I'm actually right this very second (give or take this procrastination) pricing out Amazon vs Azure and it's eye opening seeing the price difference.

Details!
Or at least a thumbnail summary, please.

Bandwidth costs for a CDN is over twice as expensive on Amazon than on Azure, and when adding costs you need to ensure you factor things like load balancers, backups, DNS etc.

System Monitor (Sysmon) is a Windows system service and device driver that, once installed on a system, remains resident across system reboots to monitor and log system activity to the Windows event log. Oh look: a new toy from the Sysinternals folk

Been testing it out since last night.
It sure can fill a log file quick with all options enabled depending on how active a machine is.
The next step is to sort thru everything it logs.

Hey, web developer dudes and dudettes: What's your favorite programming language? Is it CSS? Is it JavaScript? Is it PHP, HTML5, or something else? Why choose? A new programming language developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University is all of those and more—one of the world's first "polyglot" programming languages. Because everyone knows you only need one language to accomplish all programming goals

That means that if the language detects you're editing a database, for instance, it'll automatically assume you're using SQL. So, it doesn't roll all those languages into one; it guesses what language you want to use.
..and if it is "SQL", then why am I programming in SQL and not in this "Wyvern" language?

Sounds like yet another tool to promote bad programming practices. No, thanks.
But let me know when they use it to implement its compiler.

Sigh. Looking at the code on GitHub, I note, without much surprise, that CMU's Wyvern, like so many other open source projects, doesn't comment its code either. Pathetic, especially if they are expecting this to be something more than an "I'm bored, where was that article Kent mentioned" novelty-yawner.
Is the CMU reference supposed to carry some "ooh, this must be high quality code as the result of high quality thinking" weight to it? It's no wonder our schools suck.

The machines are taking over. Or they will, if we keep teaching machines to think for themselves. And we can't seem to stop. It's all fun-and-games until it takes over

I read that as "Machine learning goes opera".

Having been looking at the state-of-the-art in Natural Language Processing, we are a loooong ways away from machine learning. I'd say we need another 10-20 years of serious work in tools that can extract true meaning and create reasonable ontologies before anything interesting happens in this field.

"BOSTON (Reuters) - Scientists say they have developed a low-cost robot prototype made from paper and children's trinkets that can assemble itself and perform a task without human help."
"The team's robot prototype borrows mechanical principles from the ancient Japanese paper-folding art of origami, as well as from Shrinky Dinks - plastic children's toys that shrink into predictable shapes when heated."

Software is hard to develop for many reasons: We must figure out what to do, do it, and ensure that we have done it correctly. "You know what happens when you assume, don't you?"

Well, I don't think software development is hard. Obviously it is a hard task for new developers. But as you continue to learn more and more you'll love software development as compared to web development.
I started off as a web developer, but as I continued my journey, I have to quit as a web developer and started working out software development. Because it is most confusing thing to do. Logic to design and API to use and all that sort of stuff.
All you need to know is the syntax of the language, once you know it. You can use any API and any code to work with, you'll get your software up and running in no time at all. It takes time, but it is worth waiting for.

Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!
