Codetown ::: a software developer's community
Just a little food for thought... If you use the new Mavrick OS on a MAC do you like it? or hate it? Why and Why not? I would like to hear how software developers feel about this.

Jack, I haven't tried Mav yet but am excited both about it and the strategy behind it. What are your thoughts about it? I look forward to this discussion.
Jack, How are your explorations into Mavrick coming along? I have a 2008 MacBookPro running 10.6.8. I'm thrilled to see that I can switch to Mavrick since 10.6.8 was the terminal OS supported by this hardware. I'm very interested to hear what you've learned ... and others here at Codetown! All the best, Michael Levin

Hi Jack - I am considering loading Mavericks onto my '08 MacBook Pro. I wonder whether it will run efficiently. Any ideas? /Mike

Shuman Ghosemajumder explains how generative AI has transformed from a creative curiosity into a high-scale tool for disinformation and fraud. He shares insights on "Disinformation Automation," the fallacy of CAPTCHA in an AI world, and why engineering leaders must adopt zero-trust "cyber fusion" strategies to defend against automated attacks that mimic human behavior with chilling accuracy.
