Quote: Typescript blog[^]:
TypeScript 3.6 introduces stricter checking for iterators and generator functions. (and much more)
Stricter checking, oh yes, spank those iterators again and again, they've been naughty.

Another GDPR problematic site? At this rate, I might not have any sources left.

sciencex (which is the mother of several sites -- techxplore, phys x, etc.) seems to believe that GDPR compliance means "making people subscribe to your site, giving you all their personal information, so that they can unsubscribe from your site/third party "partners"/etc, and have their personal information deleted in a few months -- but unsubscribing means that they have to accept the third-party partners, again".
So blocked.

Really? I’ve never subscribed, and I can read all the content.

Then you must have clicked the OK button, rather than "More Information", when first shown this huge pop-up:techxplore popped up: This site uses cookies to assist with navigation, analyse your use of our services, and provide content from third parties. By using our site, you acknowledge that you have read and understand our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Clicking "More information" takes you to a several-fold-long Science X page, at the bottom of which is a link:scien sex said: You can read details about our GDPR compliance and the kinds of data we collect on our GDPR page[^] The "GDPR page" claims to give you the ability to:
• Block third-party slurping.
• Demand that any stored personal information be deleted.
The links on the GDPR page all lead to this page[^], which does not provide the possibility to do anything even remotely like:
• Blocking third-party slurping.
• Demanding that any stored personal information be deleted.
All it does is allow you to delete an account that you don't want to create in the first place.
The third-party slurping continues throughout, and the only personal details that they delete are the account details.
Given how trustworthy these people obviously are, it was probably not a good idea to click the "OK" button.

What PII do you think/believe/know they're slurping?

I neither know nor care.
I can't view their pages, because of their attempt to avoid scrutiny, so I can't see what third parties/slurping/whatever are involved.
If it turns out, as you imply, that they (and their third-party "partners") are not slurping anything, then I don't want to view their pages either -- because only incredibly stupid people would go to such lengths to make themselves look slimy and dishonest, and I'm not interested in reading what's written by incredibly stupid people.

Does code quality matter in open source? New research suggests that we value other things. "You can't fake quality any more than you can fake a good meal."

OK, so I got down to the end of the article, expecting to see some kind of conclusion, but there wasn't one.
So why did he bother to write it?
On topic, however, WTE has technical debt got to do with code quality?
If an application has the most perfect, creative, and beautifully designed code, that doesn't mean that there isn't still "stuff to do", and "stuff to do differently, now that we've thought about it some more".
But that's the other problem with the article: it doesn't start by defining what it means by "code quality", so leaves the reader hanging, and then it later more-or-less "undefines" code quality, and uses that "undefinition" as an excuse to reach no conclusions.
I think the guy should spend a bit more time on "article quality", before picking fault with other people's work.

While some Dark Mode experiences can be neon or overly bright, people felt that Outlook mobile kept the kind of relaxed feeling you might want in a dimly lit living room or bedroom. I guess this is what you do after you've fixed all the bugs
Or at least replaced all the icons

From what I've seen, pretty much the only people who want dark themes are developers and a proportion of gamers (quite possibly the same proportion of gamers who are developers).
Way to meet the needs of your target demographic, ms!
Just give us back the tools to make everything the colours we want, eh?
And title bars! Put the damned things back!

Does that mean they had to create a new dark version of every icon in Office.
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?

Decades ago, long before the likes of Java or Python were used widely, banks spotted gaps in the market and stepped in with their own programming languages devised to suit their particular needs. It's not called, 'JobSecurity'
Posted as it was news to me, and for this line: "Investment banks are nothing if not innovative."
