Without access to data, it's hard to make tools that actually work. Enter synthetic data: artificial information developers and engineers can use as a stand-in for real data. Prove yourself brave, truthful, and unselfish, and someday, you will be real data.

Genuine curious, since I don't have the time to read it carefully right now.

meh Pretty much just the bullet-points. Probably more of a "highly opinionated survey" than a review.
But...Monday.

One of the recurring things that come to bite me and my team is having a less experienced engineer or new joiner work completely alone on a project for weeks or months. "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this."
Or senior, IMO. It's always helpful to bounce ideas off of someone.

NASA has granted Nokia $14.1 million to build the first-ever 4G mobile network on the moon. I'm guessing that won't count in my 'free long distance' plan?

Are they leaving some cell phones too (just in case)?
I wonder if the aliens in the dark side of the moon will get them and start using twitter or whatsapp.
Why did noone think on this before? We could have saved a lot of time and computing power from SETI@Home...

A bug in the latest release of Chrome, and other Chromium-based browsers, is causing random debug.log files to be created on user's desktops and other folders. Testing in production again?
|

Now the big question is... is the bug coming from Google or from a Change-Request of Microsoft?

Microsoft has announced that it is ending the ability to cross-sign drivers, effective 1 July 2021. This will effectively make it impossible to release new or updated drivers for Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 systems, including Server 2012 R2. No means no (support)

Quote:
Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2 are still under Extended Support by Microsoft, and will remain supported until January 2023. Windows Embedded 8 and Windows Embedded 8.1 are supported by Microsoft through July of 2023.
...
So… “Sorry, big government contractor… that big, multi-million dollar piece of equipment that you build for the government? We know you found a bug, but we can’t update the drivers anymore, because of Microsoft’s policy.” Good that my hardware is old enough to have already the newest version available
Quote: One thing with which I have historically credited Microsoft is their willingness to listen to the community, and change their course when necessary. Does this guy live in a parallel universe? Are we speaking about the same Microsoft?

Such a universe wouldn't be parallel, it would be upside down and backwards.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
