I'm unsure here who is doing the Embracing, who is doing the Extending, and who hopes to Extinguish whom.

So it's an unmanned spacewalk?

I don't recall specifically doing anything to get Curl in WSL - but it's been there over a year for me. If it's not Curl, then what exactly is "curt" ? not many other words come to mind which are similar in spelling to "curt" which the author intended to type... unless it was supposed to be... - oh, my!

If in 12 months Google release a product/service/platform for managing your offline as well as online media content in a nice interface, then this makes a lot of sense.

This looks more like counteracting external forces than the clickbait heading "Boston Dynamics Is Teaching Its Robot Dog To Fight Back Against Humans". The next step is for the robot to determine what external force is being applied - if it is from a human, then it should yield - there may be a very good reason why a human is trying to prevent a robot from opening the hatch to a nuclear reactor, to give a simple example. If it's an anti-riot robot performing crowd control duties, then maybe yielding wouldn't be the best course of action. Unless it was being pulled back by a human police officer. Except if that human police officer is actually an antifa member disguised as a police officer during a riot...

I think that was an attempt at humour. A firestick. STD's. Think a moment about that.

I'm just biding my time waiting for Steve Sanderson's Blazor to emerge as a supported front end UI framework.

A short video presentation from a demo Steve presented at NDC Olso shows how the possibility of sidestepping what I think is the current javascript framework madness.

If I was more disciplined, I might learn to love javascript and some of the various UI frameworks, but as an experienced .NET developer, Blazor appeals to me.

Acutally, the handful of times I've traced back attacking IP's during a significant DDoS attack (3+Gb/s) I found the attacking IP's to be web servers from small to medium businesses running the LAMP stack. The most common was a php file was uploaded to the server and simply executed via the web server due to misconfiguration. Not surprisingly contacting the owners of the compromised servers never yielded any response - but one I did contact I saw that about a week later the offending php file was gone as attempting to execute it via web browser resulted in a 404 when previously it did not. This was only about 3 or 4 years ago, too.

What is the speed of sound in a vacuum, or a near-vacuum?

The code is closer to the original autistic vision when it's left in the original black and GREEN

I keep seeing posts like like - is there some reason for it? Is this an attempt to associate some keywords to other keywords so search engines somehow associate the two (like this example associating "Luddite" with "app")? What is the point?

I for one, have learnt how to use one hand when viewing web pages - no residue on my input devices - except... never mind.

Haven't you heard about the new Agile development methodology? It's great! Ship first, then deal with problems via updates as they arise from your annoyed (or dead, as in this case it may be) customers.

I always thought UAC was a mechanism to start to make developers follow better security practices in the applications they develop.

For instance, It alerted the user when applications tried to store data/config files in the Program Files or C:\ folder, instead of %APPDATA% and the like. Lots of software back in the day simply stored data by default in C:\xxx or even their installers defaulted to folders other than the program data folder. I think UAC made some developers ask why was their application causing a UAC notice, and if it was something they could fix (like writing data to the appropriate folder) they did.
