Obviously the headline is for clicks, but in reality he's only describing how inheritance and decorators can work well together. there also seems to be the fascination to include as many design patters in one article as he can fit in.

Many people are prone to 'remembering' events that never happened, according to new research by the University of Warwick. Like: did you hear that half of people believe fake facts?

That's obviously fake - it can't be anywhere near as low as 50%!

Most Americans do not see "information overload" as a problem for them despite the explosion of internet data and images, according to a Pew Research Center survey on Wednesday. "Tomorrow's illiterate will not be the man who can't read; he will be the man who has not learned how to learn."
Yeah, misattributed to Alvin Toffler, but I just thought it was a good quote.

Microsoft today is announcing the release of R Server 9.0, an update for the commercially supported big data software aimed at large organizations. Microsoft is also releasing R Client 3.3.2, the latest version of the free software that people can run on desktop computers, as opposed to servers. Get it before all the pirates do

I loved that game! Finally made it to Star Commander, top level years ago.

Oh man I forgot about that game. I loved playing Star Raiders on the Atari 800. I remember playing that at a computer store way back in 1981, 82-ish(?). The father of a friend of mine back then was part of a engineering group that met up in the conference room of a store after hours. We would sit out front during the meeting and play Star Raider all night. Awesome times!

A battery replacement program for some models was announced last month. So, leave it in a vacuum and you'll be fine
Although I guess you won't be if you try using it.

The abandonment rate of smartwatches is 29 percent, and 30 percent for fitness trackers, because people do not find them useful, they get bored of them or they break, according to a survey by Gartner, Inc ..and so the IoT remained a hyped dream, without much useful applications other than tracking and hacking people.

It's a multi-billion dollar industry...
...for the trash collectors.
More IoT garbage thrown away, more trash work.
I'm investing in garbage this year...
...and not indirectly, like I did last year by buying into Apple.
This year I'm investing in WasteManagement Systems.

For-profit intensive engineering academies have become prevalent, but some graduates find themselves in debt and unprepared for tech jobs. You mean you can't learn why manhole covers are round at a boot camp?
|

Well, that's where you're going wrong - manhole covers aren't round, they're triangular. Unless of course - we're talking about very different things...

The correct answer needs no such location.
Perhaps I should rescind the offer and remove my mention of it.

Perhaps you were right? While I assert the answer to be fine here, but I'll be damned if I'd explain why it was the right answer, here.

Yep, I thought so. Then again - the tag "Do not iron this garment while wearing" is yet another reminder that not all that seems to be, actually is.
Here, take yer 40 and if you'll excuse me, I've got a gutter to get back to.

It's a shame. I see people everyday fall for this or for-profit so called college/universities and end up right back at the retail or fast food joint with 5 to 6 figures in student loan debt; which they will never pay back. I feel for them, because they are not losers, they were conned. These schools need to be banned or at least not be allowed to accept student loans as payment.
Some kids start programming when they're young, or even in their teens and can probably run circles around 90% of the IT work force; they're a few here. But for everyone else, life is a long process and taking short-cuts typically gets no where fast in any facet of one's life.
