The programme office says it completed a 27-month test programme in less than 11 months Because by now everyone knows that devs double their estimations, so it is easy to slash it in half (minus an extra bit they prolly took as extra margin)

Boeing specializes in making things fall to the ground, though they do have an issue with control.

That can always be fixed after it is in production, with some updates

Computer scientists at the University of Waterloo have found a novel approach that significantly improves the storage efficiency and output speed of computer systems. "That's what the flair's about. It's about fun."
I'm missing something, as this doesn't seem all that novel to me.

Well, it's about time someone invented redundancy and load balancing!
How stupid can we be, not thinking of it?
Still, I suppose we can all profit from faster response times, now.

You know how to explain things to an audience whose background is like your own. But how do you get the message across when the subject matter is bound to go over the listeners’ heads? Analogies. Lots of analogies. Once upon a time, there were three little goats, named 'Web page', 'Logic', and 'Database'...

Well, this sucks!
I wanted to be snarky about how idiotic the page is, but it's not! It's actually full of the right kind of advice.
How dare they!
Still, I suppose they'll profit by one or two more clicks, because I haven't torn them down.

Google has created Meena, a chatbot it says is better than any other it’s tested — a claim the company supports using a new metric it developed specifically to measure an AI’s conversational abilities. Based on my last few conversations, that might not be too hard

"a claim the company supports using a new metric it developed specifically to measure an AI’s conversational abilities."
So they designed a test that - by some happy chance - places their code in the 1st place. Hmm... where have we seen this before?

Yes, well, the google chatbot has profitted from the input of google groups (which also archived all the newsgroups), everything on twitter and facebook, and probably everything anyone ever fingered or said on their telephone.
i.e. it may be capable of near-human conversation, but it'll sure as sugah be cretin level.

Scientists have applied a quantum machine learning idea back to the human brain to see if it explains human decision-making. "Do you guys just put the word 'quantum' in front of everything?"

If you do that for multiple things is that Quantum Quanta?

I've got a better explanation courtesy of the radio DJs on my daily commute.
1) I believe all things happen for a reason. And a lot of the time that reason is I'm stupid and make very bad decisions.
2) What do you mean 'what was I thinking?'? Obviously I thought I was going to get away with it and not have to answer any stupid questions.
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?

I like the way they managed to screw up the "compiles as" code for the one example in that article so that it wouldn't actually compile.
Also, where has NullArgumentException suddenly come from, and what happened to ArgumentNullException ?

What if, for a moment, we forgot all the rules we know. That we ignore every good idea, and accept all the terrible ones. That nothing is off limits. Can we turn C into a new language? Can we do what Lisp and Forth let the over-eager programmer do, but in C? Using #define for evil

If he wants an API for C, he should just write one.
Oh.
That's what he's doing.
