I have a big problem with it. Recently, I worked on an app where we could have saved money by running it on an Intel NUC running Windows IoT, only to discover that the latter requires UWP. This project would have been worthwhile ONLY if the cost of "porting" was minimal. (Even if we had the time & money, the performance of UWP is unacceptable.)
Microsoft continues to nuke themselves in the foot in the embedded space.

I'm sure that they thought of all that, but decided that they're smarter than you.

Perhaps. Or they decided they were going to create a system compatible only with Microsoft's ecosystem. That this effort is failing belies positive estimations of their forethought.

Even the best cloud computing trend must end: Why PaaS, serverless, OpenStack and multicloud have already seen their best days. Not soon enough?

Does 10X[^], the deep, deep, dank hole with nothing of value at the bottom (as advertised on the best show on TV[^]) mean that winio will be converted back to being an OS for computers, rather than one for phones?
Can we at least hope to profit professionally from the split?

Python: It is popular for providing better results and increasing user experience. Better than what?
JavaScript: ... as it can only work with CSS, AJAX, and CSS. ... and AJAX

Oh, great.
Now the agency spammers will be asking for 3000 years' experience in C#.

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'...

Oh I remember this one. 'Database' had a strong, concrete house, but others had only poor-man's yurt and igloo. And it ends terribly bad, IIRC.

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.
