Hey @merill and @NathanMcNulty are you aware that in the Passkey campaign rolling out on tenants since September MICROSOFT DO NOT RESPECT FIDO2 POLICY of the tenant?!!! Tenants with Fido2 policy enforcing attestation now have hundreds of users with synced and browser passkeys!!!

DHH is probably one of the top software artisans of the past decade. Hearing him speak with this much conviction and transparency about one of the most polarizing topics in software right now, writing code by hand vs. with AI, is something pretty much every software engineer should hear a few times. Especially those still on the wrong side of history.

Je sors de près de 3h de briefing et d’échanges avec le Président de la République et les services de renseignement et de sécurité. Du haut de mes 50 ans, je n’ai rarement ressenti tel vertige. Vertige de la gravité des situations au Moyen-Orient et en Ukraine, de la folie prédatrice qui mène le monde au chaos. Vertige des risques et conséquences sur notre sécurité, notre économie, notre pouvoir d’achat. Vertige de tous ces candidats qui rêvent, sans retenue, sûrs de leur fait et de leurs postures, de gouverner la France dans cette époque et cette situation historique et grave. Notre démocratie, notre pays doivent déjà faire face aujourd’hui et devront faire front demain. Plus que jamais je me battrai, à ma modeste place, pour que la France ne cède pas son destin aux egos délirants, aux va-t-en guerre de salon, aux pacifistes de pacotille et aux soumis de la facilité et de la peur. La France doit plus que jamais être forte. Nous devons tous y contribuer. L’avantage du vertige, c’est qu’il vous rappelle de ne pas tomber. @PartiRadicalG

This dad making a sandwich with his kids' instructions is basically what happens when people use an LLM, and something goes wrong. Kid says, "Put the peanut butter on the bread.” Dad stabs the jar into the loaf. Kid loses it. But he did what was asked. Inexperienced people keep running into this with DAX formulas. It runs, the number comes out, looks fine. Nobody checks it. Two weeks later, someone asks why the report doesn't match finance, and the answer is often the same: the formula did what you told it, not what you meant. People think the hard part of using AI is making it work. It's not. It's realizing you left something out of the instructions that you thought was obvious. A person would have asked, "Wait, what do you mean by last year?” The machine (often) just picks one and goes. The annoying part is that to write a prompt that gives you the right formula, you already need to understand the problem well enough to write it yourself. At that point, you're saving time on typing, not on thinking. I don't have a good answer for what someone starting from zero should study right now. The fundamentals still matter, though. If you understand the concepts and the semantic model, you can check what comes out.  If you can't check it, you're the kid watching the sandwich fall apart.  Video credits: "Exact Instructions Challenge" by Josh Darnit on Youtube.

With all respect, Dave Cutler should be in the same group of super geeks alive. He created so many OS'es that he himself can't count. :D

No disrespect to Linus Torvalds, but this guy is the greatest geek alive 🫡 Created UNIX in 1971 when he was 28 years old. Created Go in 2009 when he was 66 years old😲 He also developed the B programming language (which led to C), created UTF-8 encoding (making international text possible online), and designed essential tools like grep that developers still rely on daily. He also helped with the development of Multics (that led to UNIX), Plan 9 from Bell Labs and Inferno operating systems. That's 4 operating systems in total... Most people don't even use these many OS. Pretty impressive resume, right? 🔥 And it's a shame that many people, even the ones in the IT and tech industry, don't know him. Ken Thompson.... Remember the name 🙏

Si comincia! Buona #wpc2024 a tutti! @OverNetE @ilsensa7 @marco_parenzan

Have to admit that this made me laugh...

Today's BIG news: Microsoft Entra External ID's just went public preview. We've unified the capabilities of Azure AD and Azure AD B2C into a single, easy to use, developer platform! Get started here (this time with the correct link): microsoft.com/en-us/security…

Grande Andrea!

Buon viaggio papà.

Sorry, but we can't stay silent on this one, it's just far too cynical. What 🇷🇺 is doing in 🇺🇦 is slaughtering innocent children, women and men for its own gain. It's definitely not "fighting Nazism". Shame on anyone who's falling for this. (Sadly, we're kinda experts on Nazism.)

Update for #MicrosoftTeams voice admins. Assignment of Direct Routing phone numbers is back! Call Queue wizard redesign is live! We've also added an async bulk upload for network elements like subnets & Wi-Fi APs - check it!

When I read this story by @troyhunt about how @Cloudflare and @Azure misfired to cause a huge bill I felt terrible. I reached out to @scottgu and proposed we split Troy's cost. Scott immediately agreed. Great to support our mutual customers! troyhunt.com/how-i-got-pwned…

Microsoft Teams’ Walkie Talkie feature now available to everyone. a.msn.com/00/en-us/AASHB4d?o…

New voice stuff in #MicrosoftTeams admin center today includes Direct Routing number assignment, Resource Account search (now using ConfigAPI, along w/DR config), BW Mgmt Policy, MoH policy & more. Try it out & LMK if you see anything goofy; a couple regressions already found...

Communication is what is HEARD not SAID. Effective communication is what is REMEMBERED not HEARD.

Call Health in #MicrosoftTeams is here. It provides realtime network, audio, video and screensharing statistics. Christmas comes early this year🙏🙏
