Don't forget the "I'm a cr@p teacher who wouldn't last ten minutes in the real world, and I haven't got a clue what to do with my students!" factor.
Never ascribe to, and all that.

Early reports of 'Oumuamua's odd characteristics led some to speculate that the object could be an alien spacecraft, sent from a distant civilization to examine our star system. So much for a "Rendevous with Rama" sequel

Well, apart from the three that Gentry Lee wrote and Clarke edited.

Given that astronomers have to admit they were "mistaken" 80% of the time, it's much more than reasonably safe to assume that Oumuamua is an alien spacecraft, sent from a distant civilization to examine our star system.

I never used Delphi professionally, but I pottered with it, and, at a time when VB was "the next big thing", it was a lot bigger and a lot better.

Microsoft announced it almost a year ago, but starting today Windows Phone 8.x handsets will no longer receive app updates from the Microsoft Store. "Something touched me deep inside, the day the music died" (or the books anyway)
People actually bought books from the Microsoft store?

|
|
|
People actually bought ebooks? (At least ones with DRM you can't break?)
Dead-tree-books never stop working.

It's no secret that data science is a good career path. The jobs are in demand, the salaries are compelling, and the work is interesting. So how does someone break in? "Stand back: I'm going to try science!"
Or, "I like big data and I cannot lie"

Any subject with the word "science" in its name is not a science.

Versioning is inherently hard, but the way that .NET infrastructure is set up makes it harder than it needs to be, I suspect. Don't bother versioning, just create a brand-new project each time

That's a very detailed article, but definitely worth a read
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare

A publicly accessible ElasticSearch cluster owned by Orvibo, a Chinese smart home solutions provider, leaked more than two billion user logs containing sensitive data of customers from countries all over the world. That's not a very smart home then, is it?

Some smart people I know like to share how much they know, so I'd recon this smart home just trying to show off.

A narrative is growing that Ive’s exit from Apple started years ago Once you've seen one polished piece of aluminum, you've seen them all
Or aluminium, if you prefer. (really, it does make more sense)
