Going forward, Windows 10 S will no longer be a SKU offered by Microsoft. Instead, what they will be doing is offering S mode for all iterations of Windows 10 and frankly, this is a much better approach to the configurations. "And that made all the difference"

So they want to charge W10 Pro users to get backward compatibility back, but Home users can do it for free? Sure - I'll sign up for that right now. Not. Seems to me that they have that backwards.

Wow.
By raining down laser pulses on some 770 square miles of dense forest in northern Guatemala, archaeologists have discovered 60,000 Maya structures that make up full sprawling cities.
The data reveals that the area was three or four times more densely populated than originally thought. "I mean, we're talking about millions of people, conservatively," says Garrison. "Probably more than 10 million people."
Cool use of tech. I wonder how it will change this assessment or whether it will bolster it:
A severe drought, exacerbated by widespread logging, appears to have triggered the mysterious Mayan demise

Amazon has been issued a pair of patents for a wristband system that monitors whether warehouse workers are putting their hands in the right places. "According to our data, you lifted around 320 boxes per minute yesterday?"

So in other words, it's so useless that Microsoft wants to offload it to someone else.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Adobe warned on Thursday that attackers are exploiting a previously unknown security hole in its Flash Player software to break into Microsoft Windows computers. Adobe said it plans to issue a fix for the flaw in the next few days, but now might be a good time to check your exposure to this still-ubiquitous program and harden your defenses.

How is it that Microsoft can still claim a better, more secure OS when this crap still goes on? I would not expect application software to be able to bypass an OS' security measures, so it appears Microsoft still has not solved their core issues.

Catching up on this - then don't call your OS secure. Don't claim so as well.
Even so, ponder flash - it runs in a elephanting browser yes? Windows allows the browser - I'm not arguing that Windows should aspire to some DoD level system - but ffs - how do you allow an app running in a browser to penetrate your kernel?

Perhaps one of the biggest problem areas in C#—and one that’s been around since C# 1.0—surrounds the fact that reference types can be null and, in fact, reference types are null by default. "I call it my billion-dollar mistake."

Sometimes I use a class with a
public static readonly MyClass Null = new MyClass(); singleton instance that does nothing to save on null checking.
