The Google Home app team explains why all Android developers should write their apps in Kotlin. Strange how they developed an aversion to Java
I wonder what may have caused that?

I believe you're thinking of whOracle.
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?

Except Kotlin is basically Java with bells and whistles.
Kotlin is complied to Java compatible bytecode.
Having worked on Kotlin for the past year or so I have really come to appreciate the .NET framework and Visual Studio.

Had to look him up. He's from Middlesbrough? Sounds just like a former fellow Texan to me. Even says freeway instead of motorway.
And survived pancreatic cancer?! He's truly been on the Road to Hell and back. Lemminkäinen, this one.
This isn't usually the kind of thing I listen to, but I enjoyed it.
Lyrics excerpt: And all the roads jam up with credit
And there's nothing you can do
It's all just bits of paper flying away from you. He knows a ton about central banking, that's for sure.

Deep learning‘s reached the end of its rope. At least according to a group of MIT researchers who recently conducted an audit of more than 1,000 pre-print papers on arXiv. I think I may have heard that before

Modern computers say we’ve squeezed nearly as much out of AI researchers as we can
FTFY

Or too much of AI has squeezed these researchers out of Natural Intelligence.

This sounds like one of those Bill Gates statements when he said nobody would need more than 640K of memory.

Ok, but the sentiment is still valid.

Microsoft has ported the popular Sysinternals Procmon utility to Linux so that users can monitor running processes' activity. Finally, they have something to monitor and manage processes
But it's pretty?
|

I like sysinternals tools but a lot of them are things that do stuff that linux already can do.
like the one that tells you what process is locking a file.

Dogs are renowned for their world-class noses, but a new study suggests they may have an additional—albeit hidden—sensory talent: a magnetic compass. So they're not actually sniffing each other, they're just aligning based on their polarity?

Dung beetles use the Milky Way, but you've got to be nocturnal to do that.

Wow! The old 'Dogs Poop Pointing North' research has become incredibly refined!

The cat sometimes farts something close to a carrion smell. Still dogs sniff intently, as if it is a subtle scent.

The rise of DevOps is more an evolution than a revolution, and developer jobs aren’t going anywhere Uh, the 'dev' part?
Someone actually thought devs were going away just because some of them also deploy to the servers?

Quote: Instead, argued Knupp, the tyranny of DevOps was forcing coders to become generalists rather than specialists. The history of labour is largely one of increasing specialization. Trying to reverse this trend is usually imbecilic.
