Throwing goats is a dangerous pastime that can injure the goats. I recommend cow tipping as an alternative.

News Alert: The U.S. Healthcare System Is Still Fucked. Latest example, Blue Cross prescription formulary changes. Patient not told that medication is no longer covered, nor is the generic. Doctor has to guess on an alternative… denied. Rinse. Repeat.
So, #Microsoft wants developers to use an Electron app reliant on a dumpster full of plugins as their development IDE. What could possibly go wrong? #vscode
Given all the chaos surrounding the Sam Altman firing from OpenAI it looks like AI really is threatening people’s jobs. Well, specific people anyway.
This has been a long time coming. This is good for everyone.

This is why we need to own our important media. Too many company mergers end with the liquidation of a favorite app or service.

Microsoft has patched the Windows 11 ‘product server’ trick for TPM check bypass, but the bypass still works with setupprep.exe. This bypass will upgrade Windows 10 clients to Windows 11 without requiring a TPM.

Post-acquisition Umbraco continues to be a developer-hostile organization. This time they bought the company that created Konstrukt, renamed the product “Umbraco UI Builder”, and released it for Cloud customers or agencies willing to pay $4,000 per year. The vast majority of developers are out of luck.

More details on Qualcomm's new Snapdragon X Elite make me even more excited for an Windows on Arm future, and a real competitor to Apple Silicon.
...the company claims that the X Elite will run up to twice as fast as an Intel Core i7-1355U or Core i7-1360P at the same power level, or it can match their performance while using 68 percent less power. Qualcomm also says the X Elite can match the performance of a beefier Core i7-13800H using 65 percent less power—providing roughly the same multi-core performance at 30 W that the Intel chip provides at 90 W. The X Elite's power consumption appears to max out at around 50 W, and to go as low as 10 W…

Being a pragmatist when it comes to software development, I generally prefer simple solutions whenever possible. So when clients are faced with the challenge of determining which features to add to their products, as a starting point I usually recommend looking at user value versus cost to implement.
Given a progressive value scale from a “cup of coffee” at the low end and a “house” at the high end, we can easily see where the best choices lie.
Looking at the first row in this example, if a user values a feature at “house” and your cost to implement is a “cup of coffee” this feature addition becomes a no-brainer.
Likewise if a user values a feature at a “cup of coffee” but it will cost a “house” to build, it's certainly a feature to avoid implementing.
There may be some diamonds in the center blue area, but more information is usually required before we make those decisions.
Really excited to see if Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X series accelerates the Windows move to Arm and keeps Apple on their toes.
