It seems CNN did excellent research in tying Mark Robinson to minisoldr.

And this article is very revealing, and shows how gross, sick this individual is. There’s something really wrong with him.

The article is disturbing - and it’s worth noting that CNN has withheld more evidence that is evidently much more disturbing. Goodness…

I came here just to upvote this comment. Thank you.

You’re awesome - have a great day. Thank you.

Thank you very much for taking time to reply - and for the added context!

Can someone help me understand this?

While drawing criticism for limiting Python execution to locked-down Azure cloud containers, Python in Excel has also earned accolades from the likes of Python creator Guido van Rossum, now a Microsoft Distinguished Engineer, as well as Pandas creator Wes McKinney.

Does this mean the creator of the Python language is a Microsoft employee now?

Further, does this mean that Python in spreadsheets only works in the cloud MS Office?

Then there’s this:

Left unmentioned in Monday’s announcement is that Microsoft managed to convince the USPTO to issue it a patent in July 2024 on the Enhanced Integration of Spreadsheets With External Environments (alt. source), which Microsoft explains covers the “implementation of enhanced integrations of native spreadsheet environments with external resources such as-but not limited to-Python.” All of which may come as a surprise to software vendors and individuals that were integrating Excel and external programming environments years before Microsoft filed its patent application in September 2022.

What are the implications now that this patent has been granted - considering there is nothing new with running scripting languages in spreadsheet applications like Libre Office Calc?

And I wonder: if a spreadsheet application vendor wanted to incorporate scripting in Python in their application, could they be hindered from doing so?

I’m curious to hear the thoughts of others on any of this news. Thank you.

I have a feeling the quiet part might be something like this:

“… but I need to run to avoid prison.”

Excellent point! I hope we learn more about this. Thank you for posting this article!

In fact, I appreciate the meaningful articles that you post on Lemmy - thanks for doing that!

Republican who listed a claim of a $320k loan to his campaign…

This past May, Ogles amended his campaign financial reports, admitting that he had only loaned the campaign $20,000.

Actually only loaned $20k to his campaign.

It would seem he was off by $300k.

Both, impressive and convenient use of arithmetic there. Wow.

…, ruling that only death can wipe a candidate from the ballot.

With his astonishing lack of empathy, I can almost imagine Felon Drink Bleach casting a pleading, nodding glance at Brain Worm Guy.
