SQLite version 3.11.2 is shipping with the Windows 10 Anniversary edition as part of the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) and is recommended for all UWP local data storage needs. They're not forcing people to SQL Server?

TIME Magazine named Apple's iPhone the most influential gadget of all time in a list published Tuesday, which included a variety of tech products from the likes of Sony, IBM, HP and other big-name players. The wheel demands a recount

If you stick with assembled items (not transistors themselves), I believe the Xerox Alto has been FAR more influential...

As a piece of trivia I learned the other day, it called each of: Al Capone (1930), Adolf Hitler (1938) and Angela Merkel (2015) Time Person Of The Year.  oops!

See their definition for "Person of the Year". TIME's Person of the Year, from 1927 to 2011 - TIME[^] It reads 'the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or ill'.
I would say that those persons certainly met that description.

The TIME 'person of the year' for 1930 was Mahatma Gandhi. Al Capone never was selected!

Thanks.
I must admit from the get-go to not having read what their selection criteria are.  Each of them certainly appear to fit. I might add, Ghandi in my mind is a far more worthy candidate than Capone.
While it invariably stings somewhat, the beauty in being wrong and then subsequently corrected is that we walk away with more than we came with. Cheers. ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

Great attitude, thank you!

Researchers propose that the three dimensions of space may have been “frozen in” during the early moments of the universe. This research brought to you by a 3am discussion in the dorm
I mean, have you ever really thought about it, maaaaaan?

If this is right then it means string theory is wrong (as it requires 10 dimensions)...man that's going to really annoy a lot of other physicists (and mathematicians)... I hope they understand the gravity of that assertion

Beware the dangers of commenting without reading the article first:
Quote: The proposal still leaves room for higher dimensions to have occurred in the first fraction of a second after the big bang when the universe was even hotter than it was at the critical temperature. Extra dimensions are present in many cosmological models, most notably string theory. The new study could help explain why, in some of these models, the extra dimensions seem to have collapsed (or stayed the same size, which is very tiny), while the 3D space continued to grow into the entire observable universe.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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 read the article but it went straight over my head - which does prove there are at the very least 3 dimensions. My post was only a vehicle to introduce a "gravity" pun.

Development shops are the powerhouses to creating this software, but to be successful, a developer’s job has to involve more than just code. "I should care but it just doesn't get me"

A developer's job should probably involve automating anything that isn't code - from CI / CD to 90% of the HR / PM side.
So yes - code, coffee and pizza should be the end goal.

you forgot BACON

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
