After about 15 minutes, the Laundroid opened up to reveal nothing but an empty drawer. An engineer had to reach into the machine to pull out the shirt. Just in case you have more money than brains

Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 users who updated to receive the Meltdown and Spectre patches are reporting they are unable to boot their systems and have been forced to roll back to an earlier Linux kernel image. For those that feel I only mock one company

The popular Unity game development platform has dropped its default Mono-based IDE in favor of Visual Studio products. I thought bed rest and fluids were the cure for Mono?
Not that I would know.

I’m going to show you four common mistakes C#/.NET developers make when dealing with time. And that’s not all. I’ll also show what you should do to avoid them and make your code safer and easier to reason about. Dates are evil

The biggest mistake is trying, "to avoid them and make your code safer".
Accepting the issues and the best course of action; don't fight!

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning

Common mistakes? I'd say they are pretty advanced mistakes. Most people in Q&A still think treating\storing dates as strings is a good idea and that the computer magically knows when "1/2/2000" should be Feb 1st and when it should be Jan 2nd.

Intel's CES 2018 keynote focused on its 49-qubit quantum computing chip, VR applications for content, its AI self-learning chip, and an autonomous vehicles platform. Is it vulnerable to Meltdown?

Finally a smart vacuum is on the horizon!
Don't let your mind wander too far.
It's too small to be let out alone.

Just send me your credit card details and I'll put you down for as many bitcoin as you wish. I promise not to take all your millions of dollars and vanish into thin air.

My millions? Possibly in Zimbabwe dollars, if that.

If we realign our thinking around functions as data, it enables us to discover alternative solutions to standard problems OOP. For those not quite ready to jump to F#

I found this article confusing in that I see in it a strange omission of what, to me, is an obvious optimization, and, imho, a lack of demonstrating what it purports to show.
Specifics are in my comment on the article at Telerik: [^]
Other opinions ?
thanks, Bill

I know I'm not Marc (barring some truly bizarre philosophy concepts), but it seemed to me that the thrust of the article is more-or-less about practical handling of delegates for those that didn't walk into C# from a language that supports function pointers.

Hi Nathan,
While there is, indeed, only one 'Marc Clifton,' I did not intend to diminish the radiance of any of we 'lesser lights' by attempting to draw his attention to this thread.
You may enjoy some recent posts by Marc on this thread: [^]
At this point, vis-a-vis functional programming, I am just a voyeur attempting to figure out what the shadows on the walls of the cave ... refer to.
cheers, Bill

Companies have lost real revenue due to a lack of cloud expertise: on average, about 5 percent of total global revenue "No one knows the lonely one whose head's in the clouds "
|
|

|

Reads like yet another ad for "the cloud".
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.
|
|
|
|

"According to a recent report by cloud and datcenter [sic] vendor Rackspace..." 71% of an undefined group of IT professionals "BELIEVE their organizations have lost revenue..." (emphasis added)
A group trying to sell cloud stuff polls a bunch of people who love to spend money on the latest shiny thing and all they came up with was 5%?
