So I just got into programming, do you recommend COBOL or FORTRAN?
Speaking of which, I need a new phone and I'll probably go for the Galaxy S8, two models back, and one up from my current.
I bought the S7 when the S8 was out, which has probably been the most up to date I've ever been

Assembly's better. You don't have to memorise so many keywords and function names.

Fans of Pluto were in mourning after it lost its planetary status. But now an intriguing statement from a NASA official has renewed interest. We need to decide just what your very earnest mother just served us: nachos or nine pizzas?
Or Nice Potatoes, Ham, and Maple Eggnog?

I have to say "Who gives a flying frug?"
The only opinions that matter are those of the Plutonians -- and they don't give a damn which silly noises we use to represent their planet while we're making silly noises at each other.
People who give too much importance to such words are people who need to shut the f*** up and do something useful, instead.

The shirt I bought at the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution shows Pluto as a planet. Since they have not sent me an updated shirt not showing Pluto as a planet, for me it is still officially a planet.
But I never wave bye bye

Very few naughty people try to crack passwords; they just steal or download lists.
Password cracking almost only ever happens when it's personal -- e.g. when a "loved one", professional rival, or "security" service wants to read your e-mail.
If you want to give password crackers a really hard time, don't use eight-character passwords.

Nevermind that the S in SONAR is for Sound
Using WiFi to see through walls - ExtremeTechExtreme Tech circa 2012 British engineers from University College London have developed a passive radar system that can see through walls using the WiFi signals generated by wireless routers and access points.
WI-FI INDOOR RADAR - QUALCOMM Incorporated
Patent Info: A system and method for object detection in a wireless network. A wireless communications device receives a first set of wireless signals on a first frequency band, and generates a first interference profile for the wireless network based on signal interference in the first set of wireless signals. The wireless communications device further receives a second set of wireless signals on a second frequency band, and generates a second interference profile for the wireless network based on signal interference in the second set of wireless signals. The wireless communications device then detects the presence of an object in the wireless network based at least in part on the first interference profile and the second interference profile.

As enterprises feel pressure to deploy applications faster and more frequently, demand for strong application developer talent is reaching new heights. Oooo, does this mean I get my own bouncy-house?

I think it would be more effective to make the guys realise what a nice place they have already, compared to people in other lines of work.
Move their desks into a cowshed or a sewer for a week, then take a survey.

The study finds that the DevOps movement is gaining traction and delivering positive outcomes. Citius, Altius, Fortius, DevOpsus

IttyProToddy said: DevOps is an approach that entered the modern enterprise lexicon in recent years, but for Nicole Forsgren most managers, it's more than just an empty buzzword. That's the only fact about DevOps that really matters.

The problem being that DevOps is whatever a company says it is. I've read it defined as anything from developers actually running operations to developers working with operations, which pretty much describes all companies.
I think the former is a disaster in waiting, but do think there is value in having someone separate from IT who maintains the actual operations, be it the server farm, build servers and so forth. This simplifies things for IT and developers.

And sadly, I think the "official" definition is the former. I'm sure it's great for the bottom line, but as you say, disaster in waiting.

The search for good cybersecurity talent is a struggle facing companies across the industry — a problem that is only likely to get worse over the next few years. Where?

It takes a coupe of weeks for the average dev to get up to speed enough to work productively on cyber security, so I don't see what all the fuss and panic is about.
