So 30 minutes to implement the change, mostly spent looking for the correct line of code to change, and 500 hours of burrocratic overhead that kept the change from being done 20 years ago?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

ML.NET will allow .NET developers to develop their own models and infuse custom ML into their applications without prior expertise in developing or tuning machine learning models. As they continue their battle against good product names
|
|
|
|
|
Have to concur, naming a product in this space ML.NET may mislead people to think it is a .NET variant of ML (as indeed F# is).

People will get used to it. Most MS .NET devs are barely aware of F#, so doubt they'll have heard of ML.

Our lives seem to depend more on our phones and less on our computers every day, and that has left Microsoft in a bit of an awkward position for the past few years. Would you rather be a big fish in a big pond, or a bigger fish in a bigger pond?

After APA style change sets world afire, researchers justify double-space but plea for peace. Will we ever have peace in our time?

The study used a fixed font (courier) which makes it useless. I'd like to see it repeated with both serif and sans serif fonts and then have that study replicated (60-90% of studies can't be replicated.)

Yeah, that struck me as a completely stupid move on their part. Two spaces was due to monospace in the first place (at least that I heard)

They say it doesn't appreciably slow people down, despite having to do extra work to determine if the sentence has ended.
To me, that means "it's wrong, but not wrong enough to be a problem."
I insist upon two spaces. It makes things so much easier - like parsing out the sentences just using [space][space] as the delimiter, rather than having to look for . ! and ?

One of the key challenges of moving IoT devices from concept to reality is to have long-lasting operation with tightly constrained energy sources, and thus extreme power efficiency So we can hardware-accelerate, "Did you turn it off and back on again?"

So, they just reinvented solar calculators from the 1980s.
|
|
|
|

TL;DR
even with solar power IO(pwnd)T duhvices frequently restart because their battery gets drained, we used a chip so low power that it can run on solar even in a very dim room and are going to pretend that will solve the problem entirely and ignore that right sizing the solar panels and battery could make it work with existing hardware and that completely dark environments exist.
