (don't) ship like the Samsung Fold

They're absolutely right.
I mean, the predictions about the death of the mainframe, when the PC came out, were absolutely correct.
As were the predictions about the death of the desktop PC, when laptops came out.
And also the death of the laptop, when tablets came out.
You can't ignore these guys; they're always right. They must have a hotline, straight through to Agnes Nutter.

Microsoft has fun on Twitter teasing a new release of Windows 1.0 and all its apps, including the game Reversi. I hope this isn't the new lightweight Windows they were promising us
But the return of Reversi!
Yeah, probably a Stranger Things promotion (Windows 1.0 was from the Upside-down anyway). Time will tell, I guess.

It would be funny, if it weren't what so many dream of happening.

Several buildings at Facebook’s Menlo Park campus have been evacuated after a machine at the company’s mailing facility alerted employees that a package may contain sarin Not going to make light of this. Hopefully it's a false positive.

Hating the b@stards: OK.
Murdering the b@stards: way over the top.

Even then. You can dislike the top brass for the greedy decisions, but the mail room guys trying to feed their family? I guess that would assume the potential senders had the mental capacity to think before acting.

It’s always inspiring to see new technologies making a real difference in our everyday life. It's got to be better than typing it

I once shared a cube with 3 other programmers. My first day one emailed me and said if I had any questions don't hesitate to ask. I replied back and said I would give them a jingle if I did. Programmers don't talk to people, why would we talk to an inanimate object? Besides I don't think I want my laptop typing in the words I say when my code doesn't work the way I want it to. Maybe I'm just old school introvert.

I just wrote my first voice generated PERL script:
open open bracket no open bracket you stupid pile of tin am i meant to say ( ah yes so i am good now where was i yes open bracket damn no backspace backspace will you delete all start again open ( o do come on infile comma arg vector zero no you berk that's dollar sign upper A upper R upper G upper V open square bracket zero close square bracket o my god are you serious i have to leave at midnight close square bracket close bracket oh not again god i hate computers awe no i said awe not or really where's my goddamn keyboard die double quote no scratch that just die
It's a cool enough script but for some reason it won't run.
