One of the things I've told potential employers ever since I was fired for refusing to work more is that I don't do overtime. At the very least, not on a regular basis. Assuming you want to be, that is

We can often hear that allocation of objects is “cheap” in .NET. I fully support this sentence because the most important part is its continuation – allocation is cheap but allocating a lot of objects will hit you back as sooner or later garbage collector will kick in and start messing around. All I've got is, "Fear the GC"?

With the new Windows Desktop Program, developers now have a convenient, one-stop portal to view their desktop application analytics or access the data via an API. I think they could have made that product name a little longer

The European Commission has fined Qualcomm €997m for abusing its market dominance in LTE baseband chipsets. Qualcomm prevented rivals from competing in the market by making significant payments to a key customer on condition it would not buy from rivals. This is illegal under EU antitrust rules.
For those who did not know or remember:
Quote: In 2011, Qualcomm signed an agreement with Apple, committing to make significant payments to Apple on condition that the company would exclusively use Qualcomm chipsets in its "iPhone" and "iPad" devices. In 2013, the term of the agreement was extended to the end of 2016.

A new era of computing just got closer, as researchers have created the design and run the first ever practical test for an artificial synapse that could let computers replicate some of the brain’s most powerful and intricate functions. A simulation of a possible chip design that might be made? Where do I invest?

I wonder if it will include the feature where by you walk into a room to get something and forget what it was you're looking for?
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Two exoplanets in the TRAPPIST-1 system have been identified as most likely to be habitable, a paper by PSI Senior Scientist Amy Barr says. So's my couch. Plus, it's closer.

The name doesn't sound too inviting. Welcome to TRAPPIST-1. You can't leave now. I'm not even going on about the second meaning with initial letter missing.

Let’s face it, programming books suck. Those general books on distributed systems or data science or whatever can be tomes for a lifetime, but, with few exceptions, there’s something about the books on how to write code in a language/framework/database/cupcake-maker, the ones with the animal covers and the cutesy sample apps, they just tend to be so forgettable, so trite, so….uneducational. "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I may remember. Involve me and I learn"

They tend to burn pretty well though.

A new NPR/Marist poll finds that 1 in 5 jobs in America is held by a worker under contract. Within a decade, contractors and freelancers could make up half of the American workforce. "Gypsys, tramps and thieves"

Since the internet became mainstream less than 20 years ago, faith in traditional institutions and consumption of traditional media has also been displaced by faith in newer, digital institutions and consumption of newer, digital media, according to the 15th annual Digital Future Report recently produced by the USC Annenberg Center for the Digital Future. I thought it was more like 17 hours a day, personally
