Another "stunning" study...

|

Based on the fact that they're claiming location data can be anonymized I assume everything else in the study is the result of delusional morons as well and stopped reading.
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’m sure they will - they don’t seem to believe in evergreen pages, or even 302s, a lot of the time.

Narya, as in "this stuff will lead to Narya useful item"?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

If it's broke, write a new language.
It's like modern medicine. Don't fix the underlying problem (the skills of the people writing the software), fix the language. In some ways, that might ultimately work -- make the algorithms that write the programs so smart that a monkey could write the program. Oh wait, isn't that called "no-code"?

If you’re not yet familiar with TypeScript, it’s a language that builds on JavaScript by adding syntax for static types. Now with ... uh, stuff. Read the changelog

A pair of researchers, one from the University of Neuchâtel in Switzerland the other the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Norway has found that it is possible to track mood trends in large groups of people by studying their Twitter posts. Outrage goes up, outrage goes down. Can't explain that.

In a stunning study, researchers found the blindingly obvious. (I should get research dollars and just ask my twelve-year-old granddaughter.)

We started a journey to build a native package manager for Windows 10 when we announced the Windows Package Manager preview at Microsoft Build 2020. Can I install it with Chocolatey/NuGet/npm?

I fear they will do it with a windows update...

A mentor is someone who is more experienced in a career field (like software development) who sets out specifically to form a relationship with someone less experienced. "if you choose the quick and easy path, you will become an agent of evil."

The usual answer is you need more internet speed than you currently have, but let's look closer. How much can I have?
|
|
|
|

Minimum 10Gb, so I can hot-migrate VMs directly over the Internet.
Of course, "need" is debatable. I'm coping with 60Mb at the moment.
As an aside, the fastest I can get here in a high population and business density area in north west London is 60-70Mb on FTTC or 300Mb on cable/fibre from Virgin Media. No FTTP, G.FAST or third party full fibre available here yet and no schedules for any of them.
I was recently perusing houses in the country and I discovered that BT were offering 900Mb (presumably via G.FAST) in the middle of nowhere in rural Gloucestershire.

'struth = J++ was yet another Anders masterwork, and I agree it was probably because it was so good that Sun went after it. (They ignored IBM's efforts until it was too late - even with the "Sundown" code name, and of course Eclipse)
