Well, that game is still awesome! And it was an easter egg in some of the old versions of the software my company produces
EDIT: I mean, Angry Birds had an astounding success and it was basically gorilla.bas with a different UI.

Quote: TechEmpower also reports that the performance of ASP.NET Core running on Linux is approximately 760 times faster than it was one year ago. Since TechEmpower started measuring benchmarks in March 2013, they have never seen such a performance improvement as they have observed in ASP.NET Core over the last year.
Is this a round about way of saying that the previous versions performance was more glacial than whOrcacle when contemplating needing to solve a problem via engineering rather than litigation?

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'm sorry but this forum is for news items. You might want to raise this in the Lounge instead.

Encouraging a new user to post a question disguised as a rant on The Lounge (a privilege normally reserved for those of us who've earned the master debater status)... are you trying to get him(?) banned?

Microsoft announced that it was joining forces with The Linux Foundation at the Microsoft Connect developer event in New York. "It's as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror"

They are probably trying to find a way to buy them out then dump it.

The story[^] posted above about Google joining the .NET Foundation also mentions Microsoft joining the Linux Foundation as a Platinum member, albeit only one sentence at the very end.

Yeah, the story showed up all over the techpress a few hours ago. It's looking like ZDnyet might've jumped an embargo instead.

The idea is simply to let people fool around with example of machine learning, or download the code themselves to see how it works. "Wouldn't you prefer a good game of chess?"

A new study by researchers from the Centre for Systems Neuroscience at the University of Leicester, in collaboration with the University of California Los Angeles, has helped to untangle 'the memory web' by shedding light on how neurons in memory-related areas provide a long-term coding of associations between concepts.

«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008
