Now that you mention it, I wonder what hardware they're attempting this on and what their estimated delay will be before any "useful" information is generated.

It's the government, and even worse, DARPA, which gives the work a kind of twilight zone / Schrodinger's cat timeline - it's done / not done / sort of done.

Mozart may enhance a man's performance in board games - while AC/DC may hinder their chances, according to new research. So, how did you spend your grant money, Dr. Fancourt?
|

Since when is the game "Operation" a board game?
As for the "study":
"The researchers are unsure why rock music affected men more than women."
Perhaps the answer is in the previous sentence:
"Generally, women took longer to remove the body parts."
AC/DC makes you operate faster. Had they run advertisements for shoes... (I duck and cover.)

The same reason that a decade ago one of my friends commented that the real problem with priorities among people goofing around with open source was that he could install linux on his ipod, but not sync music to his ipod using linix.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?

While Microsoft has claimed that Edge is the most secure browser around, it has been discovered that scammers can exploit a flaw in Edge to display fake SmartScreen error messages. You had me at "Flaw in Microsoft Edge"
|
|
|
|
|
Fortunately no one is running Edge.
And for those few who are, none are using a SmartScreen.
And for the handful using SmartScreen, they are unable to view error messages.
So, it's all good, since no one is using any of the MS technologies related to devices.
There are those few people running Edge on iPhones who should beware.

I made a very primitive web page about 15 years ago and I use it to hold my most frequently used bookmarks so I can easily transport them from machine to machine. It has worked without issue since that time on every browser I have tried it with. That is, with the exception of Edge. It does not display the page correctly. This page has no scripting or anything special. It has a couple of images, a background image, and some links and that's it - about as primitive as possible. Somehow, the latest and greatest browser from Redmond can't handle it. Oh well. I have alternatives.

This means that unless a website has an HTML5 content player, the Flash content won’t display. Users will have to enable it manually on a site-by-site basis. "Don't push me, 'cause I'm close to the edge. I'm trying not to lose my head"

Anyone on MS Edge would feel like that.

One reason I stopped using Chrome is that HTML5 was really slow on my system, used lots of memory and chewed up a lot of CPU. Has it improved any?
|

Well, you pretty much just described Chrome itself.
They have been getting better. Version 55[^] was their most recent cleanup. It's currently sitting on 194MB of RAM on my machine (9 open tabs), which I *think* is lower than I used to see it.

Most developers think that the work they do at work belongs to their employer, but anything they work on at home or on their own time is theirs. This is wrong enough to be dangerous. "Nothing was your own except the few cubic centimetres inside your skull."

Specially if it is somehow related to your work at the company and can be "included" in the patent or secrecy agreement of the company. Or you are using their resources (laptop knowledge center...) or...

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?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
