When was software ever "on the rails" ?
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

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
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

The article should be retitled "Let's listen to anti-malware companies blow smoke up our asses."
Makes you almost wonder if they're just snake oil salesmen.

“There used to be an immediacy to the web,” says Anil Dash. “It was something you made.” New programming language (coming soon): bug
Really. Glitch?

After programmers build an AI algorithm, they need to help it learn from data. If it added raisins, we know we're doomed
Apologies if anyone actually likes raisins in cookies, but they do not belong in chocolate chip cookies.

No apologies necessary, just as chocolate chips do not belong in raisin cookies.

Proofs that P=NP, and even for the less exciting and more likely P≠NP, abound. Most of them by enthusiasts who, usually, can be commended for their enthusiasm, but not so much for their proofs. Npossible nprofound nproblem nproof nproduced

The silk proteins themselves are involved in locally increasing the laser power. Why? Because it just sounds frickin' cool, man!

That was an amusing movie. Not for those who actually have arachnophobia.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

By now, everyone in the development community is familiar with the extent to which Microsoft has open sourced its development tools -- .NET Core, ASP.NET Core and others. What most might not know is that Microsoft tried numerous times in the past to do this. "Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone? Open your heart, I'm coming home"

Yup - the technology:
The Internet wasn't ready, GitHub didn't exist, and they didn't understand licensing appropriately.
finally exists for Microsoft to get you to work for them for free, legally.

Quote: Microsoft researchers have created a system that uses artificial intelligence to keep the sailplane in the air without using a motor, by autonomously finding and catching rides on naturally occurring thermals, similar to how many birds stay aloft.
Science mimics nature: Microsoft researchers test AI-controlled soaring machine - News Center[^]
What is particularly interesting (to me) about this is the two-layer approach to the AI with the high level AI using one set of techniques to derive a policy/objectives view of the problem and another layer working on the actual implementation details. This mimics the conscious/automatic split of the animal brain (?)
